Apple Arcade review #15: Punch Planet

Punch Planet does not work on a touch screen. I mean, it does, but it doesn’t. Virtual buttons are not great when you’re playing a fighting game and need to focus on the action on-screen.

The second problem with Punch Planet is that when you do play it with a controller, it’s still a bit lacklustre. The art direction is neat, but the execution is lacking: the characters and backdrops feel, and the mechanics lack depth and variety.

The biggest problem with Punch Planet is that it’s not a great brawler. I am, admittedly, a bit crap at fighting games, but I often enjoy playing them. I didn’t enjoy playing Punch Planet, unfortunately.
