Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 launches globally for iOS and Android

Boxing Star - PvP Match 3: A Knockout or a Low Blow?

The popular sports sim, Boxing Star, enters the puzzle game arena with its latest title, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, now available on Android and iOS. This isn't your typical relaxing match-3 experience. Instead, players engage in head-to-head competition, using match-3 puzzle skills to rack up combos and high scores, directly impacting their in-game avatars' boxing performance.

This competitive twist offers a unique take on the match-3 genre, a refreshing departure from the often gentler themes of house renovation or garden design found in many similar games. The violent nature of the boxing theme gives Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 a distinct, almost R-rated edge.

A Critical Uppercut (or Maybe a Jab?)

Many match-3 games target a more casual audience with peaceful themes, like those seen in Candy Crush or Gossip Harbour. Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, however, aims for a high-octane, boxing-inspired experience. While the concept is commendable for its originality, the execution feels somewhat lacking. The game appears to reuse assets and animations from the original Boxing Star, and the match-3 gameplay itself feels generic.

Despite these shortcomings, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 provides a unique competitive match-3 experience. After experiencing the thrill (or frustration) of the game, consider exploring other puzzle titles.
