★★★★★ Has a lot of potential
Fri May 24 2019 kefkwfjwfjwfI love the game it’s super addictive and fun I like the way how it’s retro and has an arcade type of style and I have a 4 star because the amount of things you can do is very simple and also I would love it if you guys probably added a storyline i hated this game a few months ago because of how simple and repetitive it was but now after the updates I think a lot has improved and you can improve a lot more there should be more ways to earn money and different venues, you guys don’t have your game in ads on social media which is a reason it isn’t as well known and your game doesn’t push ads all the time like the game BitLife does (because of that it has mixed reviews) and sometimes when there are forced ads you can skip the idea of getting in game currency for watching ads helps both of us and is a good decision there are a few typos I noticed and also some glitches I also noticed the new characters look like Pretty Ricky Conlan, Apollo Creed, Adonis Creed, Rocky Balboa (I think), Mayweather (maybe), Mike Tyson and Connor McGregor which kinda made me chuckle when I noticed currently it’s pretty linear and there’s not a lot to do but there’s always room for improvement, this game will go down as one of the best in the hall of fame if the fans get what they want!
★★★★★ It’s okay...updated; it’s quite good
Thu Aug 23 2018 XxtaintxXSo I wrote a review when this game first came out and I was pretty sour about the game and really did not talk about the positives. After a few updates and more playing time, I must say this is a very good boxing game. And it’s even more amazing that it’s free and contains very minor advertising. It is rare nowadays to find a developer who truly cares about the audience they are trying to reach instead of the money they are trying to make. And you can tell by they gameplay and design that the developer was not worried about lining his pockets. He was more interested in making a very good game. The controls are quite simple. The gameplay is self explanatory. The addition of fighter bios are great and they almost give you a scouting report of your opponent. The upgrading system is simple yet satisfying. The “randomizer” seems to be a little more balanced now to me (I may have just gotten better lol). The game is slightly realistic. For example, You can’t fight until your 90 years old. Heck, it’s hard to fight at 40 in this game. A few things I would like to see are, a few more boxers obviously and maybe some venue changes. Other than that, if you are looking for a great game at a free price, look no further. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more updates.
★★★★★ Really fun arcade style
Sat Dec 16 2017 Pr0t0zer0I wasn’t even looking for a boxing game, I just downloaded this one on a whim. Really fun. They really captured something interesting in “gamifying” boxing. It’s not Punch-Out, in that it’s not just a game about hitting the other guy until his meter runs out. There’s a lot going on under the hood, hidden from the player. The punches that will stun you, the strength of your opponent in taking your punches, rhythm, random chance; all of these things must be calculated when stepping into the ring. You can’t just mash punch and win through sheer force, you really have to box. That’s interesting to consider with how simple the game and its controls are. Jabs don’t do damage, they help measure out distance and push your opponent into a corner. Blocking takes a step back, like a dodge, but takes you out of range, unless the opponent takes a wild shot, in which case you can counter with a devastating uppercut. Like I said, it’s all about timing and rhythm. Knocking a guy out doesn’t just mean emptying his health bar, it means hitting the opponent when he’s open, but at the same time managing not to take too many hits yourself. Heck, even matches that end up in a decision are fun to win, as you spend each rounds recovery considering how ahead or behind you are.
Entertaining, stimulating, challenging!
★★★★★ Truly amazing game
Tue Dec 04 2018 Greasy reviews 2341I rarely ever write reviews about games but this is absolutely amazing. You can tell the developer has his heart in the project. Each punch you throw feels like it matters and each boxer feels unique. I never think about my “style” much in games but this one made me take into account how I prefer to fight and to match my boxers stats with it and focus on upgrading what will benefit how I box the most. I’m a fast starter and hit hard and fast out of the gate but I had to realize I fall behind in later rounds when my health gets too low so I had to work my stats around my weakness by upping my power and my health so I can land a round 1 knockout, and it’s always a nice surprise to fight a boxer who is the counter to your usual tactic. Solving these little puzzles is satisfying in itself. Having to play more defensively to beat a harder hitting boxer, or having to avoid an opponents uppercuts or pushing hard so they can’t back you into a corner. And it isn’t just a stat fight, somebody with baseline stats can take the champion title with a little skill and perseverance. The controls are extremely simple yet require a great deal of on your feet thinking without flashy stuff. And having bios of your opponents is a genius idea. I commend you for making such a stellar game.
★★★★★ Very fun, needs polishing
Tue Feb 27 2024 Dddddddd1028!I have been playing this game for weeks, and have enjoyed it greatly! There are many characters to choose from, allowing for a different feel each new game started. The controls allow for an easy to learn game with their simplicity, but are not too simple to make the game boring. There are however a few things that should be changed to make the game perfect. For starters, the text often is not fully inside the text boxes, making long texts harder to read, and when concerning the hall of fame, the text sometimes is not even on the screen. The second thing that could use some work is opponent diversity. In almost every game you start, once you are champion there really isn’t enough different opponents to face. In every game it seems to be a mixture of around 6 of the same people you fight. While the players character selection may be diverse, the opponent selection is not. Regardless, Big Shot Boxing is a pretty fun game, with a cool retro undertone.
★★★★★ Never thought a game could be this good.
Sun Jun 15 2025 Abnormal giantI love this game, i tried getting my little brother on the game but i dont think his mental capabilities can help him here, this game is not easy, and its not hard once you understand how this game works, you can punch and get hit or you can box and destroy your opponent’s rhythm, this game is realistic, ive implemented several combos from the hame into my boxing skills, although you can only uppercut jab and cross, you can do many things aswell like throw combinations and be evasive, super fun game on my free time and even helps me fall asleep at night at times, i could stay up playing this game everyday, it engages my brain in a way no other game has. I just hope theres still future incoming boxers that we need to fight to unlock, or even ne, havent seen any updates in a while but i know this game is pretty much already set the way it is!
★★★★★ One of the best boxing games on mobile devices (imo)
Fri Dec 22 2017 Miles_8866This game is amazing. You’ve got a career mode, there’s also even a quick fight mode, you can even pick your very own boxer in career mode. Here’s some suggestions though. You guys definitely nailed the realism in this game with the damage system and the physics-based sweat and blood spray, same for the knockouts being physics-based. But here’s a suggestion for the knockdowns and knockouts. You guys should make it where the characters also fall forward when knocked down depending on the correct angle of where the boxer is moving, and depending on how the knockout punch lands. This may be difficult to implement in this game, but that’s fine I totally understand that. I kinda just want it to be as realistic as possible. One more suggestion, you guys should also try adding more customization to the characters. That’s all I have to point out, awesome game devs 👍 😀.
★★★★★ This game is horrible
Mon Dec 11 2017 Heath TAITEI’ve been playing games on my phone for as long as I can remember, and I’ve only written about 2 reviews, I write reviews for games I either hate, or love in this case, I hate. The game itself is a great idea and I believe it can go far, if it is improved...a lot... like, ALOT. You start out the game, with little to no instructions which frustrates me. In matches there is literally 4 options, block, jab, uppercut, or hook. Their should be dodging, and there needs to be a joystick that lets the player move. Right now I have 6 wins and 2 losses so you can’t count me as some salty critic that lost 16 rounds in a row and decided to go ham on the review. About every good punch that hits you, stuns you, and ends up knocking you out, (the blocking does nothing). I saved the best for last because this is what frustrates me the most. You can’t train your character. The only thing you can do is buy better characteristics which is what EA did with battlefront 2 and look how that turned out. Improve the game, make some sort of training system that takes time but is still free, and for God’s sake make a tutorial.
