Prizefighters 2 Reviews

The customization is great and the graphics are nice to look at, but the controls are absolutely horrible. The buttons are incredibly hard to push, half the time you miss them completely and the dodges are only based on luck, not timing or skill. If you could actually make it so we could see a jab or hit coming beforehand so that we could have a way to dodge it, that’d be great. But you don’t. Half the time you’re left tapping the dodge button 50 times so that you don’t get hit (but you still do).
The stun time is too short as well. Your opponents eyes widen so that you know when to do a big hit, but by the time you process that you need to big hit them, they’ve already dodged it. So you’re better off by just spanning the dodge and jab randomly in hopes of maybe getting a good scorers decision when the match ends.
There plenty more about the gameplay that is bad, but I’ve already wasted 10 minutes on this review that no one is going to read.
This could be a good game, but the gameplay is easily some of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Overall, great concept for a game. Coming from an era of Mike Tyson’s Punchout, I was expecting the same style of mechanics, but with the twist of upgrades and PVP elements.

The complexity of each fight takes away from the retro/simplistic feel of this game. There are 4 buttons for hitting, and 4 for moving forwards/backwards to move closer or away from the opponent, plus left/right dodge, and two buttons to block. This brings the total button interface to 10. On a phone, there’s more buttons than screen.

On top of that, in order to perform certain moves, you need to press combinations to do so, or in some instances, long press to perform power attacks. While you’re busy trying to figure out what buttons to press, you’re also trying to determine what your opponent is doing.

They’ve made this game far too complicated in the PVE element. I think this layout works for PvP because of the lack of AI.

I would recommend keeping it simple for the standard campaign, left and right to dodge, up to block up (press no button to block lower) and down to duck. Two buttons to hit (left or right side) with holding up to strike the face. Hold for power attack. The controls need to be simplified.

Normally, I don’t write reviews on a game, but this seemed very necessary. When I first got the game, it was extremely fun, especially in career mode. I liked it so much that I paid $3 to get the premium edition to play promoter mode. However, this mode has got to be the most bland and dull game mode of all time. There is simply nothing to do really besides assigning different fighters against each other. This concept could have been much better with ideas like PPV buys and the company’s budget and more interaction between fans or conference meetings or really anything to add more to this game mode so that it is actually fun and playable. Although I love this game and every aspect of it, the $3 I spent was not really worth it at all.

Ok here listen when I first got this game I was like “i can’t wait I wanna see if the game was just like the original”so I booted up the game and started my character I could not win like everytime I try to win I end up either not making it or getting knocked out see here’s the thing I expected it to be like the original fun can be Challenging but you can still win whenever I try to Ko someone I can the punches are to weak and that’s the problem with this game you need to make it like the original they changed the game way to much cause listen you almost can’t run out of stamina you have so much Health and all the punches are straight up weak I literally went to the highest strength and that did literally nothing I’m sad cause I expected this to be good so devs make more like the original we’re you can actually know people out

It’s a fun game for sure, but the tutorial could definitely use work, it doesn’t teach you anything about the scoring or fight stats system, and you don’t even get to see health and stamina bars until it’s over. As well as that, you can’t compare your stats to other fighters, once you click on a fighter who you’re thinking about challenging, you have to back out of the challenge menu to see your own stats again, you can’t just click on your character, or get a side by side stat comparison, it makes figuring out which opponent you want to challenge take an unnecessary amount of extra time. Other than that it’s a fun game with a retro feel and some interesting mechanics.

The thing I like the most about the game is that it’s perfectly 80’s! I could totally picture myself playing this in 1987.
The game play is pretty good overall, but would be more fun if the AI fighters had signature combos. Similarly, the sound effects could vary a bit more. Perhaps have minimum of 4-6 sound sets that can be attributed to each boxer. Right now it’s like 3 combat sounds. Gets old fast and endlessly annoying after several fights.
Biggest complaint is the stats. They don’t work. In a career of less than 100 fights, my knockdown total was in the thousands when I had only been knocked down a few times. It was laughable, but how do I take this game serious now? Discourages play.
Nevertheless, thank you for making it and best wishes on your success.

This game is very good for the retro boxing theme i think if you guys add more characters from hajime no ippo and characters from real life boxing would be awesome! I also think a pvp mode where you fight real people would be cool. With this you guys can add rank where you would gain points by winning and lose points by losing, with this you can add special cosmetics/colors you can obtain for your rank. Please consider this because it would be awesome and would make it a 5 star game!

