FIGHTING BOX
I like the game; it’s a fun little game that I can play if I have 5 minutes to spare and nothing else to do. I am, however, experiancing crashes every 5 minutes or so. Overall, I think it’s a fun game that could become great with the right development.

The concept is great but the game gets boring after 5 minutes. Maybe if leader boards are included for competitiveness I would be inclined to play more. At the moment it seems the developer hasn’t spent much time on the game.

Pato Box
Ok, so this review is loooooong overdue…
What can I say? This is my personal game of the year, as well as one of my favourite games of all time. This game impressed me on so many levels it’s insane.
Graphics: Very reminiscent of Madworld on Wii, but much cleaner here and looks much better imo.
OST: Some REALLY unique and catchy tunes here. It’s all on YouTube, so go listen if you don’t believe me (or if you want to support these guys by purchasing it, pls do :P).
Store: Very interesting, dark and unique with plot twists. I won’t spoil anything.

I want to start off and say that my reviews are judged on ‘base price’ of the game. In this case the current price is 15$.
I say that yeah, I think this game would be worth 15$, however ‘to who’ is the question.
Let me try to help any of you who are on the fence about this game right out the gate. I’ll tell you a few things the game has that might attract or repel you.
-The main character is a man with the head of a duck.
-The main gameplay is reminiscent of ‘Punch out’ (And maybe a lil bit of ‘Crossed Swords’ in there)

Drunken Fist 🍺👊 Totally Accurate Beat ‘em up
I mainly recommend this game because it’s very cheap and it’s a very unique fun concept with the physics based fighting. More games should use proper physics. There is a sufficient amount of different moves to make it rather interesting. (although I’d add a few more)
However I think it’s far from desirable. It feels unpolished / unfinished with many features, such as key rebinding and level select are missing on release.
I also don’t like the “drunken” part. Sure, it’s advertised in the title, but in practice it means that the game is hard to control and clunky. While some could consider the result funny, I can only think of it as frustrating, as things often don’t work as I expect.

Tl;dr: Drunken Fist is a silly game that needs a lot of work. It feels like an Early Access title, but it’s being sold as a finished product.
The Good
- Silly and good for a laugh* Charming art style
The Bad
- Priced a bit higher than it should be for the quality/amount of content ($2 - $3 seems more reasonable)* Controls aren’t always responsive* Lacks something as basic as the ability to exit the game from the main menu* Player character can get stuck inside the scenery

Election Year Knockout
A really fun Punch-Out style game, featuring funny parodies of US politicians (Crenshaw being one of my favourites and you’ll see why). Each opponent has their own gimmick that’s fun to figure out, and are all satisfying to beat up. There’s no deep political commentary or anything, just parodies mocking US politicians, much like how the Punch-Out games mocked stereotypes of different nationalities and cultures. The EX boxers are all fun, souped-up rematches against the fighters, serving as a really nice bonus newgame+ for after you’ve done everything else. Much like the Title Defence fights in Punch-Out Wii, these are much harder than the original fights and offer a huge variety of newer, more devastating attacks for each rematch that the player will have to learn and adapt to. The challenges in each fight help boost the game’s replayability, there’s 10 for every fighter in the game (5 for normal and 5 for EX) and they can be tough to figure out, but extremely satisfying once you’ve got them all. The roster is quite limited, however the devs have considered adding more boxers if the game gets enough traction (personally I’m hoping for Bojo to get in). I’d definitely recommend if you’re a fan of Punch-Out or if you just like taking the piss out of US politics.

Not one hundred percent flushed out and people who want to complete everything will be frustrated at some mission because you have no clue why something did not count. But for the most part and the main gameplay, this is just gorgeus. plays nice and funny. long and hard at the later fights until you know what you are doing

Fisticubes - One Button Boxing!
[I’ve edited my review since the game brought new updates. All small edit notes are like this]
Think “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots”, but instead of robots, it’s cubes who bounce around in a retro Nintendo 64-like world. It’s a game with strong arcade roots - you don’t have long cutscenes, no stories, you just get told how to play and jump in. It also reminds me of mini-game classics like Mario Party, a popular franchise back then which birthed many titles on the N64. If you want quick, mindless fun, it’s one of those games. If you’re at home with a friend and you’re bored, you can avoid a dull evening with Fisticubes.

Bird Boxing
I played this with a friend via remote play and enjoyed it a lot. There are some major bugs at the moment that hampered the play, namely with controller detection. Glitches such as the volume control reverting back to full volume in the middle of a match, sudden death rounds not allowing anyone to take damage, or being able to bring up the main menu during arcade mode and blocking up the screen, these are a few examples.
This game fills a niche that I really like and is cheaply priced. If you do not like unfinished early access games, then you should wait for more development, but I’ve gotten the game to be able to provide more feedback to the developers. I can give this game a modest recommendation for now.

Big Adventure Of Fighting Chicken
I bought this game for a dollar, and I still question if it was worth that. It’s like, barely functional, and I didn’t get very far before it’s brokenness made it ridiculously hard. Maybe get this on a 90 off sale if you’re curious, maybe.

Punch Club
Ah… Punch-club. A once in a life time time opportunity to become town’s boxing champion with nothing to back you but your fists… and your elbows, feet, magic amulets and Chinese Master Splinter’s wise teachings.
The game is a strange mixture between a “point and click” and a fighting management game that works better than it sounds! You start as a young wanna-be martial artist in a retro environment and through training and fighting other people in legal and illegal fights you try to become the number one. Two things obviously make this game unique. First, its wacky story, filled with nostalgia moments and movie/game references that most people will immediately recognize, and its mechanics.

Punch Club is branded as a tycoon management game with simulation and RPG mechanics. While that is not neccesarily a lie or a shady way of representing what the game really is, I personally view is as a casual coach simulation game. You are both the main protagonist’s personal trainer when it comes to fitness and training, and coach when it comes to selecting which skills should he use in combat or learn as he improves. It is your task to guide him in his quest to become a world-renowned fighter and discover who killed his father and why.
