Mech League Boxing

The free "Boxing Ring" environment made by Valve was my first taste of VR Boxing. It was fun, but easy. The robot you fight showboats a lot, leaves itself open, and ragdolls from your hits. Then I found "The Thrill of the Fight" which I suspect is probably the most realistic we will see for a long time for VR Boxing. Real boxing rules, 3 rounds, full length rounds, 1 minute break between rounds, in a ring that is spectated and refereed. It's a slugfest, with no glorious knockout swings (though you can knock your opponent down and potentially out, it takes a lot of work) and you have to keep up your guard. You get through one fight and you're drenched in sweat, breathing heavy. You take too many hits to the head and your vision gets blurry and wobbly. I found the middle ground though. "Mech League Boxing" feels like it's halfway between the two, in terms of straight up boxing. The robots are big and goofy looking, you can customize yourself, you fight multiple rounds but don't get a break between them, but combat is more forgiving It has really good visuals, great audio, a bit of humor, and is fun. Then the weapons start spawing, and you're supplementing your boxing with big…

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This could potentially be that game that is the perfect in between boxing fun of the totally arcade Knockout League and the somewhat realistic boxing Thrill of the Fight. Unfortunately, as of today, this game is not even half as good as either. It's still better than Boxing Apocalypse! (not hard to do though) The main problem with Mech League Boxing is there are way too many bugs. I can't even start tournament mode because it's not working ... that's like 1/3 the game that is not working and probably the most important mode of the game. There's also a pointer problem. This has been a problem for a while. The pointer just stops working and you can't select stuff rom the menu. Lastly, sometimes the enemy AI just stops. Literally they just stand in the corner, out of your play area. I fixed that simply by waiting for a weapon to spawn and then throwing it at the darn robot. It finally started to move back towards me. It's fun, when it works. There's even two workout modes. There's one where you punch incoming comets which is pretty meh. But there's another one where you punch Left or Right on cue to boxes in differen…

pretty fun game if you are looking to break a sweat. pros: workout is fun, grapics are good, custimization is there, practice modes are fun, and blocking and hit markers arent bad either cons: absolutely needs multiplayer, weapons are pointless, sometimes the fighters gets way to up in your grill if you cant backup due to room constraints, needs more fighters for replayability. I'd go with a 8/10

It was quite fun, but in 2026 I tried to play this, it came up no executable file, went into the games folder, opened the .exe right from there, but then it wouldn't recognize / work with Oculus Touch controllers so couldn't get past the menu / tutorial as you have to teleport to get to the next menu / play and you can't.

the game is broken, it cant even detect the controllers.

I was not impressed with this game. As someone who is quite active, I found this game quite boring after about 30 minutes. The trouble with the game in it's current state is there no real reward for winning tournaments. There is no multi-player currently, so boxing AI gettings boring quite fast. The movement for blocking was a tad clunky, and in all honesty, wasn't needed much unlike real boxing becuase most of the time you could just counter-punch through the enemies. Overall score: 4.5/10
