Big Shot Boxing Wiki

So 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.

I 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!

I 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.

I have had this installed since day one. Beaten it on every mode with pretty much all the characters etc. It’s just a fantastic game. So many subtle nuances that you don’t see at first. The way the punches inch you forward and the blocking backs you up makes for some really nice counter punches. Great game thats simple, and effective. Love it Edit: I still love it. Been installed since day one. I’m still hoping for new updates! Tyson fury and Deontay Wilder, at least! Edit: Still installed. Still one of the best iOS games of all time. I love the games made by this dev. I have downloaded and deleted countless games on the app store and this one still remains in my library. Really hoping and still have my fingers crossed for a big update to this game. Especially with all the boxing shenanigans going on these days!! Would love to see some of that sprinkled into this game! Thank you so much Colin Lane games for helping me get through some down time and also getting me through some rough times these days. Big shot boxing ftw. If online ever gets added you best bet you will see me up there knocking heads around.

This 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 is the funnest mobile game I’ve played in a long time. I love the updates you’ve made to it since it’s release. The customization options, difficulty options, and the addition of more characters. I also love how as you progress through your career, new, harder fighters come to challenge you. I implore you not to abandon this game! It would be amazing if you continued updating. I can see this game being fully fleshed out with multiple events happening during career, rivalries, and characters moving up and down the rankings as you fight, etc. New characters/challengers appearing as time passes during your career, more customization options, I can see this game being absolutely amazing. More so than it already is. Thanks for creating this awesome game.

I’ve played the game for awhile now and like it’s a amazing game I believe the controls r good and the game itself is fantastic, but Ik you as one of those game developers that make small games that r fun nothing over the top. This game is different I beat the game already and well I don’t understand the point of defending ur title I believe you should add more characters even maybe expand on career so u can make your own character and maybe include differnt outfits and titles and even more upgrades, this game has a lot of potential and I see u reach most of it I’m jut saying what I would like Bc when o beat the game I wanted there to be more to it even tho it was amazing i just wish for like a expansion or somthing I hope to get a response if possible thanks keep up the Amazing games

This is a wonderful game. I’ve played a lot of boxing games and this has kept my interest for days. There are a lot of possible improvements that would make this game amazing. I would love to see a punch stat, also I think the jabs and boxing should count more toward scoring. One big improvement would be energy use, right now you can throw as many punches as you want and have the same energy. It would also be great to play against other players if possible. I would also like to see improvement in the scoring, right now you could have an amazing round and get knocked down once and it be a 10/8 round. Overall this has had me playing for hours and I get bored easily, I highly recommend it.

One of the best games I have played in a while. I was looking for a sports game and this popped up. I wasn’t expecting much but I fell in love with the game. A few thing I think would make the game even greater are add tournaments and special events to make the career more interesting. Also you can add different divisions like a lightweight and heavyweight each with different play styles. For example the light weight players are really quick but the heavyweight division is full of power. I also think it would be cool if you could add a little bit more to the story like in between games. That is just my thoughts but it is a fantastic game. Thanks devs

At first it look kinda cheap or like it might not be fun. It’s super dope! There’s a lot of things to do like completing achievements and unlocking different characters. The gameplay is super fun and works well. The AI is good, you may demolish a fighter one fight and then in the rematch get worked. It’s inconsistent in a great way. I’ve had Rocky like matches where I’m getting pummeled the whole fight and then the last round something amazing happens and I knock the opponent down time after time. Overall. Really great game, no micro transactions (wouldn’t need them) forced ads are very minimal, but do offer you an ad to watch for a reward. I would highly recommend this game.

I like the simple controls. I don't think a joystick or more buttons would improve the game at all. I do think making the buttons a little larger or a little farther from the edge of the screen would be nice. I have big fingers so occasionally I miss the button because my phone case keeps me from hitting the small buttons. (For the record, my phone case is pretty slim) I also think that some scouting reports would be a nice addition. It would provide some details about the fighters as well as give the game more depth. I do think Ray Roberts Jr. may be a little OP. Fighting him is really, really difficult on Pro. I often have to rely on some lucky hits to knock him out if I hope to win. I am all for a challenge but he seems quite unfair on Pro difficulty. Overall, this is a good game with some quirks that can be frustrating. It doesn't need a lot of work but a little would go a long way. Cheers.

Very fun game for awhile. The aspect of choosing other fighters and starting with them instead is fun. The game is sometimes purely luck and not skill which is the only thing I have in disagreement with the developer as in having a maxed out stats character going against another opponent who could also be maxed out but you wouldn’t know and even though you knocked him out many times without him getting KOed he can get you once and the game will make it physically impossible to tap fast enough to recover. Just seems unfair as of unless the boxers had different max stats which they don’t and the opponent could have more health and hurt you more with you being maxed out. Other then that fun game could play some more but had my fun while it lasted!

This game has a relatively simple story/goal (win and keep winning until you’re the champ and then defend your title), but the fights themselves have great depth in them. Button mashing doesn’t really work, and despite the simple controls, you can’t keep one set strategy for fighting. Different boxers require different strategies, which I love. For example, Gerald Steele is best fought through dodging upper counts and countering with your own. But if you’re shading Roberts Jr., that won’t work as well. Also the elite level is a great and tough addition, and the new characters make it more fun. A more dynamic storyline would make it 5 stars, but it’s pretty great as is, and the fighting mechanics are perfect.

I’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.
