About this game
The bureau of Federal Boxing Investigation welcomes you as our newest recruit! Truth be told, you've arrived just in time. The country faces a threat greater than any we've ever seen: karens.
Grocery store karens, gym karens, scam artist karens, heck, even sovereign citizens! Something has corrupted the once good people of this great country, and it's spreading fast. It's your job to find out what. Every second we stand here gawpin', we lose more ground. Another manager eats an uppercut. Another cat gets stolen. Another HOA fine gets assessed!
Now that all laws are enforced by boxing, we need you to get out into the field and track this menace down. You are authorized to serve swift justice with a license to punch. Fight your way across the nation and even the world if it means completing your mission. If you've played Punch-Out!!, it's kind of like that but in real life.
Knockout 2 pits you against the worst of society and the only way out is with your fists. The cable company stops giving you the discounted rate? That's a boxing match. Someone yields at an empty roundabout? That's a boxing match, too. In fact, all laws, court cases, and skimping out on sandwich toppings are resolved through combat in a world where the legal system has been replaced with boxing. The road to victory might not be easy, but it will be hilarious.
Enjoy the new generation of Knockout's unique take on the Punch-Out!! formula. Connect your punches to gain power! Use that power to throw devastating special moves. Land your special moves to completely regain your stamina. Keep up with this fun and frantic juggling act and your opponent won't stand a chance!
Each opponent is a puzzle to be picked apart. From door-to-door salesmen to bridezillas, learn each opponent’s fighting style and expertly clap back. Use perfect-blocking and counter punches to dominate each match like a symphony conductor.
Unlock new gear to customize your boxer and save the world! With each defeat, the dark karenic influence grows stronger. Equip new clothing and items to power up your punches, change your play style, and armor up against the legions of the empathy-impaired.
After enjoying the three part main campaign story, test your skills against special missions and daily challenges. Claim supremacy in timed trials for each character. And yes, flesh out the game's lore by completing achievements to fill in your investigation corkboard.
Classic arcade boxing action with tight timing and even tighter controls in the style of Punch-Out!!
A wild journey across the globe solving everyone's problems. With your fists.
A single-player story every bit as comedically scathing as the first game.
Fully customizable boxer with unlockable gear.
Extra challenges with Steam Achievements for each character.
Refined core game mechanics building upon the risk and reward boxing style of the first game.
Full keyboard and gamepad support.
Complete in-game tutorial to teach you the boxing basics.
Tentacles. Lots of tentacles.
At least one duck.
