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 offering, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, now available on Android and iOS. This isn't your typical relaxing match-3 experience. Instead, players face off 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 marks a significant departure from the usual match-3 landscape, which often features gentler themes. While the concept of a boxing-themed match-3 is innovative and stands out from the crowd (think Candy Crush, Gossip Harbour, etc.), the execution feels somewhat less polished. The game appears to utilize existing models and animations from the original Boxing Star, combined with a fairly standard match-3 gameplay structure.

The match-3 market often caters to a more casual audience, prioritizing relaxed and non-violent gameplay. Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, however, attempts to translate the intensity of boxing into the puzzle genre. While this bold approach is commendable for its originality, the lack of apparent refinement might leave some players wanting more.

Despite its shortcomings, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 offers a unique take on the match-3 formula. After experiencing the thrill (or frustration) of the game, consider exploring other top-tier puzzle games.
