Raised By Screens, an indie powerhouse doubling as developer and publisher, has dropped Bare Knuckle Sandwich—a 2D action-adventure knockout fusing Punch-Out!!-style boxing with a raw coming-of-age tale of a young aimless loner. This self-published gem packs retro pixel-art charm into a scrappy single-player experience.
Slide into Gunner’s gloves as he brawls through an underground boxing ring, facing foes like a trash-talking bouncer, a goofy blue-nosed clown, or a sly pickpocket. The Punch-Out!!-inspired combat demands quick dodges and heavy hits, while side-scrolling exploration lets you roam a gritty city. Tackle mini-games like odd-job hustles, and customize Gunner’s look.
Beyond the ring, a mentor guides Gunner’s rocky path to adulthood, with hand-crafted dialogue and cutscenes blending comedy, drama, and heart. Musical artist Torture World’s moody soundtrack sets a complimentary tone for the gritty world via mature vibes—think mild violence, crude humor, and nods to drugs and illegal fights.
