Boxing Star, the popular sports arcade game from ThumbAge, has just rolled out an exciting new update that's sure to pack a punch. If you're a fan of the game, you're in for a treat with the addition of two new MegaPunches, special moves designed to help you flatten your opponents with style. Alongside these powerful new moves, the update also introduces new gym training equipment to help you upgrade your character between bouts.
While some purists might argue that the game strays from a realistic simulation of boxing, the undeniable charm of Boxing Star lies in its blend of fun and gamification. The game's mix of exaggerated expressions and intense action is what makes it stand out. And now, with the introduction of two new MegaPunches, you can add even more flair to your fights.
MegaPunches are essentially super moves, similar to Critical Arts in Street Fighter. Once you've filled your Hyper Gauge, you can unleash these devastating blows to take down your opponents. The two new additions bring an animalistic edge to your arsenal. Flame Bone, inspired by the mythical dragon, engulfs your attack in fire, dealing damage based on critical hits. On the other hand, Frost Fang infuses your punch with ice, freezing opponents in place and dealing damage while the icy barrier is active.
It's not just about the new MegaPunches, though. Boxing Star's latest update also includes new gym equipment to enhance your training sessions. The Deadlift machine boosts your skill damage stats and can be upgraded up to level 8, while the Training Timer shortens the time needed to train your skills.
While Boxing Star may not offer a realistic simulation of boxing (unless you're imagining a match between Superman and the Hulk), it certainly doesn't skimp on the flashy, engaging content that keeps players coming back for more.
