Holy pay to win game
the game is actually very fun to play and entertaining but once you get to an especific level the game just turns pay to win and it doesn’t matter who you play against and if you are the same level , if the guy payed for gloves or and equipment you will have no opportunity against them
What is happening
I get a maintenance 2/24 message then my game starts over ! I’m not liking this bug… Will you guys please fix it ??? Overall I love the game though

game is trash
terrible game
Rigged Ai system
The Ai in event is extremely rigged and unfair, they’re able to heal up or max out hyper gauge when the next round starts, all yall doing is punishing the human player for playing good. This game Ai has always been rigged since day 1, they move way to fast, you literally have 0 reaction time, you constantly get stunned and punished for trying to play good and well and even the Mega abilities are unfair, some are literally unavoidable and impossible to dodge. Fix this ai bots in this game because it’s completely rigged and unfair, I don’t care if it’s a skill issue or not. Fix the ai bots make them fair and not punish the human player
Game
This game sucks mechanics at absolute trash these reviews are lies
Your game sucks
Your game probably making no sense because these bots were getting too much power but not me I’m the low power so they could beat me easily
Switching
My game player keep changing out on its own. And now I’m playing with someone else player. And they got mine. Also why is there sooo much background activity
Boxing star
This game is such a big pay to win. I suggest you find another game. Such a bad game. If i could give it a lower rating i would.
terrible cashgrab
can’t even progress without the opponent stunning me. My characters performance is way worse in an actual match
Greed
Game used to be amazing back in the day, devs RUINED it with their greed, to get ahead in this game you NEED to spend money and if you don’t you will have a very unenjoyable experience. I would not recommend this to anyone in its current state unless you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to win.
Glitches not giving rewards
Invited my friend to get the 500 gold and helped them get the rookie trophy and…nothing, just a waste of mine and my friends time.
I hate y’all
The reason why I hate y’all because when I dodge from Dennis with his big back self I always get hit like this game is cheating meeeeee!
This game is not worth it
I tried to complete this omega chapter and they expect me to be the flash or Jesus because that stuff is near impossible
pay to win game !!!>:/
this game make you buy every little thing separately the step pass you pay $15!!!! for one step and you have to pay $15!!!!! for every step!!! and that’s not only for that pass it’s for every single pass you buy and just to get some gloves and some scraps is $50 like hello?? this is a teen game make it that way teens not old enough to work can’t even play this because if you play anything your going to get beat up fast unless you pay to get more coin and gold to upgrade i’ve been playing for 3 years and it’s ridiculous how this game just doesn’t let you play unless you pay
The error that won’t let me play
The game is good, it’s a roller coaster of a game, you don’t need to speak anything with the game at all and can basic have a blast with nothing to worry about, so why am I giving it a one star.
It’s because I ran into a error that won’t let me into the game, as I have beaten the final boss of chapter with my ultimate all of the sudden it start to loop the victory animation, so naturally I see this and restart the game only to have it now not let me play. This is for the developers of this game as I can’t report this in the game itself and have to use this as a way to report this error

This game is trash
Worst game ever played
Why I hate this game so much
When I literally tried to punch someone and I and there’s something else and it’s so annoying it’s literally so annoying when I try doing it it’s like done and not do it. It’s so annoying.
Only three rounds
Can y’all change the rounds to make it up to 10? Why only three I can’t even get Sam’s health to reach halfway with just three rounds and even if you knock this dude around two times I don’t understand how he still wins. Can y’all please update this game?
FrustrAtion City
This games upgrade mechanic is confusing as hell!
Pay to win
I’ve played this game for a while and genuinely had a lot of fun a first time. I’ve reached a solid level through pure grinding, but that’s feels like that’s as far as you can go without spending money. The game quickly turns pay-to-win, and ranking up becomes nearly impossible unless you are willing to open your wallet.
I haven’t spent a single dollar, and I don’t want to compete in a game where progress depends more on the size of your back account than your skill and effort. I expected a boxing game where time, dedication, and grinding would make you stronger but instead it feels like a slap in the face to those players that love Boxing Stars and want to earn their progress the way you should.
Unfortunately, the monetization is way too aggressive, and it really shows that profit comes before their players.
No wonder Boxing Stars is very popular.
And until this is fixed or they create another games that is not pay to win I will not be playing any more.

Can Only Get So Far
Fun game, but there’s a lot of things they need to do away with. Your opponent shouldn’t be able to negate your skillset, especially when it takes forever to build the skillset. The “opponent speed down” and “opponent reflex down” need to removed. You get to higher levels, spend a ton of time building the fastest character you can, then all the skills are negated by many of the opponents. In other words my speed could be 99/100, but if my opponent has “opponent speed down” protective gear, it drops down to 60/100. It’s ridiculous and it’s frustrating. I will be taking a break for a while until they fix this.
NO HELP
This game is good but when something happens to your account and you actually go to the support for help it’s like they won’t help you at all all they did was send me to a link that doesn’t work properly
Stats don’t matter anymore
I really like the game, but recently I’ve noticed some players with really low stats, like 1/3 of mine are harder to beat than those with the same stats as mine. I’m at 715K and a boxer at 219K is faster than my boxer. Doesn’t make any sense.
