I've just dropped a big update to the demo for The Comeback King. This is a significant version because it opens up the demo much more.

Changes in this release:

  • Removed all demo limitations apart from the 5 match limit! This means that gyms, all boxer characters and all entrance music tracks are now available in the demo!

  • Added rampant 1980s inflation.

  • Improved some screen designs.

  • Added Promotional Gifts.

  • Improved boxer behaviour in the ring.

  • Faffed about a lot with difficulty balancing (the hardest bit!).

  • Zapped a few bugs.

Let me know how you get on with it.

The Comeback King is a light-hearted, mildly satirical retro boxing management game set in the UK in the 1980s. Take on a has-been boxer and manage his career. Decide who he'll fight, train him up and send him into the ring! Can you guide your boxer to a title contest against the division Champion?

The next big milestone is the June Steam Next Fest... If you enjoy the demo and/or like the look of the game, please remember to wishlist it on Steam. Thanks!
