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.

Crazy Kung Fu
Crazy Kung Fu
This game made me feel like I was the Karate Kid, except, instead of a real old man making me wax his car I was given a cardboard cut-out of an old man.
Not that that’s a bad thing, naturally. I don’t particularly want an old man watching me work up a sweat, but I would have liked him to perhaps throw some guidance my way on how I can improve rather than waiting for the end of the match.
This game feels more like I’m training in martial arts than playing a game, there’s no mid-game scoring, no timed events or any tips during the match, you just need to get on with it, give it your best and see your ways to improve at the end. It did feel quite similar to when I was in school doing marital arts training.

About as close as you can get to a training simulator for martial arts. You aren’t hitting things to a soundtrack. It is purely a training dummy with spinning targets you either Block (forearm), punch, or dodge. The harder and firmer your form, the more points you build up.
If you’re looking for a game that will give you a little cardio workout, pick this up. Level 5 and beyond will have you sparring with 3 simultaneously spinning targets to work with.
This game had me sweating from my eyelashes. When you find your groove, and stop ‘trying’, your natural reactions become instant. Your right hand will be blocking, but your already looking to your left to intercept the next target.

AmIHero
A game that seems to have slightly twisted the sports game concept
First, practice the sport you chose in the first step.
When you go to the main stage, a person named Master gives you a suspicious mission.
Strange missions are similar to how you exercise in the first stage, so you play naturally.
I thought it was a simple game, but when I play, I throw, hit, and sweat.
So I think the exercise effect is good.
Because it’s a VR game, you have to shake your arms around, so if you do something wrong, the monitor can be damaged.

I think it’s perfect for me who like both casual games and sports games.
In the tutorial stage, it’s a sport, but in the main game it turns into a casual game.
It’s unfortunate that there are only 4 types of sports in Early Access, but it would be better if other sports were added later.
It’s good to enjoy lightly.

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.

I know I’ll get fitter playing this game.
What the hell is a burpee? What is this one handed push-up nonsense? Squats I’m good with, running is fine, jumping without hands above my head is great. Punching the discs is fine. The points system is mad, I couldn’t compete in a points table in this unless there’s a dad-bod mode tiered system for middle-aged e-sport leagues.
This game has taught me much about my fitness levels. 1) I’m not fit enough to complete 30 minutes inside this game with a high score. 2) it doesn’t matter, because even if I do half of what the game is asking of me, I’m still moving and that’s an improvement on sitting on my arse at the desk.

5/5! Great improvements, new features, and updated songs, thank you!

Simple games like this could be a lot worse but this one has a good feel to it. It’s another fitness game too.

Pretty good game! but there’s a problem I have with it. I accidentally changed the language from English to a different language and I can’t switch it back. Still a great game though.

Sports Paradise VR
The island and accompanying music were fairly pleasant! I got around to engage in the jogging and archery portions of the game and I must say that both of them were fun! Would recommend if you enjoy calm environments.

So I cannot game recommend this collection of VR sports-themed mini-games. They consist of archery, boxing, and running / jogging in an island setting. The island map is probably the best thing about this game. The visuals aren’t great, but they are nice enough.
Unfortunately, two of the three sports title are just bad. The boxing mini-game, where you basically just hit 3 targets on a boxing dummy over and over again, wave after wave with no challenge is the worst of the bunch. It basically looks and plays like a learn how to make your first VR game in Unreal Engine from Zenva.

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

This was a very tough call for me on whether to recommend it or not. At the end of the day, I decided there just wasn’t enough here to recommend the game. It’s not a bad game. It’s nice for what it is. This is a very simple arcade street fighter for VR where you can punch, kick (via button push), dodge, or block.

UPD: the game was hugely improved with latest update, but it’s still not good enough to recommend. I crossed out fixed problem from the cons list.
Fighting Clans rcadey VR brawler with few glaring issues.
Pros:
- With all its flaws, the gameplay is still fun: the game does boxing way better than Creed. Hitboxes are more or less appropriate, overall combat feels almost as good as in Virtual Fighter Championship(which is not great, but serviceable)
Cons:
In-game hands are extremely bad. They not aligned with real life on Oculus Touch and have very limited reach, that makes hooks real pain in the ass. Also the stance is weird: character’s elbows are spread very wide, so they don’t seem to protect the body at all
