Beast Boxing Turbo

Beast Boxing Turbo is the PunchOut or Wii Sports Boxing for the PC. It controls pretty much the same way as those games and it has the same looks as PunchOut and actually manages to look a bit cooler thanks to the variety in opponents, even if there are only 12 of them. The game really is beautifully rendered, but the fact that the backdrops and the crowds are in 2D is a bit disappointing. You can use the mouse or controller to land your punches and there's an extensive tutorial to help you ease into the game. Except that, by the game you reach the 10th opponent - and at the same time the last tutorial - the game is almost over. Yes, there's a New Game+, but it's still a shame if you're not into stuff like that, or simply do not have the patience to go through it again. Defeating opponents rewards you with money. Money that can be used to upgrade your character by training at the gym or by buying equipment. By the time you reach the last opponent you're probably already strong enou...

Not played many boxing games but this one does the mechanics fairly well with its attacks but sadly the fights in the game become mostly strafing away from your opponent and spamming your attacks at the right time. With more limited movement the fighting could have been a fair bit more interesting and challenging. The games story mode contains about 12 fights in increasing difficulty and adding new abilities step by step, but due to needing to upgrade your skills and equipment the game becomes a bit grindy and repetitive. The story itself along with the games graphics are sound are mostly passable and don't really add much to the game. Contains the usual progression achievements along with some stuff for doing fights in a certain way. It also has three difficulty achievements that thankfully all unlock if you beat the game on the hardest difficulty. [b]Time to 100%:[/b] 3-4 hours

the words "Poo" and "stew" come to mind when I think about this game

If I had one complaint about this game, it would only be that it's too short. However I'll also say that the Continue+ mode, Endless mode and several difficulty levels mitigates this as well as it can. I usually judge a game based on 5 criteria, listed in order of important: Gameplay, Controls, Replayability, Sound & Graphics. Gameplay: As many people before me have said this is definitely an homage to Punch Out from the slew of eccentric and quirky characters to the first person boxing mode. The gameplay though is very tight. The AI doesn't feel like it cheats, there's no psuedo difficulty or anything of that nature. The AI learns from your patterns and which attacks you're using most and will guard against it in the current and next round, forcing players to avoid a specific pattern or style of play. Controls: You can rock the keyboard or you can rock a gamepad, fully customizable and absolutely no complaints here. Controls are such an important part of a game, they can make a gam...

"In the Beast Boxing Leagues of Beasthalla, the strongest monsters fight for fame and fortune." You are Char, a great fan of Beast Boxing. You dream abotu one day becomming a beast boxer yourself. But there is one problem: you are a human from the slums and humans are not allowed to compete. So you buy a monster costume and trick your way to a qualifying match for the Bush League, the lowest league there is. And that is where the game starts and you start to jab, cross, hook and uppercut yourself to fame and fortune. And eventually realize that youa re fighting for more than just your dream, but human rights and the place of humanity in a beasty world. The controls are fairly simple, be it controller or keyboard, requiring only either an analogue stick and two buttons, or the arrow keys and two punching keys. As you progress through the game, you are tought to block, dodge, counter and preserve your stamina through a series of optional tutorial fights. There are 12 opponents in total ...

A fun little game with a nice, steady sense of progression and a corresponding well-paced increase in difficulty. I do not know when this was pulled from sale on Steam (as of 9/19 it is no longer available), but if it comes back I'm here to say you should pick it up. It's a great arcade boxing game in a unique world of humans and monsters.

Somewhat short, but definitely fun. This is the only Punch Out styled game, that I've seen, that's worth two bops to the nose.

I hate this game. I don't like thast I am forced to play as girl, I don't like the unecessarily complex inputs for simple moves, and the ring movement makes no sense to anyone who follows boxing, plays boxing games or puts in time at the local boxing gym. It was a 2$ game, and tho I would have been happier with an energy drink, I am not gonna cry over 2 bucks..... This game can go suck an egg.

Even though I don't recommend this game (particularly at it's $5 price point) I actually think there's a lot to like here. +There's a great, vibrant world! +Fun, imaginative characters! +Instantly engaging art style! +Stats that you build up with money earned from fights! +Great music/sound effects! +Responsive controls! Unfortunately, in the end, this is a video game. And even though most of the game is contained in the above plus column, the simple fact remains that... -It's an incredibly solvable, mindless game. I get why this is billed as "Punch Out with Monsters", and if it actually had been it would have been a better game. Unfortunately, there is this poorly thought out strafing mechanic that dominates the AI entirely. Strafe to recover stamina, jab when they get in range, strafe again. Repeat until gloves are on fire. You can literately beat the entire game doing this- ignoring all of the other mechanics in the game, all stat building, etc. etc. I would play the hell out o...
