Virtual reality indie boxing simulator

The Thrill of the Fight – VR Boxing is an early access indie boxing simulator. Take to the gym and practice your moves before stepping into the ring with a series of increasingly difficult opponents.

Hit the ropes

Enter the rough and ready world of amateur boxing with The Thrill of the Fight – VR Boxing. After meeting their distinctively non-human boxing coach, players fight a series of rounds against other poorly-animated fighters and climb the league. Despite a general poor graphical quality (which is more funny than distracting) the underlying gameplay is tight and responsive. Fights feel like actual physical challenges, complete with sweating and panting. The game claims that fights burn upwards of 15 calories a minute and it isn’t hard to see why. The Thrill of the Fight – VR Boxing actually works as a fairly intense cardio workout, although this physical nature of the game can cause issues. It is all too easy to run into a desk or uppercut an expensive VR headset accidentally, so only play in large open areas.

Technical K.O.

The Thrill of the Fight – VR Boxing is an old run down gym of a game. It won’t win points for appearance, but the workout is top notch.