This game is really fun and highly addictive. My main problem is that the game is not really playable on manager unless you want to spend real money on it. Even at different difficulties it seems very difficult to keep a player you have developed after his contract runs out the first couple of times. So you can either spend real money or get someone new, but then there are no new young cheap players to start the grime again with. If that could be balanced more I think it would be a much more enjoyable game and you could focus more on having a gym instead of trying to afford the one player you’ve been building up.

Listen up everyone, As a big boxing critic I can say that this game is the one of the most complete boxing games on mobile.
Career mode has
-Different fighting styles
-Different Division and titles
-Fight contracts are dependent on fan interest
- Realistic opponent records and styles
-Ability to change your weight (also affects your speed and strength)
-Ability to move up and down divisions
-Able to be double, triple champion in multiple Division
-Age matters and Ai generated fighters retires after a certain age
- Ability to live spare during training

This are all the pros of the career mode. There are many more pros that is not listen

Now let’s talk about the CONS and aspects that needs improvement in the Career mode

- there are no Rivals.
- The fight contract is very basic. Fight Contract needs to have
1.) Needs to have a specific weight that the fighters must make before the fight!!
2.) Rematch clause
3.) specific Arena
etc

- Ai Generated Gym in career mode. Ability to join different Ai generated gym with specific training partners

Listen Devs I would like to invest in this game and I would love to see this changes

I really enjoyed this game, everything about it. I liked the retro style graphics of the game and mechanics of the game and loved the grind that it took to make it to the top, but once you reach the top you just lose motivation since your already the best. It didn’t take much time for me to be #1 so I recommend you put tournaments or make it harder to get to the top. But overall the game was pretty solid, just wished I could’ve done more in the game. Hope you listen to my review and make changes. Thanks

You’d be hard pressed to find a better mobile boxing game, particularly of the 8-bit variety. Steeped in nostalgia, with mechanics reminiscent of those of the Punchout games of old, it provides the option of being either a fighter OR a manager as a career, something generally unique to boxing games.

The developer is as responsive and active as they come, and the online community is vibrant and friendly. You pay for much more than the ‘premium version’ of the game if you buy it.

As far as mobile apps go, PF2 ranks among the top in quality, both in game and outside of it. It’s a must have for all boxing fans.

Wow, there’s a lot to unpack here! First of all, I love the fight mechanic. The buttons and controls all operate smoothly and are translated into the game perfectly. The animation in game is nothing less than impeccable, from throwing a swift left hook to the sweat of my opponents face drifting off when they get hit. The game itself is somewhat reminiscent of the classic “Punch Out!!” From the 80’s (I love that game). The mode where you create the path of your own player and have to train, schedule fights, upgrade your gym and improve your ratings is so fun. I would absolutely recommend getting premium. It’s a great deal with a whole lot of stuff to do and for a low price!
You get to add multiple custom fighters, change the fighting ring, change the league itself and it’s classes, and much more! This game has NO ads, which is honestly surprising. I’d almost recommend ads be put in the game, just so the developer gets more revenue. The best part is, if you have a bug or suggestion, the developer was kind enough to leave their discord server in the game so you can ask them anything! I had a couple suggestions and they were very kind and pleasant about it. Definitely the best 2D boxing game in the AppStore. It’s updated often, and the developer takes the suggestions to heart in order to make the game better for everyone. Would recommend this game to literally ANYONE.

This game feels really polished and is significantly better than the original! I like the new controls and the overhauled training system; it feels much more thought out and in depth. One thing I noticed early on though is that knockouts seem harder to come by. So far, I’ve only been able to get knock downs once the hp bar is all the way down (not sure if it’s supposed to be like this) but one thing I liked about the previous version was that you could get knockdowns without that. That’s my only small complaint. Also, with the implementation of weight, I’d love to see something to do with scaling up and down weight divisions. I think that would add to the replay-ability and could offer unique challenges.

so i really love this game! its nice to have a boxing game with a retro art style, the gameplay works perfectly with the presentation. i do have some nitpicks that keep me from giving 5 stars. i like the counterpunching and the power move system, but i feel like i the AI always used the same strategy in normal and hard difficulty. some opponents would hit harder than others which made it more challenging, but i would’ve liked if the opponents actually fought according to their archetypes. in my experience, the brawler, outfighter, and boxer puncher types all fought the same. maybe an update could change the AI slightly. also, i would love if the devs added more hair color options such as pink or green. i really feel like that could lead to more creative character creation. last thing, i bought the premium edition and i was really confused by the “be the promoter” mode; i feel like this may need more depth as all i could do was watch events happen without doing any matchmaking or interaction. other than that, i really did enjoy my time playing and i’ll probably end up giving the game 5 stars. thanks for making this game!

