Haymaker

Haymaker is an 80s boxing game that takes place in the blue-collar rustbelt town of Kint. You play as Jackie Elliot, a 21-year-old who's impressionable life is swaying between corruption and commitment; the path to becoming a great boxer, or the path of crime. Your choice, your story.

About the Game

At the core, Haymaker is a boxing game. Starting from a young kid in the city, to working his way to the top. However, we want there to be room to explore the city and for you to check out other activities in the game. Explore the town, talk to many people living around the city, take on tasks that people need help with, hang out with friends; but remember you need to practice your boxing skills, so managing your relationships can hurt you, should you ignore your training.



  • Train for your next fight in the gym to bring stats up. Failure to train can lead to lack of preparation for your next fight, so be careful!
    [*Deal with dirtbags and drunks that lurk around this magnificent city.
  • Head to the arcade to visit and play games with friends.
  • Collect cards or open packs from the local card shop to battle random people with CCG elements.
  • Head to different cities and even countries. A lot to explore filled with memorable environments.
  • Or hey, go with your buddies to the local pub and get drunk and play pool, or other bar games.
