>send that shit to turki lel, the umas are making literally billions in profit, if that boxing clone were to get just a fraction of that I would consider it success, the only downside is that the guys would either look like twinks or total ogres
That's the problem, it'd be a hard sell as a gacha game if you're collecting buff fighter guys, so you'd have to lean in on the coolness aspect + have the fights be very entertaining or perhaps even interactive rather than just watching it play out. There are similar games like that that exist for things like Dragonball that have remained popular. Uma also leans heavy into the card collecting aspect which are way more important than the horses themselves. Lots of potential with that, but that type of thing goes all the way back to fomo over collecting baseball cards if you think about it.


A few similar boxing type sims like that. Punch Club, an indie game. Boxing Story, a japanese indie mobile game but they're much simpler in scope and not live service/free to play. Only way I could see it feasibly work is if Turki struck a deal with Morikawa to officially license an Ippo Musume clone. But CyGames put a lot of polish into this one and are devious. I'll try and make an indie clone, a gacha is way beyond my scope. That being said...you could just have hot anime girls boxing, this is a thought. Certainly beats the GWOAT
