Fight Sparring VR

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch controllers [/h1] [i] Note for Oculus users; Roomscale setup strongly advised [/i] So I got this on sale for $1.79 from the normal price of $1.99 USD, yeah I'm a cheapskate. Anyways, there's no comparing this game to Thrill of the Fight because this is a $2 game. I can say, without any shadow of the doubt, this is the best $2 boxing game on Steam VR. The question is would you rather spend more for the better Thrill of the Fight or spend less than $2 on this game and get a similar, but lesser, experience? That's actually a close call believe it or not. This is a decently good game. There's not much bells or whistles to the game. No AAA production values here. The UI is clunky. The boxing AI is not the best, but it's decent enough. I was surprised. And you can block shots or dodge them. I think the description of pure dodgeplay mechanics is misleading by the dev, why he'd want to undersell it though it anyone's guess. Best of all, I got beat up pretty good by a girl. Normally you'd have to pay a premium dollar for that experience, but not in this game. You will probably need to adjust the distance of the AI boxer. Some of them just f…

for 1.59, it's somewhat good. my room was too small to adjust the distance between me and the opponent and had no clue how to fix it. boxed some people that kept kicking me and missing cause they were too far away. besides the issue I had, I don't think I would recommend to anybody. I knocked out a 5 star after playing the game for like 10 minutes

I try all of the fighting games and I like this one too. The distance problem people were complaining about seems fixed. There's like 6 different fighters at different difficulties. Graphics and sounds are actually pretty good. Does a good job feeling like you're in a real fight not knowing what the other guy might do. Lacking a bit on the hit feedback animations but it's still pretty satisfying.

is this game perfect? no do i see potential in it? yes this game has the potential to rival "thrill of the fight" for being a virtual sparring partner, but the problem is that it's held back by the limitations of vr, if leg tracking were part of vr games this one could skyrocket into something great. i hope chun yi see's this review, because i don't wanna see a game like this go to waste, maybe find a way to make it compatible with leg tracking devices such as vive. i know this game isn't perfect, but i know it can be alot more.

Given that this game is still in early development, I would recommend this game. The simulated sparring partner seems to move and react in a very lifelike fashion. My main complaint with this game is that I have a fairly small Play Space and every time I throw a couple punches the sparring partner will retreat outside of the Play Space where I can't reach and "hang out" there until he decides to start another attack. So the sparring matches haven't been very interesting so far. I tried changing the sparring partner distance parameter in the settings but that only improved things marginally. Also, the adjustment controls for a lot of the settings are outside of my Play Space and are difficult-to-impossible to reach. Nevertheless I see a lot of promise in this game.

I have both played thrill of the fight, kung-fu fight,and this game. I would put this game second. I would like the NPC to be a little closer and a little more aggressive. But it could be a good warm up sparring partner before playing the thrill of the fight NPC. I would also like to see more customization on the punch frequency and power. And more rounds as well.
