What Makes Election Year Knockout: Boxing Stand Out
Create your own political party, lace up your boxing gloves, and punch your way to the White House in Election Year Knockout! In a country torn apart by its political divide, the nation has resorted to boxing to settle its differences. Fight your way through hilarious political opponents before squaring off with president Donald Thump himself!
Election Year Knockout is like a White House Correspondents dinner with boxing gloves, uppercuts, and haymakers! The game hits both sides of the aisle hard, picking on Democrats and Republicans. Unwind after voting in your local primary, caucus, or the general election and give your favorite (or least favorite) politician an uppercut to the face!
I was pleasantly surprised to find that Knockout looks to be a polished, suitably ridiculous arcade boxing game. – Pocket Gamer
Game Features
Beat them all and become president!
Fight political parody figures including Jab Bush, Uncle Joe, and Birdie Sanders. Maybe you even have what it takes to reach the White House and take on the leader of the nation, Donald Thump! Each opponent presents a unique challenge with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Absolutely hilarious
Hysterically funny cutscenes and political jokes are mixed in everywhere. You’ll never laugh harder at a boxing game!
Dozens of challenging bonus missions
The game doesn’t end after beating an opponent in the ring. Optional bonus missions will keep political pugilists interested for hours. Can you beat Jab Bush with a single punch or counter Donald Thump’s Stormy Smash with a haymaker three times in a single round?
Boost your way to the presidency
Politicians never fight fair, and neither should you! Unlock powerful boosts like Cup of Filibuster that will allow you to punch almost forever. The veto boost allows you to make one final stand, but be careful! You can only use it once per match.
Customize your fighter
Customize your fighter including the gender, hairstyle, skin tone, and hair color. There are even multiple patriotic styles of boxing attire to choose from with much more on the way soon!
Full controller support
Plug in a supported controller (including xBox One and PS4 controllers) for an even more authentic retro boxing game experience.

Community Insight:
What came first, the glove or the boxer.
More jab bush for the masses please.
So we like Punch-Out and this game is just like that. The controls are a bit weird but hey this is a amazing game.
One of our all time favorite games is Punch out Wii so when we saw this game we knew we had to get it and we do not regret it.
This game is honestly really cool and we really like the concept of boxing presidents! Maybe you could add some more in the future but thats yours to decide! This is a really great game.
If your looking similar Punch Out Game THIS IS THE ONE. Although you have to pay money for more fights its still worth it. Just have one question can you add achievements to the game please.
We rebought this game on our new IPhone. 100% worth the rebuy. To anyone who loved, liked, or even simply played the Punch-Out!! Games, this game takes heavy inspiration on those games and does an amazing job expanding on them. In EYKO, youll find strategy, youll find humor, and overall just very good game design. 5 stars.
Its awesome! The graphics are great, the button work, and the idea of this game is just awesome in general.
This. Game. Is. INCREDIBLE. It is everything we have wanted and more. We originally thought punch out could not be replicated onto mobile, but we were wrong. Many of the game mechanics that exist in punch out take their place in this game as well. The controls dont feel wonky at all and work smoothly. Theres actual strategy too, trying to find out the opponents weakness to land a devastating strike! Prizefighters wish it could hold a candle to what this game achieves. Even though it is politics, this is something we never realized we wanted until we played it.
This is so funny, and its also very fun to play! Ive been waiting for a new punch out game or punch out like game, and this is perfect.
Its amazing The president puns are fun and the gameplay is amazing. The difficulty curve of the bosses has a point in both the normal and presidential fights where the difficulty spikes but there many ways to help even things out if you want making it nice and fair. And oh our the final fight with Donald Thump is well worth the difficulty to get there it is in our opinion the best final boss fight in any punch out like game.
This game is SO good idk why, but it touches our soul we have had it for long but decided we wanted to re do . And omg it hit us hard and soft we also spent 5 dollars and would be very willing to give you guys all our money (if we had any money) But there is one problem, there is not a fanbase. We search on tiktok but all we see is maybe one video on it. This game deserves to be game of the century and im not glaze. We hope we can get VIP on our birthday so we can fight terbaru or that canada guy.
If youre familiar with Mike Tysons Punch Out or WII Punch Out, we definitely recommend playing this game because this is a somewhat similar experience to Punch Out. If you never played Punch Out! Or unable to, watch some gameplay vids on YT and then play this game yourself please. Give this game 5 stars and if you have a chance, leave a review. We highly recommend you play this!! #ElectionYearKnockout #Donald Trump #Boxing.
