Real Boxing is a boxing simulation game powered by the Unreal Engine. It features real-time commentary and a dynamic crowd, as well as slow motion replays.
General Gameplay
The controls in Real Boxing can be tailored to the device it's on. Tablets utilize the touch screen and can also accommodate separate controllers for button use. The Vita version can be utilized in either way.
To execute left and right punches, players tap or slide on the appropriate side of the screen (or buttons/second analogue stick on the Vita/controllers). Performing a Perfect Dodge followed by an immediate attack makes your counterattack three times stronger. Performing combinations of jabs, hooks, uppercuts and counterattacks is the key to victory.
Press and hold the block button to block punches. If an opponent lands three hits in a row it will break your block. When your character is knocked down you must tap as quickly as possible to get back up.
A mobile device's camera can also be utilized by tracking your left and right hand motions for punches, holding still to block and moving to dodge.
Health and Stamina
Characters have health and stamina meters. The yellow stamina bar shows the power of your hits and charges up between punches, with your punches becoming weaker when your stamina is lower. Performing a Perfect Dodge gives you a stamina boost.
The red energy bar is the player's life. When your character's health is low, you can tap the clinch button to begin a minigame. A clinch will be triggered automatically when your health is low. Winning the minigame can avoid a KO and regenerate health.
Modes
Real Boxing consists of several different modes: Quick Fight, Career, Gym and Multiplayer. Matches can be made to last 3, 6 or 12 rounds and the round length can last 1, 2 or 3 minutes long. Players can fight a variety of opponents in up to six arenas.
Minigames
The Gym is where you can train by playing minigames, such as punching bags (both heavy bag and speed bag) and jumping rope. Training will boost your fighter's key stats. Performing the proper actions during training will improve strength, stamina and speed. Completing each exercise three times makes your fighter a master of each discipline.
Career Mode
Your fighter can go from amateur to pro in career mode. There are over 30 fights in 6 arenas and over 20 opponents to challenge in three big tournaments in order to win the three belt titles: Bronze, Silver and Gold. You can also bet virtual currency on your next victory and even buy a lottery ticket to win a temporary stat boost.
Players can customize their fighter's look with unique tattoos and hair, including mustaches and beards. Their shorts, gloves and shoes can also be changed, and the boxer can even be given their own unique name.
Multiplayer
In multiplayer mode, you can challenge opponents online. Players can auto-match to play immediately against available opponents or invite friends. You can check leaderboards and view multiplayer stats, as well as bet on your fights. Multiplayer is a great way to earn coins, which can be used to purchase items and upgrades. There are also ways to earn free coins, such as liking on Facebook, following on Twitter and subscribing on Youtube.
