Boxing Star - PvP Match 3: A Knockout or a Low Blow?
The popular sports sim, Boxing Star, enters the match-3 puzzle arena, delivering a surprisingly aggressive twist on the genre. Available now on Android and iOS, this competitive puzzler pits players against each other in a battle of wits and quick reflexes.
The core gameplay is classic match-3: match three or more identical gems to score points and build combos. However, the context is far from the usual saccharine settings. Instead of decorating gardens, you're pummeling your opponent's avatar in a virtual boxing ring, with your puzzle performance directly impacting the outcome of the fight.
This unique approach is a refreshing departure from the typically gentler match-3 landscape, dominated by titles like Candy Crush and Gossip Harbour. Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 injects a healthy dose of high-octane action, making it a significantly more intense experience.
While the concept is commendable for its originality, the execution feels somewhat lacking. The game appears to reuse assets from the original Boxing Star, and the match-3 mechanics themselves feel rather generic. Despite this, the unconventional blend of boxing and puzzle gameplay provides a distinctive experience.
