i enjoyed the vibe
Great game! Really captured what it was like playing Punch Out as a kid for the first time. Definitely recommend this for anyone that likes the Punch Out fighting style or anyone on the fence about checking it out
The world sucks but this game doesn't
Overall Bare Knuckle Sandwich is a fantastic game. The presentation is quite nice although some sprites are kinda scuffed notably the fighters portraits in arcade mode. The difficulty was pretty good outside of Bart. I feel like he was WAY too hard for how early you fight him. The mechanics and combat feel great outside of one, The dodging. Now this could be my Punch out! bias which I'm sure this game was based on but I find it weird that most attacks in the game can only be dodged one way which really screwed with my muscle memory and led to a few losses and not being able to even get knocked down once, I feel was to artificially raise the difficulty. The story was a bit predictable but not bad and the protagonist Gunner I feel was executed quite well. Although i would of liked to see how his life turned out. Outside of a text message before fading to black. Overall 8/0
Makes me feel nostalgic for the Addicting Games era of the internet. I like that each fight is unique and challenging. Fun times. Buy the game and go knock Chase out.
A solid punch-out-like with great writing and characters. The fighting mechanics are simple but utilized well. All the different opponents are unique and fun to figure out.
This game is okay. It definitely isn't as good as the real Punchout, but any content for a dead franchise is appreciated as long as it isn't terrible. My favorite part is that one of the boxers is basically literally Andrew Tate.
Awesome game! If you like punch out pick it up
as much as i loved the game before, i still wish the dev would update the game to fix the bug. cause i cant open the game.
so is life i guess
