In the gaming industry, retro has long been in vogue, and therefore, with enviable regularity, new items appear in stores that correspond to this trend. Most of them are of no interest, and only a few are worthy of the attention of gamers. Among the latter are Punch Club for iPhone and iPad.

The value of this game is not limited to retro style, but above all, lies in the original gameplay. Using the characteristic features of American action movies of the 80s, the project is not a fighting game at all, as one might think of first thing, but a real simulator or fighter manager.
Story Punch Club begins with the murder of the protagonist’s father. An orphan is picked up by a former policeman and left to be raised. Nothing particularly good comes of this – the young man grows up to be a real gouge. Once he is attacked by evil personalities in a dark alley and he turns them off in front of a man who turned out to be a former friend of his father, who is also a coach. He invites the guy to take part in fighting tournaments and from that moment the actual gameplay begins.

The gamer will have to constantly “pump” his hero, tracking the indicators of strength, agility and endurance. To maintain them, you will need to train regularly, but training requires money, and you can earn it only at a construction site. Construction, like training, takes a lot of energy, which should be restored by eating and sleeping – for the first, again, money is required, for the second – time. As a result, the user needs to create a mode for his character, given that the ultimate goal is the championship in tournaments.
Fights in Punch Club take place almost without the intervention of the gamer. Their outcome depends on the chosen fighting style and the characteristics of both opponents. The process of training, championships and everyday activities is accompanied by a story about revenge, friendship, betrayal and other things gleaned from old classic Hollywood action movies.
Summing up, it should be noted that the game was created by Russian developers. The project earned its first million dollars ten days after the release. The successful combination of retro elements (in this case, references to the most famous films, their heroes and plot features) with the original gameplay led to the fact that the project was positively evaluated by both critics and ordinary gamers.
