Punch Club

Punch Club is a single-player sports management and life simulation game with role-playing elements. The story follows an unnamed young man whose father, a skilled martial artist, was murdered during the protagonist’s childhood. Determined to uncover the identity of the killer while building his own reputation, the player takes charge of training and managing the character’s daily life. The path forward combines the pursuit of boxing glory with the personal quest for justice, all presented with numerous references to action films and pop culture of the 1980s and 1990s.

Gameplay revolves around balancing the protagonist’s time, money, and physical needs. Activities such as working jobs, eating meals, and resting consume both time and energy, while training in gyms or at home builds the character’s strength, agility, and stamina. These core attributes form the foundation for fighting styles and strategies. Time advances continuously, and poor management may leave the character hungry, exhausted, or unprepared for important matches.
