VR Boxing Latest Update, New Opponent, Improves Game

VR Boxing game for the HTC Vive, The Thrill of the Fight is still in early access via Steam but today has seen a new update which changes up the fighting mechanics and adds a new boxer Luis “The Lightning” Felix. What’s probably the most impacting difference with this new update is the removal of the stamina which previously had your boxing gloves break if you threw too many punches without taking a break. However, since the update, this system has been removed entirely where it’s now the fitness level of the player which dictates how many punches can be thrown. Compared to the previous fighter, Luis feels a bit less predictable and can hit you with a devastating punch that can send you to the canvas. We’re promised that each fighter will have his own fighting style which we can clearly see at this early stage. Once the game is fleshed out a bit more then it’s certainly one to keep an eye on for sure.
