Bare Knuckle Sandwich

I had a dude tell me that if I didn't have **** stains after leg day, that I'm not lifting hard enough. Try the game. Get your own **** stains. This feels like a game developed by gamers, and man it works. The writing is clever, the environment is immersive from the start, and the music BANGS. I did not anticipate this much depth for a 2D scroller. The pacing of the game is exceptional. There's just enough backstory in the start to really paint the picture of Gunner's situation, but it doesn't waste time before it throws you into the ring. It's impressive that within the first 30 minutes, you understand the character's motives, get to interact with others on the streets and have your first fight. The fighting is the meat and potatoes of the game, and it really shines. The controls are so simple that you're allowed to focus on the character design while you react to your opponent's punches. The dialog between fight stages is great, you really feel like you're talking ****. The fights are crisp, and the sound design is stellar. It feels SO rewarding to land that perfect counter punch. Outside of fights, the streets feel alive and interacting with others showcases the great writing. There's enough content with this, and the engaging minigames that don't make you feel like you're just killing time before your next fight. All in all, there's a lot of game here from what appears to be just a 2D scroller. Highly recommend.

Solid experience for the price, left me wanting more.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing through this game! The plot of the story is intriguing and paces itself very well. The fighting along with satisfying sound design contribute to this games persona, as well as the unique opponents with lots of character and mechanics. The music and art style fit the game so well too

Great meat slapping sounds. For real though I really enjoy this game. The mechanics are solid and it's got a pretty fun story so far. The references are fun when ya find them and i enjoy the sas. Also v down for all the anti AI art messages that are sprinkled through that's mint.

A very satisfying punch-out-esque boxing game where you pummel your opponents (and get beaten up yourself). I love the variety of opponents you fight, each with their quirks and patterns to learn to battle against. Some matches are definitely challenging and really tests your skills and reflexes! Great pixel art, animations and music! It really sets the mood of the story of finding a purpose in this unforgiving world.

Real short and real sweet arcade boxing game a-la Punch Out. 2 hours to beat. Story is simple and solid, the dialogue is witty, music is great (is that To A Husband At War tabs i hear), visual style is kinda gross but endearing (which makes sense), characters are funny and unique. It's your typical "Finding a purpose in life as an aimless weak young adult" but it's executed well enough. You can really tell the devs ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hated the crypto and NFT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of early 2020s and i can't really blame them, but almost every NPC's dialogue being about the delusion with crypto gets tiring lol. Kinda sucks that the game doesn't have controller support. The boxing is solid, has 2 mini-games (one of which has you moderate V-Tuber's stream chat lmao) and side-scrolling 2D walking sections in-between matches long with cutscenes, and a shop where you can buy some clothes and decorations for your flat. It's dirt cheap, worth getting on sale or even full price. Looking forward for future projects by the devs.

playing this feels like you are actually at a low point in your life

Cool lil game I bought on a whim. Nice stuff.

Pretty damn good simple satisfying boxing game, love the story and art style.
