    fun beat em up game repetative but fun just not worth the 10 or 15 dollars i paid. Like the humor and the story line is funny too but even though being a retro game it could've been done a lot cooler with a lot more options to it. would've def paid 5 bux for it but no more with that with how many other great games there are out there for same amount of money (go to steam they have 5 dollarfun beat em up game repetative but fun just not worth the 10 or 15 dollars i paid.

    After giving Fist Puncher a try I get the impression that the developers really didn't grow up in that era and sort of misses the essence of what old school fighting games are suppose to be like. Take out the nostalgic factor and imagine for a second that Fist Puncher came out at around the same time as Double Dragon or Streets of Rage.

Take out the nostalgic factor and imagine for a second that Fist Puncher came out at around the same time as Double Dragon or Streets of Rage. Most gamers at that time would have looked upon Fist Puncher as being okay but not great. First off Double Dragon and Streets of Rage looked a whole lot better on NES and Genesis. The pix-elated graphics here is overdone to say the least. Second, the fighting physics in those games was much more refined. Every move felt like it was actually connecting with the enemy. Here the fighting physics feels messy and unrefined! Third, I believe character leveling up is unnecessary in this genre. Game difficulty is what its all about. Fourth, is there a reason why weapons shouldn't last for more then 3 hits? Fifth, no online multiplayer. What! Finally, despite having some faults I still think that Fist Puncher is a pretty decent fighter overall. I would also recommend checking out Castle Crushers same genre better game if your interested.… Expand

    Like a roller coaster ride. Except that you don't fall down into the cold water at the very end but directly among bizarre and violent enemies. This is one of the best action-oriented game I have recently played.

    At first Fist Puncher seemed like good, mindless fun, but the more I played, the more tired I grew of it. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.75]
