Bruisers 2D Boxing

Bruisers 2D Boxing

Bruisers is unlike any boxing game before it. Climb from amateur bouts to the top of the pros. Train, eat, fight, dope, and deal with anyone who wants a piece of you on the way up — but tread lightly. Some consequences here are fatal.

Don't let the pixel art fool you. The boxing is real — slip, counter, move your head, control distance, break your opponent down. Choose from three distinct fighter types — each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and style. Learn to use them or get exposed.

Build your fighter from scratch and take them as far as you can. Plan your meals, make weight, watch your vitals, hold down a job between fights. Stock your corner and work your way through the amateur, professional, and bareknuckle circuits.

Your boxer ages in real time. The years wear on you. So do the injuries — damage accumulates. A career full of hard fights will show. Every decision compounds. A bad camp, a missed weight cut, the wrong fight at the wrong time — it all matters and it all adds up. Rivalries develop along the way. Some of them get personal.

Outside the ring, the world has its own rules. Your career might not go where you expect — every playthrough tells a different story. Shady dealings, illegal gambling, a mob presence that lurks just below the surface. Need an edge? There are "options" if you know where to look.

Blood. Stoppages. Knockouts. Some referees stop the fight. Others don't. Backyard shows, dingy gyms, smoky clubs, and packed arenas. Every fight has a life of its own.

Need to settle a beef with a friend? Pull up a seat on the couch and jump into quick play with 100+ fighters inspired by real boxing history. Winner takes all.

Features:

- Realism based 2D Boxing – Jabs, straights, hooks, uppercuts and overhands. Choose your punch selection. Master timing, counters, slipping punches, head movement and parrying to edge the upper hand. Stances change to in-fighting if you get up close and personal with your opponent. Slick style, Bully style and Balanced style - 3 different boxing styles allow for different methods of boxing. Tie up your opponent and deliver punches in the clinch to wear them down, before the referee steps in.

- Career Mode with RPG Progression – Start from nothing and take on the amateurs to raise your skills against whoever is placed against you, become professional and climb the ranks by training, winning fights, and making tough choices.