We wish we could find more games like this, but sadly companies keep thinking people dont play these types of games anymore. The reviews of this game says otherwise.
Omg this game is the best not only that is free and we are very wooing you for s just like the actual gameplay of the game is just the best.
We loved to punch out series and this clearly takes inspiration from it, it did everything punch out failed to do and built off of it. Controls are a bit close together though.
BEST GAME pls get you won't regret it its fun great graphics and in our opinion we want both DLC and fun challenging and awesome and the ads are not bad at all only one before and after each game. All we can really say before it sounds fake :/ we still LOVE this game and we hope you do too. And for the creators plz make maybe a Ukraine fight of something and we cant wait for warth of Karen.
The best game of all in our history we love the cartoonic cineme.
Its just punch out but US president.
So basically we love this game its like ww2 and punch out combined but it has like too many ads so Im giving it a 5.
The game is really fun with cool challenges and all, but there is one problem with the free version of the game that mostly involves the ads instead of the game itself. Sometimes after closing an ad, the sound would do a Wii crash and then all of the audio for the game would go mute. Shortly after this has happened, after you play the game a while, it just freezes and crashes. We would have to close the game and reopen it every time the audio cut off because of it. We dont mind the free version of the game having ads, but its this bug alone that makes the experience so much worse for us.
We like how this pokes fun at both sides we just this had more options for controls.
You need to make Election year knockout 2024.
This game is one of the top 3 best ones.
We usually limit ourselves screen-time. But when we turn our phone off Appearently it just keeps using it? Is this a bug with screen-time or your game.
This pirate guy is using a cannon and its three shot also another guy said yes we ate your son he was delicious.
The game constantly freeze every time a round ends.
Is great than we thought you can change characters.
This game changed our life. Our favorite part was when we got to beat up donald thump. Best game ever would play again on mobile and pc 10/10.
The is a good game and pretty good.
Honestly a pretty good game just dont like EX mike piouss healing ability, gets really annoying just when your about to too him but the challenges for each opponent are pretty nice, actually makes you play the game instead of ooo funny haymaker go br.
Make it paid offline game, a game like this remove adds remove in ap purchased remove community remove shop unlock all character please we like to play no lags thanks.
Its such a fun game it can be hard at the beginning but you will get it they should make a new one.
On God after you beat the last boss everything gets hard.
When we first played we felt like we already love this and its cause we like punch out wii also quick question will there be more characters in just wondering.
We had a wonderful time playing this game, though Id love to see a wrestling version if thats even possible, keep up the amazing work.
Love punchout so we love this game 10/10.
The game is great and all but we feel like its missing some stuff like.. Yall should add different modes like practice mode online mode. If yall do this we would never get of of the app.
Knockout is the most fun and most satisfying game we and yourself would ever play. U must play it now! Download it.
This game is so fun and so good and it is also so entertaining.
This game is really fun too play.When we were looking for a fighting game all the games looked boring but when we saw this game it look Ike it would fun now we cant stop playing.
This is a great game and they always do the ads at the right time so we dont get mad.
Its so unfair because they got powers and weapons and its too hard.
Need big and small guys street and pro.
We love this game is is so fun, but the only problem is that you can only play EX fights in classic and not in casual.
Listen you really got to make this easier because we rage so much we went into a breakdown because we couldnt defeat ex Donald Trump.
This is an extremely well done and thought out game, definitely recommend.
This Game Is The Perfect Punch Out Copy For Mobile. The Controls Are Good, The Opponents Are Challenging, It Feels AMAZING When You Get The 133%, And The Discord Community Is Great. We Gave The Idea For A Forum Channel If Anyone Wants To Ask About Challenges. Ads Are Annoying But The Cost To Remove Them Is Pretty Low. 10/10 Recommend. We Was Addicted Until we Got 133%.
We LOVE THIS GAME SOOOOO MUCH IT'S BETTER THAN MY VR RESELLING GAMES.
Ive beaten it like 3 times and its super fun, its also really fun to learn the strategies and try to beat everyone in round one, ten out of ten would recommend, but there is an annoying glitch where for some reason Ill block and it wont let us unblock until we get hit.
