Boxing Star: PvP Match 3 Debuts Worldwide on iOS & Android

Boxing Star - PvP Match 3: A Knockout or a Low Blow?

The popular sports sim, Boxing Star, enters the puzzle game arena with its latest title, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, now available on Android and iOS. This isn't your typical relaxing match-3 experience. Instead, players engage in head-to-head competition, battling it out through match-3 puzzle solving. Higher scores and combos translate directly into virtual punches landed on your opponent's face.

This competitive twist offers a unique take on the match-3 genre, a stark contrast to the often gentler themes found in other puzzle games like house renovation or garden decorating. Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 injects a level of intensity rarely seen in the genre.

While the concept is innovative and stands out from the crowd of more laid-back match-3 titles (think Candy Crush or Gossip Harbour), the execution feels somewhat lacking. The game appears to utilize assets and animations directly from the original Boxing Star, paired with fairly generic match-3 mechanics. This results in a less polished overall experience.

Despite its shortcomings, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 provides a different kind of match-3 challenge. After experiencing the thrill (or frustration) of its boxing-themed puzzles, consider exploring other top-tier puzzle games.
