Is Victory Road worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who prefer managing a boxer’s career rather than controlling the fighter directly.
- Strategy-focused players who want to shape training, diet, styles, and fighting tactics.
- Boxing fans who want a career structure spanning 4 leagues and over 150 opponents.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking direct control of a boxer throughout each match may not prefer the coach-focused format.
- Those looking for a boxing game centered only on bouts may find the training, meals, and off-ring activities distracting.
- Players who want a small roster may not want a career involving over 150 different boxers.
Our take on Victory Road
The boxing premise may suggest a conventional fighter, but the player remains on the coaching side of each match. The career also includes commercial and labor activities such as gym advertising, hotdog sales, and mining, broadening the game beyond boxing preparation.
What is Victory Road?
Victory Road casts players as a boxing coach rather than the boxer.
Each day involves planning training and meals, adjusting routines to develop specific stats, and changing the boxer’s style, equipment, and special techniques. Matches run in real time through a fighting-game-inspired engine. During bouts, the coach can shout advice, pound on the mat, or give the boxer an extra boost. Coaching choices influence the development of fighting styles, combos, and techniques. A skill tree, combo system, and attack-familiarity system support different tactical builds. The game includes 4 leagues and over 150 boxers with different strategies and builds. Outside boxing, players can sell hotdogs, advertise their gym, or work in the mines.
