Pros
Pro Full fledged game content
Unlike many mobile games that are light on options and content, Fist Puncher was created as a full fledged title that has 19 unlockable characters (each with their own moveset) as well as over 100 items that can be used in game. While the price may be high for a mobile game at $9.99, luckily it has the content on offer to back that up.
Pro Really good touch controls
For a game with fighting mechanics and many moves the touch screen controls actually work really well. Much as one would hold a controller the left hand controls movement including a jump and the right allows for punching, kicking, stomping and a combo of using both thumbs to do jumping attacks.
Pro Great sense of humor
A fist that talks, stripper bears, constantly breaking the fourth wall are all thing to be found in this game. There is an enjoyable sense of humor to be found that makes the game stand out from most beat em ups.
Cons
Con Can only be played with a controller
The game can only be controlled with a controller, there are no on screen controls. This really limits the amount of people that can actually play the game and requires that a controller is purchased or owned, which is limiting due to cost.
Con Combat feels too repetitive
Once one figures out the timing and best maneuvers the core of the fighting can feel repetitive and gets boring.
