In The Comeback King, you're the manager of a faded fighter battling to win his first championship title. You manage the money, the trainers, the gyms, the tactics - but you don't control your boxer. During a match, you can shout out instructions (and maybe he'll follow your advice) and between rounds you can towel him down and patch him up. Otherwise, you'll sit there on the edge of your seat, peering through your fingers as the drama unfolds before you. Did you choose the right opponent? Did training concentrate on the right areas? Should you have invested more time in tactical coaching? Did you bring enough bandages? Will your boxer be a Punchbag Pawn or... The Comeback King?! Features Retro pixel art style Fully animated boxing matches Tight game loop Entrance music (10 tracks of original 80s-flavoured bangers written especially for the game!) British humour Shouting from the sidelines Rampant 1980s inflation Bone-crunching injuries (but no blood/gore) Quick start guidance system Play with stats on or 'Keep It Real' for a prize money bonus
