Punch Hero

109 votes

Despite it being the most standard and expected way of attacking, you can't deny the power and feeling of a good punch which is what Punch Hero is trying to cultivate. You seem to have arrived in some kind of fantasy realm completely unarmed… save for your fists. So, you decide to hone them so that you can break through the literal barriers in your way. With enough time and training, nothing will be able to hold you back and no wall will pose a challenge. Just like a shell with a pearl, behind all these walls may be the treasure you've been searching for all this time via a life of punching.

About Punch Hero

Most of the time you don't want to be caught unarmed in games, but under the right circumstances, punching can be very effective. This game doesn't give you a choice so you'll get to be very familiar with punching. Your character is all prepped and learned in the world of punching but sticks to standard practices. They can still improve their strength and that will make their traditional technique more and more devastating. It's all about how much time you're willing to spend in punching, training, and collecting. If you don't do it, someone else might beat you to the punch.

The goal is to punch your way through the different zones collecting treasure and becoming stronger along the way. There are no opponents or enemies that try and fight against you or end your run. There are just walls that need to be broken and a hub area where you can get treasures and train.

When you start, you'll spawn into the first zone. There will be a line of walls that you'll need to break through and nearby will be punching bags. Opposite the walls will be chests that require keys to open as well as a gate to the next zone along the wall that also requires keys to open. You can train by constantly punching the punching bags to raise your power as shown at the top of the screen. When you feel strong enough, you can start punching through the line of walls with their HP displayed prominently on their surface. Your punch strength translates to how much damage you'll do to the wall with each punch. When the Wall HP reaches zero, it'll break and you can take on the next wall. If you punch through all the walls, you'll be able to collect the keys at the end. After that, the walls and keys will reset.

When you have enough keys, you can use them to unlock the nearby chests to get rewards like Dragons which can improve your punching strength. You can also use the keys to unlock the gate to the next zone where the walls will be stronger and the training will be more effective.

Tips and Tricks

This may be an io game, but it also has the elements of an idle game. As long as you have a stable internet connection, you can leave the game to auto-train or auto-break as much as you want. This will lead to you coming back to see that your strength has increased a lot or that you've gotten tons of keys.
