Tonight’s card

In the ring and out of it

Gong! is a boxing game, but the day doesn’t start in the ring. Mornings at the döner shop, afternoons at the gym, evenings on the ferry.

Main event

Tactical boxing

Jab, cross, hook, uppercut and body shots. Work the distance, keep your guard, slip and counter. Every punch costs stamina; the fighter who knows when to breathe wins. 73 rivals, each with a style of their own, and the bosses bring a special move.

Neighbourhood life

Rent is due every week. Work the döner shop, the cargo depot or the building site, eat well and get your sleep. 105 characters, each with a portrait and a story: make friends, give gifts, fall in love, learn their secrets.

Two shores, one city

On the west side, the Karanfil neighbourhood: the Iron Fist Boxing Club, Kerem’s Döner, the coffeehouse, the five-a-side pitch. Take the ferry across: Kadıköy Market, Moda, Fenerbahçe Lighthouse, Haydarpaşa Station. 90+ places and streets that change from day to night.

Undercard

Rules of the street

One-Eye Tayfun’s crew, Capone’s club, the mysterious Bureau and the underground fights beneath the station platforms. Above it all, the 20 floors of Betonya Tower, and a man who plays with time.
