TKO

TKO

Come face-to-face with a heavyweight champ!

Too many boxing games place the player outside the ring looking in. How can you experience the adrenaline jolt of landing a crisp uppercut from the cheap seats?

Now you can literally “enter the ring” in the classic first-person boxing game TKO from Accolade™ – the boxing game that sticks you right on the canvas, staring straight into the eyes of a prize fighter bent on rearranging your face.

TKO’s features make it a unanimous decision:

  • Split-screen, arcade-style boxing action gives you a dual, first-person perspective. Watch yourself hit and get hit.

  • Witness the punishment of the punches on each fighter’s face. They swell. They bruise. They turn black and blue.

  • Calibrate each boxer’s strengths. Is his left better than his right? Is he cat-like or a clubber? Does he run out of band-aids or run out of gas?

  • Fight a stable of hungry contenders, each with his own ringside manner.

  • Slug it out with large, animated fighters. Pick on somebody your own size.

  • One or two player capability: pummel friends or clobber the computer.

  • Aerial-cam shows your position in the ring.

A neat little shared splitscreen game where two players completing on various game modes. It is a simple game where each person only has one button to use, A for the left and L for the right side. There are also plenty of different game modes to battle a friend with, from races, sports like golf, soccer and archery and duels. The graphics and visuals are also simple with its 8 bit style which adds to the arcadey aesthetics. Though, it is only really playable if you have another person as that is how the game is intended to be played. Though an addition of an online mode would definitely be great so then you would be able to play with each other online as opposed to it being only a local game. Though overall, it is recommended if you want a 2 player versus game and have someone else to play with. Some time can be sunk into, having a bunch of casual fun as there are plenty of challenges you can play against a friend with. It is fun to have in short bursts and come back to from time to time.

I played this with a friend via remote play and enjoyed it a lot. There are some major bugs at the moment that hampered the play, namely with controller detection. Glitches such as the volume control reverting back to full volume in the middle of a match, sudden death rounds not allowing anyone to take damage, or being able to bring up the main menu during arcade mode and blocking up the screen, these are a few examples.

This game fills a niche that I really like and is cheaply priced. If you do not like unfinished early access games, then you should wait for more development, but I’ve gotten the game to be able to provide more feedback to the developers. I can give this game a modest recommendation for now.

Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu

Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu

First person VR Kung Fu combat against a variety of different opponents, with a variety of different fighting styles, tactics, special moves and back stories.

Defeat the Dragon Master.. and the rest

When a powerful, ruthless master emerges in the world of martial arts, it awakens many emotions. From the ambitious master looking for a challenge, to the wronged peasant sworn to revenge, to the jealous emperor who wants to be the sole ruler of the people, it brings out many people to fight each other and achieve their own goals.

Step into your own kung fu movie inspired by colourful characters inspired by Chinese and Hong Kong martial arts movies across the decades. Whether you fancy playing as an old wise master, or a young gifted female kung fu student, or a shaolin monk, bruce lee inspired character, samurai or a ninja there’s bound to be someone for you…

Symmetric Physics Based Combat

“When you learn how to adapt, you will be unstoppable… When you redirect your opponents energy: you force him to change. So in essence he defeats himself."

Block attacks with your hands or forearms, or bob and weave, push their arms out the way, or move about, how you fight is up to you. But your opponents might use different strategies also, so you must learn how to foresee their attacks and how best to attack them.

You opponents all have the same controls as you, no advantage, no disadvantage. Except on easier levels they will have less strength - they will also have their speed and intelligence reduced.

Variety

Fight in different scenes an atmospheres inspired by movies, like the dark Red Flower Cult, the misty bamboo forest, kung fu school, (early 20th century) boxing ring + many move

40 different characters that have various colourful costumes and have their own special moves to learn and use. Each character has their own fighting style to fight against aswell as a perk and a weakness

So, take a deep breath, make a fist and prepare to battle your way to victory

Billion Beat

Billion Beat

I love this game, the world is always in need of more Punch-Out-likes and this scratches every itch it has, and the music is insanely good.

Only thing that could drive people away is how gross the characters look but they grow on you after a while.

The combat is a lot more ‘groovy’ than Punch-Out, more rhythmesque, if you will. Feels more like dancing than it does straight up beating the shit out of someone.

Real player with 131.2 hrs in game

Billion Beat is great. The visuals and music are on point. The gameplay follows the Punch-Out formula perfectly: time your punches and dodge or counter theirs. If you make a mistake, your character will take a bit to recover and that is more than enough time for your opponent to mess you up, so learn from coach Baby T and DON’T JUST MASH THE BUTTONS!

There’s also a bunch of stuff to keep things fresh like “hype moves”, items and even progression. Successfully landing a regular punch rewards you with a bit of energy and you need that energy to dish out the heavy punishment, so you quickly start to get into this flow of dodging and countering to build up your energy until you can finally let your hands fly.

MMA Team Manager

MMA Team Manager

If you like MMA and sports simulation, this game is a MUST have. It felt expensive but I took a gamble and I’ve already become hocked. The thing is, the UI isn’t as bad as people are saying and the game has significant depth and if worked on with future updates, it could become a serious classic video game for MMA fans.

The league system and variety of tactics involved are seriously entertaining with a great challenge in the first few seasons.

I wish there were more STATs on fighter’s records because as a sports simulation buff, that is what turns me on the most.

Really enjoying playing this title. I start out in lower leagues and try and work my way up. You get a monthly recruitment drive where every once in a while you find a stud that can really pay dividends if you were able to sign him to a long bargain contract. Finances are a challenge and I’ve been sacked a couple different saves from not paying enough attention to it.

One way to better your finances is to get fighters who can win. A fighters career wins adds to his crowd attraction stat, what caliber the fighter is also adds to it. Currently my home attendance average is 2388 with a ticket price of 20. My bargain find fighter who won league 7 fighter of the year last year is a huge contributor to attendance. He’s 21 years old has 50 wins and I have just extended his contract 5 years. He didnt want to extend last year but after we won the 7th league my manager status changed so I was able to. I like the way the game’s contracting is setup. You might be able to sign a bluechip from the market but if the caliber difference is heavily favored by the fighter, expect a overpaid fighter on your hands.

pretty fun game for the price, controls are kinda boring and very similar in most events and the graphics are pretty bad. But there are a lot of events and still a decently fun game. Reminds me a bit of London 2012 although that game is a lot better

if this was called special olympics it would be overselling itself….thought it was for a moment because i thought i was gone deaf, turns out there is no sound at all in the game.

Fisticubes - One Button Boxing!

Fisticubes - One Button Boxing!

[I’ve edited my review since the game brought new updates. All small edit notes are like this]

Think “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots”, but instead of robots, it’s cubes who bounce around in a retro Nintendo 64-like world. It’s a game with strong arcade roots - you don’t have long cutscenes, no stories, you just get told how to play and jump in. It also reminds me of mini-game classics like Mario Party, a popular franchise back then which birthed many titles on the N64. If you want quick, mindless fun, it’s one of those games. If you’re at home with a friend and you’re bored, you can avoid a dull evening with Fisticubes.

This game has some of the most advanced combat mechanics I’ve ever seen.
