Boxing games have been with us throughout history practically since the beginning, when the consoles arrived at homes in the late 70s thanks to the mythical Atari 2600. So it is not a type of development that is completely to us. alien although it is true that in recent times it has not been lavished too much… until Undisputed has made an appearance to change absolutely everything.
Not an ounce of mercy
This game, which was launched on the last day of January for PC and consoles (PlayStation and Xbox), is a true hymn to the millions of fans that boxing has around the world and who in Spain have seen their parish grow thanks to events like those organized by Ibai through Twitch. Suddenly, loads of kids who haven’t seen an evening in their life have become fond of it, and games like this are going to allow them to experience all its complexity first-hand.
Because Undisputed is not an easy game. It is not a Frank Bruno’s Boxing , nor a Nintendo Punch-Out , but something that goes further and tries to become the definitive simulator where hitting the gamepad buttons does not guarantee that we will throw the opponent to the canvas. On the contrary, it will take knowledge and a lot of tactics to face a heavyweight that every time he hits shakes the foundations of the ring.
It is in this terrain of simulation that this Undisputed moves, which allows us to get into the skin of countless great stars of the boxing universe that belong to organizations such as the World Boxing Council or the BBC itself. So yes, you will be able to handle the gloves of such illustrious names as Tyson Fury, Canelo Álvarez, Katie Taylor or Deontay Wilder.
Be very careful not to waste energy in vain
As we tell you, the fights are not going to be a battle to see who hits the fastest by pressing the gamepad button, but we must take into account the characteristics of our boxer and apply them to the ring with a head. Thus, if we opt for a heavyweight, we know that our trump card is not mobility, but to endure, endure and endure attacks until we find a loophole through which to attack with everything. And vice versa, if we prefer to be like wasps that do not stop moving and make quick pecks, we cannot sit still waiting for them to hit us where it hurts the most.
Undisputed takes us to the world of boxing with a rarely seen realism, which also hopes to become the FIFA of the genre from now on and bring together more and more of the world boxing community, so for now it seems that it has achieved its first objective: to stand up in the market making clear what their intentions are. Now you just need to try it and tell us what you think because we already told you that it is a completely different experience from those you have had with games of the same genre in the past. Including the old EA Sports Fight Night .
