Establish your own political party, gear up with your boxing gloves, and fight your way to the White House in Election Year Knockout! In a nation divided by political lines, disputes are now settled through boxing. Take on a variety of amusing political opponents before facing off against President Donald Thump himself!

Election Year Knockout offers an experience akin to a White House Correspondents' dinner laden with boxing gloves, jabs, and powerful punches! The game humorously targets both Democrats and Republicans alike. Relax after engaging in your local primary, caucus, or general election by delivering a solid uppercut to your favorite (or least favorite) politician!

I was delightfully surprised by how polished and wonderfully absurd Knockout is as an arcade boxing game. - Pocket Gamer

Game Features

Defeat everyone and claim the presidency!

Face off against comedic caricatures like Jab Bush, Uncle Joe, and Birdie Sanders. Perhaps you have what it takes to battle your way to the White House and confront the nation's leader, Donald Thump! Every opponent poses their own distinct challenges with unique strengths and weaknesses.

Completely hilarious

Laugh-out-loud cutscenes and political gags are interspersed throughout the game, ensuring you'll find yourself in stitches while playing this boxing title!

An array of demanding bonus missions

The experience doesn't conclude once you've defeated an opponent in the ring. Optional bonus missions will keep competitive players entertained for numerous hours. Can you knock out Jab Bush with just one punch or counter Donald Thump’s Stormy Smash with a haymaker three times in a single round?

Power your ascent to the presidency

Politicians are known for playing dirty, so why should you hold back? Unlock potent boosts like the Cup of Filibuster that enables nearly endless punching power. Use the veto boost for a critical last stand, but use it wisely; it's limited to one use per match.

Personalize your fighter

Create and customize your fighter by choosing aspects such as gender, hairstyle, skin tone, and hair color. You'll also find various patriotic boxing outfit options, with even more styles coming soon!

Full controller compatibility

Connect a compatible controller (including Xbox One and PS4 controllers) for an enhanced nostalgic boxing game experience.

Review: Punching Your Way to the Oval Office Has Never Been This Cathartic

From the moment I customized my fighter in stars-and-stripes shorts and landed my first haymaker on "Jab Bush," I was hooked by Election Year Knockout’s genius blend of razor-sharp satire and legitimately great arcade boxing. The premise is bonkers—settle political debates in the ring against caricatures like "Uncle Joe" and "Birdie Sanders"—but it’s executed with surprising polish. What shines brightest is the laugh-out-loud absurdity: Thump’s "Stormy Smash" special move, cutscenes mocking debate tropes, and boost names like "Cup of Filibuster" had me grinning mid-combo. 

Beneath the humor lies surprisingly tactical boxing: each opponent demands distinct strategies (dodging Thump’s wild swings vs. countering Birdie’s stamina-draining rallies), while bonus missions (like one-punch KOs) add ruthless replay value. Unlocking game-breaking boosts feels deliciously chaotic, though the controller support (PS4/Xbox) elevates the precision. Whether you’re stress-relieving post-election or just craving a smart, silly brawler, this knockout delivers satire and substance.

Key FAQs for Fighters:

Q: How deep is the gameplay beyond the humor?

A: Surprisingly tactical! Each politician has unique attack patterns, weaknesses, and special moves ("Birdie’s Rally" drains stamina). Mastering dodges, counters, and timing your boosts (e.g., "Veto" for last-second blocks) is essential, especially on harder difficulties or bonus missions.

Q: Are the unlocks/personalization purely cosmetic?

A: Mostly yes – hairstyles, skin tones, and patriotic outfits (new styles added regularly) are visual. Boosts like "Cup of Filibuster" (unlimited punching) or "Executive Order" (temporary invincibility) impact gameplay significantly but are earned via progression, not microtransactions.

Q: Does it require an internet connection?

A: No! The core campaign, customization, and bonus missions work entirely offline. Only leaderboards (if available) would need connectivity.

Q: How long is the campaign, and what’s the replay value?

A: The main story takes ≈3-4 hours, but brutal bonus missions (e.g., "KO Jab Bush in one punch") and mastering higher difficulties add significant longevity. Unlocking all boosts and outfits provides extra goals.

Q: Is the satire one-sided?

A: It mocks both sides equally! Democrats and Republicans alike are lampooned through exaggerated stereotypes, special moves (e.g., "Toxic Tweet Storm"), and dialogue. The tone is playful, not malicious – think Saturday Night Live in boxing gloves.

Q: Controller support details?

A: Full compatibility with popular Bluetooth controllers (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S). Mapping feels intuitive, offering a classic arcade feel far superior to touch controls for precision combos.

    This game brings me so much joy. I play it non-stop, day and night. The controls feel great, the quality is top-notch, and everything feels fair. One of the best parts? I can even enjoy it without any Wi-Fi. I got the VIP status, not just for me but to show appreciation for the hard work put into this game. I've completed all the fighters and tackled every challenge. And in return, I received... nothing. A little prize for completing all challenges would be amazing. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Thank you for creating such a fantastic experience! Wishing you a wonderful day!
