Ask us to name the greatest iOS brawlers, and Rocketcat Games' Punch Quest would undoubtedly make the list. A 2D side-scrolling runner, this intense arcade style beat-em-up pits you against a never-ending stream of bad guys, where rapid punches and super moves are all that stand between victory and the grave. With this in mind, it's easy to get overwhelmed by all those skeletons, ogres and killer bees, which is why we prepared this Punch Quest cheats and tips guide to keep you in the fight.

It's OK To Avoid Enemies

Turns out, you don't have to square off against every baddie you come across. If you're low on health or think you'll be unable to block an attack, tap the uppercut button on the left to jump over a monster, leaving it behind. Better to be alive than dead, we say.

Choose The Screen Orientation Best For You

The developers behind Punch Quest let you play holding the device horizontally or vertically. Both screen orientations work just fine, but you may prefer one to the other.

Block Whenever Possible

First, you'll need to purchase the blocking ability from the Upgrades list, and we strongly suggest doing this ASAP. Once you do, simply press both sides of the screen to protect the hero from danger. With this in mind, don't get so punch drunk that you forget to block, or you'll die in a hurry.

Unlock Power I and Power II Skills

The longer you play Punch Quest, the more coins you'll acquire. Don't sit on this loot. Instead, pess the Loot button from the main menu, then purchase Power I and Power II skills to imbue the protagonist with special perks. The more you buy, the more you'll unlock. Here's a small list of skills you'll come across.

Flyin' Fist: Straight punches or jabs make you fall slower, keeping you in air longer.

Ki Blast: Blocking projects a circle of energy from you, reflecting projectiles.

Hungry Man: All unlocked food upgrades have a higher than normal chance to spawn.

Big Dash: Dashing punches are way faster than normal. Use with caution, or else!

Power Slam: Flying slam punches do more damage, thunk enemies hard into shockwave.

Unleash Super Moves

Don't forget about Super Moves, which you can access from the Loot screen. Although these powerful maneuvers cost a sizable number of coins, enemies will never see them coming. Moves include..

Deadsplosion: Defeated enemies explode after coming to a rest, damaging other foes.

Exploding Fist: Every solid, non-jab punch you do explodes.

Shodukin': Non-jab punches call upon the Punch Ancestors for a powerful ranged attack!

Knuckle Circle: Giant stone fists circle you, pummeling things while you pummel things!

Punch Torches

As you run, you'll notice multi-colored torches. Don't leave them alone, as punching torches transforms these objects into projectiles that damage opponents, in addition to offering coins for your trouble.

Punch Treasure Chests

This should go without saying, but if you see a treasure chest, run up to it and mash the punch button to reap the rewards. The same goes for vases and piles of skulls.

Watch Out For Spikes And Flames

There's more to worry about than skeletons and ogres. During your travels, keep an eye out for different hazards that'll impede your progress. In particular, spiked floors/walls and flames.

Buy More Punchos

If you need more coins (AKA Punchos) in a hurry, an in-app purchase is just what the game doctor ordered.

20,000 Punchos: $1.99
60,000 Punchos: $4.99
150,000 Punchos: $9.99
450,000 Punchos: $19.99

Tips From Rocketcat..

-Punch an egg, causing you to explode into bones, while the egg explodes, revealing you inside the egg, but you're now riding a velociraptor that shoots lasers out of its mouth.

-Eat mutagenic food, causing terrifying hallucinations.

-Juggle enemies with launching uppercuts and fast jabs, to keep up massive combo streaks.

-Slam an enemy into the dungeon floor so hard that it causes a shockwave.

-Punch a treasure chest so high into the air it crashes into a bat, both killing the bat and spilling coins everywhere.

-Turn into a gnome. Get stung by bees. Explode.

-Customize your characters with abilities and devastating Supermoves, and also their appearance in multiple different ways.

Punch Quest is an endless runner/beat-em-up game for iOS and Android developed by Canadian studio Madgarden and published by Rocketcat Games (iOS) and Noodlecake Studios (Android).

Gameplay[edit]

The game is an endless runner, with the goal of punching through as many monsters as possible, collecting punchos (the game's currency) along the way. The character is controlled by tapping either side of the screen. Hitting the left side of the screen uppercuts and slams opponents downward, while hitting the right performs a forward-dashing jab. As the game progresses, the player builds a meter of three special attacks, purchasable with the punchos you earn each level. Each special attack is unique, and can be swapped out for others in the customization menu along with other outfit customization options, which are also purchasable.^[3]

Critical reception[edit]

The game has a rating of 93/100 on Metacritic, based on 16 critic ratings.^[1]

TouchArcade wrote 'What I will say, is that you need to download this game now. Punch Quest needs to be on every iOS device you own. It's totally free, the only way the IAP could be less obtrusive is if they removed it entirely, and you'll fall in love with the game inside of the first minute of play. What's not to like about that?'^[4]AppAdvice said 'I've been quite addicted to Punch Quest, because it's insanely fun and challenging. I mean, what is better than punching everything in the face, Chuck Norris style? Nothing, that's what.'^[5]AppSmile said 'The fantastic action, collectible skills and upgrades, loads of quests, customization options, and ridiculously fun scenarios make this a must-have offering.'^[6]Gamezebo wrote 'Punch Quest is what an endless runner would look like if you threw it into a time machine, spat it out in the early 1990s, and put it on an SNES cartridge. This goes well beyond the (masterful) 16-bit graphics to the ethos of the game itself.'^[7]AppSpy said 'Punch Quest isn't the 'hardcore' game people have been itching for on the iOS platform, but it's the perfect blend of action-brawling and casual 'endless' gameplay all mixed up with a larger-than-life style that's hard not to enjoy.'^[8]Slide To Play wrote 'Whether you prefer old-school platformers or the new genre of auto-running games, Punch Quest is a magical, endlessly fun combination of the two.'^[9]148Apps said 'Everything about it has come together in a way that is absolutely flawless. This is an absolute must-have. There is no reason not to download it whatsoever.'^[10]

IGN wrote 'There might not be a better deal on iOS this year. Punch Quest delivers a wallop, all for free. It delivers a 1-2 combination of exceptional endless-running action and the sheer quantity of depth and additional content. It's a knockout.'^[11]Hyper Magazine described it as 'Certainly the best kind of F2P game.'^[1]Multiplayer.it said 'That Punch Quest is free or not doesn't really matter: Rocketcat's last game is without any doubt one of the most polished, frantic and enjoyable running game on the App Store.'^[12]Gamereactor Sweden said 'It's actually hard to find a better game deal on Ios or Google Play right now.'^[13]Modojo wrote 'It's rare to see something this good for free, and with that being said, dismissing this game would be ill advised.'^[14]Pocket Gamer UK said 'Punch Quest is funny, addictive, and just plain fun. Turns out that the auto-runner and beat-'em-up genres were a match made in heaven.'^[15]Digital Spy said 'Punch Quest is a wonderful fast action romp for iOS that will keep drawing players in for a long time to come.'^[16]Edge Magazine wrote 'Punch Quest isn't just good for a free-to-play game. It's good, full stop, infused with humour, depth and the most charming violence imaginable. Unless you're a skeleton knight, in which case the violence is offensive, troubling and needlessly graphic.'^[17]Destructoid said 'At the end of the day, I wasn't enamored by Punch Quest, but I enjoyed my time with it, and it has enough content to keep you going for a while. If you like endless runners and punching things, odds are you'll enjoy RocketCat's latest effort. If not, I doubt it'll make any convincing arguments to convert you.'^[18]
