Love this Game!

I bought this game sometime in 2017, and have tried thereabouts 6 times to get into it, and it's just very punishing for no real reason with it's bizarre gameplay design On one hand, you are supposed to make the most out of your time, on the other, weirdly lavish animations waste your time while the gameplay clock is ticking (this is mostly about rest/entertainment and whatnot, the bubbles are about 2 ticks behind before they update your stat bars). Also stat decay is beyond insane, whoever designed the workout system has never really done any fitness training themselves. You gain 100 stamina points in one day, and then clock turns over and you lose 60 of those points. This is only a real issue for 0.1% world class athletes who push themselves to and beyond human limits IRL. A random dude who is just starting his journey should not suffer this much decay, also in real life once you gotten to a certain level of fitness at one point in your life, it is quite a bit easier to get there back again than just pushing there from zero the first time. I assume that the dev made close to zero research into the mechanics of actual bodybuilding/fitness/athleticism. The dev seems to have a…

pretty fun game its a grind best to focus on one skill tree path rather than evening out the attributes makes the mid the end game easy. there's cool easter egg of 80's and 90's mixed in here which is cool this not a beat em up like street of rage more like just a point and click more like the sims. game might last you 10-15 hrs but was worth for the dollar i spent great game. there is a cool ladder mode like the old MK and street fighter add more to the game from its story mode. Here mod make it more toward the Rpg once you get to high stat won't drain as bad https://www.nexusmods.com/punchclub/mods/2?tab=posts&BH=0

I played this game some time ago and the i stop right before the end and i dont remember why. Now i installed the game again and again got all the way to the end and game softlocked. I cant travel on map or interact with some NPCs. Game is entertaining but gets repetitive quickly after few hours. But the game is just few hours long so as it got repetitive i thought i am about to finish it and then i broke right before the end. Seriously annoying. It does not seem to happen to lot of people but it happens to me every time.

it's just okay. The two songs in the game that loop during town exploration and fights will drive you nuts. And so will the daily stat debuffs. I don't think I am the target audience for this kind of thing. I was looking up videos and people playing this game way back when apparently didn't have a fast forward during fights and that is waaaaaay tragic. RIP those first players. Seriously.

good game
