Boxing Star - PvP Match 3: A Knockout or a Low Blow?
The popular sports sim, Boxing Star, enters the puzzle game arena with its new title, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, now available on Android and iOS. This isn't your average, relaxing match-3 experience. Instead, you'll battle other players in head-to-head match-3 showdowns, aiming for high scores and combos to deliver virtual punches to your opponent's face.
This competitive puzzle game offers a unique twist on the match-3 formula. Unlike the typical serene settings of many match-3 games (think house renovations or garden design), Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 brings a decidedly more intense, even "R-rated," atmosphere.
The match-3 market often caters to a casual audience with games like Candy Crush. Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, however, attempts to inject the thrill of boxing into the puzzle genre. 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 gameplay itself feels generic.
Despite its shortcomings, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 provides a different kind of match-3 experience. After your boxing-themed puzzle battles, consider exploring other top puzzle games. Check out our regularly updated list of the 25 best puzzle games for iOS and Android for more options!
