Boxing Star enters the match-3 arena with its new title, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3, now available on Android and iOS. This competitive puzzler pits players against each other in a unique twist on the genre. Instead of decorating gardens or renovating houses, players solve match-3 puzzles to rack up combos and high scores, directly impacting their in-game boxer's performance in a virtual brawl.
This departure from the typically gentler match-3 landscape offers a refreshing, high-octane alternative. The game cleverly inverts the usual match-3 formula, injecting the adrenaline-pumping action of boxing into the puzzle format.
However, while the concept is innovative, the execution might feel somewhat lacking. The game appears to utilize assets and animations from the original Boxing Star, resulting in a less polished feel compared to other dedicated match-3 titles. The match-3 gameplay itself also feels somewhat generic.
Despite these shortcomings, Boxing Star - PvP Match 3 provides a distinct and exciting experience. After experiencing the thrill of the virtual boxing match, consider exploring other top-tier puzzle games.