Hey I love the game and I enjoy playing it all the time but I wanted to give some suggestions for the next update that’ll make the game seem even more like real life boxing, 1. I think you should add multiple belts in each division, it’ll make the gm mode 10 time more fun cause then there will be unification fights to set up!!!. 2. When cpu makes fighters u should make sure the all have records and good stats all ready so we don’t have to scroll past all the fighters just to edit the stats you know. Last but not least in gm mode u should add a search bar so it’ll be easier to find fighters if u need to edit them and make changes. But over all I love to game it keeps getting better and better thank you for this masterpiece

First off this game is phenomenal,graphics amazing,leaderboard system amazing,animations,amazing and yes improvements are always something to do but I would like it if their was an online mode to compete with your friends and other players around the world,as well as more rpg elements like newer styles to learn like Muhammad Ali’s dance or mike tysons Dempsey roll and certain styles have certain skills that come along with it and certain moves and techniques,higher stats,more moves,more techniques,and well more customization for fighters and well the ability to make your stats a have a different cap with something called “limit breaker” and trainings to affect things other than just speed or strength like footwork or defense but other than those things the game is amazing can’t wait for number 3

I love the game, I’ve put many hours into it, but after uncounted consecutive time’s having my character get knocked out(after dropping my opponent upwards of 3-6 times throughout the 10 rounds) I got tired of it. As far as I can tell, the player never gets up, ever. Despite having the ‘chin’ upgraded to the max, being in the same weight range, damage etc. I just don’t understand why the game would be programmed to not let the player EVER get up after being knocked down. Especially after dropping the opponent time and time again leading up to getting K.O’d myself by shear will of programming.
I love the game, but I am currently uninstalling it, the fact that you cannot get back up after being knocked down is almost game breaking given that the A.I. doesn’t have to play by the same rules.

I have had this game for at least a good year and it’s a fun addictive game and it really brings the experience of you playing an old arcade game. The gameplay and mechanics and customization is on point. The only problem that I have is that it’s not really that hard of a game. Like I sucked at first but once I learned how to play and how to make a undefeated fighter then it was pretty easy and I always play on hard mode to make it more “harder of a game” and yet I don’t feel a real challenge. Here is what I recommend to the developers. Make a impossible mode and make the game a challenge and I would recommend a professional mode for people who want to have an experience that they are fighting the best fighters in the world. Besides all that it’s a really good game in my opinion and definitely deserves the 5 stars.

I was wondering around playstore to see what good games I could grind out on and saw prizefighter, didn’t think much of it until I started playing, yes it was hard due to how to hold the controls and everything but I figured it out and adapted to it, found out what main control I actually do need to press and how this game works, the dodging isn’t hard, just gotta know when they’re coming, once you got that down, then you could start winning and start playing better. I been playing for only 3 days and I’m doing really good, started my guy out at age 18 and lost 2 fights in my first 8 fights but got use to it and now I’m undefeated (28-2) now I’m age 24. Hold all titles and got my guy maxed out. It’s a really fun game and can’t wait to see what happens when I get past my prime, might keep going till age 100 or retire. Don’t listen to the comment that say, I can’t dodge, it’s too hard, it’s confusing. It’s not, it’s really easy.

Huge improvements from the first game, it’s not everything I wanted but it’s genuinely more than I expected from a mobile game sequel. An evolved punch out inspired fighter with created characters, a career mode, a promoter mode, spectating and plenty more. It’s great fun, and I can’t wait to see what improvements are to come in the future. You guys are certainly going in the right direction with the freedom of movement and character creation. The more player freedom the better, would love to see a way to change our base stance (not the animations of the punches themselves) just to give characters an even more unique appearance.

Would recommend to any avid boxing fans who want a bit more freedom than real boxing 2, and boxing stars can provide. (I bought the premium upgrade in a heart beat.)
