Boxing Star, ThumbAge’s popular arcade boxing sim, has received a fresh update packed with exciting new features. Two devastating new MegaPunches—special super moves—have been added to your boxer's arsenal, giving you even more ways to flatten your opponents. In addition, new gym training equipment is now available to enhance your character's abilities between fights.
While purists might prefer a strictly realistic simulation, Boxing Star's blend of over-the-top expressions and intense action is undeniably fun. The addition of these powerful MegaPunches takes the fun to a whole new level. These super moves, similar to Street Fighter's Critical Arts, unleash devastating blows when your Hyper Gauge is full. Two new additions expand the already impressive selection.
The new MegaPunches introduce a fantastical element to the gameplay. Flame Bone, inspired by mythical dragons, engulfs your opponent in flames, dealing damage based on critical hits. Frost Fang, on the other hand, freezes opponents in place with icy power, inflicting damage while the chilling effect lasts.
Mega!
But the update isn't just about flashy new moves. Boxing Star also introduces new gym equipment to enhance your training regimen. The Deadlift machine boosts skill damage stats and can be upgraded to level 8, while the Training Timer significantly reduces skill training times.
So, while Boxing Star might not be a hyper-realistic boxing simulator (unless you're envisioning a bout between Superman and the Hulk!), it consistently delivers exciting and visually appealing content.
If you're looking for a change of pace from sports sims, consider exploring some fresh arcade releases. Amusement Arcade Toaplan, for example, brings back classic 80s arcade hits, even offering a personal 3D arcade experience!
