This follow-up features a &#8220;gritty, humourous, 80&#8217;s cyberpunk-themed&#8221; world.<\/p>\n<p>Your job in this simulation is to manage your time and funds, whilst climbing to the top of the fighting leagues, solving crimes, working for the police and even assisting the mob and mafia. There are also quests to complete, new fighting schools and moves to unlock, and branching storylines.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a bit about the story, along with some screenshots:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s been 20 long years since a nameless cool guy punched the big bad and everyone was really happy or something. Welcome to the future: it\u2019s corrupt, sea shells have replaced toilet rolls, and everything&#8217;s cyberpunk now. Walk the same, but now neon, streets Roy did as you&#8217;re thrown into an adventure filled with hilarity, 80\u2019s nostalgia, and punching. Even more punching than before. The mean streets of the under-city are a disease, but you could be the cure. Fighting is the only way to blow off steam and earn valuable good person points, which you\u2019re going to need, kid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Punch Club 2\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b4afbdee7bd82\/punch-club-2.large.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b4afbdee7bd82\/punch-club-2.445x.webp\" alt=\"Punch Club 2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Punch Club 2\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b9db385e01afc\/punch-club-2.large.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b9db385e01afc\/punch-club-2.445x.webp\" alt=\"Punch Club 2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:77551 @ 2023-02-18T07:03:06+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Would you be interested in playing this Punch Club sequel on Switch?
