Bare Knuckle Sandwich is a 2D boxing game featuring side-scrolling storytelling and a character driven narrative. Follow Gunner as he joins an underground bare-knuckle boxing ring looking for something to strive for in a world full of con-artists, grifters, and people just trying to get by. After meeting a new mentor, Gunner begins to find his footing after a rough start to adulthood. However, it's a long way to the top and he'll have to overcome everyone standing in his way to succeed, especially himself.
Enter the ring and fight unique opponents, each with their own fight style and tricks up their sleeves. Fight your way up the ladder of victory and make a name for yourself amongst the best fighters the city has to offer. Master quick reactions, precise dodging, and devastating strikes to send your opponents reeling.
Experience Gunner’s personal journey of early adulthood through hand-crafted dialogue and cutscenes. Between fights, explore the city and mingle with the locals. Meet a variety of interesting people and help Gunner make a friend or two. His rise to the top will also attract brutal enemies.
Training to be the best bare-knuckle boxer around takes a lot of time, but it doesn't pay the bills. Perform a variety of side hustles to earn some extra cash.
Bare Knuckle Sandwich features music by the artist Torture World setting the atmosphere during exploration, fights, and cutscenes.
