Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is the best! Ive played it for years now and its the best time killer and just such an easy game to get into! We love it so much.
Kills time and is just genuinely fun.
This used to be the gaming standard, no ads, no predatory tactics, just a game in which you can earn everything by spending time in game unlocking new things and experiencing with everything you buy. We will keep giving games like this our support. We hope the team behind this is still in business.
26 year old man had this game from phone to phone since we were 11 cool nostalgia.
There comes a time when an absolute treasure of a game is made and this game is a perfect display of that.
Childhood classic with endless fun.
This game is so good but when we got an in app purchase we were never givin our mystery hat.
One of our favorite games by far, but for some reason sometimes our data doesnt save. We will do quests and get new skills but when we log back in the skills we bought are gone and the quests we completed are not completed. Please fix this issue, thanks.
Ive had this game on our phone since it first came out and we dread the day that its no longer supported. Please, if anyones still watching these reviews, give us another update! Lets keep Punch Quest going.
We really love this game and will all ways love it.
Punch Quest is one of the best games on the Appstore, 13 years later. The action packed and nonstop fast paced gameplay is extremely fun and even addicting.
It's a crying shame this game is never going to get updated or touched ever again because it's simply one of the best mobile games to ever be released.
This game got us through an extended deployment out in the middle of no where. We were stoked to see that it existed on the Apple Store after it fell off android a few years back. We would love to see more content added to the game, along with the absurd humor and dad jokes that made the 2010s a great time for media and mobile gaming. Either way, kudos to the devs for a great game. For those wondering if a dead game is worth downloading, this is probably one of the very few titles you can find on the store that isnt a freemium cash grab, and gives you the mindless entertainment you crave with an actual sense of accomplishment when you knock a jawbone off a giant skull. Not the boss of us.
No dumb ad breaks, no sweaty competition, just a good, fast-paced arcade beat-em-up.
We dont know about yall but this is a CLASSIC, im here in 2024 still rockin this dope game and id love to see it still thrive.
True chads have Punch Quest. Simple controls on the surface but there is a lot to master with timing and and getting a huge combo One of our favorite games and one of the best on the App Store Hoping for a Punch Quest 2 Thank you Rocketcat/Madgarden for years of fun.
Punch Quest community stand Enough said.
The game is a little pricey at the end of the Power III skills, if they could be made cheaper the game would be perfect.
Our boyfriend showed us this game, and we love it so much.
We used to play this game on our moms old iPad and it was so fun now it is so cool to see it still running and it is crazy fun.
This is the best game ever. We used to play this when we were little and now Im in Highschool coming back to this game. Im glad this game never lost its touch.
Been playing this game since high school. Basic concept but theres lots of different stuff to unlock and its very entertaining 10/10.
Its a good way to pass the time when you have no Wi-Fi. The ads might be a problem for some people but theyre not the worst. Three seconds into the ad and they give you the option to close it, which is very generous. The gameplay is fun and satisfying, and we think this game is worth a try. However, we would like for it to be updated.
This game is amazing, we played it a long time ago but lost our progress. Fun gameplay, good rewards. Give it a shot and buy the ad free version to do so, or buy the no ads option or whatever bc ads interfere with your perception. This game is a 10/10 time killer and anxiety reducer. Have a good time.
This is a game that you can play two hours of and not get bored.
Ive been playing this game since 2018 and have found endless joy in grinding out the every ability and cosmetic. Our only issue is that we purchased an ultra hat after however long it took to get the 100k Punchos, then all of a sudden we log in one day, and its gone???? If theres any way you can help us Id appreciate it but otherwise its a great game. Would really like our hat back though.
Im really happy they still have this game we used to play it on our dads phone when we were younger and hes passed away and we could never find this game but it always made us think of him and im happy we found it.
This game slaps harder than will smith.
This would be a blast to add to the backbone systems and.
Please bring this game back to Android.
Been looking for this game for a hour remember playing as a kid and looking for a dragon slayer game but we dont think its on the app store anymore.
Love this game, used to play it all of the time. Unfortunately its outdated now and really needs an update.
This was one of our absolute favorite games back in middle school. Im so glad its still around and that we found it again. So many great memories and such a fun game.
Im amazed that this game is still in the App Store. We come back to it once in a while to play. Its always fun and simple and the little gnome is one of the best parts.
Fantastic endless runner with high skill gap but also very accessible.
We downloaded this game years ago and still play it in times of waiting or just chillin. Love all the items and skills you get for destroying everything.
This game is so fun. There are so many cool power ups and abilities. The custumablility of the costume is very unique too. We cant stop playing it. We hope they come out with an update.
Had hella fun playing this game back in the day. Just checked Game Center achievements from 2012. The aesthetic and cohesiveness is dope.
Been playing this game since we got an ad for it in 2011. Hands down one of the best apps on the AppStore.
6 years ago, we played this game every single day. We got a new phone and 6 years later . We tried finding this game and we found it! We are now happy that our childhood game is still with us. Thanks to the devs of this game that worked hard.
Great old skool feel, exactly how mobile games are supposed to be played.
This game will knock your pointy hat off.
We love this game we have been playing this game when we were 7 we love the games the ads are annoying but we get used to it. This is one of our favorite games when we dont have internet it keeps us entertained.
Offload and reinstall fixes problem on iOS 14.
What can we say. Its fun, easy, replayable, and we mean REPLAYABLE. This game was our childhood, and we love it now like we always have. It has some ads, but theyre spaced out enough to not ruin the experience.
Its a nice punching game and it keeps away time, but one thing is you need to allow us to get some free abilities like after watching and ads.
We havent played since this game came out but its still really fun mainly the graphics are still good.
Simple, fun, a little glitchy sometimes, worth it.
We just cant stop playing this game.
An endless runner thats actually worth your time. Also, probably the only free game of its class to have no ads. You wont get lost in endless circles of fairly quests/global challenges/waiting to open chests. Just you, your fists, and an endless stream of baddies to punch. Oh, and a few gnomes to diefy along the way.
