Boxing Star - PvP Match 3: A Knockout or a Low Blow?
The popular sports sim, Boxing Star, enters the puzzle arena with its new title, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, now available on Android and iOS. This isn't your typical relaxing match-3 experience; instead, it throws players into a head-to-head battle of wits and quick fingers.
Players compete by solving match-3 puzzles, striving for high scores and impressive combos. These scores directly translate into the in-game avatars pummeling each other. It's a unique twist on the match-3 formula, a refreshing departure from the usual "friendly" themes like home renovation or garden design. This game definitely ups the ante in terms of theme and tone.
A Unique Approach, But Is It Polished?
The match-3 market often caters to a more casual audience with titles like Candy Crush. Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, however, aims for a more intense, action-packed experience. While the concept is commendable for its originality, the execution feels somewhat lacking. The game appears to utilize assets and animations from the original Boxing Star, paired with fairly standard match-3 mechanics.
Despite its imperfections, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 offers a different kind of puzzle challenge. After experiencing the thrill of the virtual boxing ring, consider exploring other puzzle games.
