Great potential

I won’t compare to other boxing games. From my perspective as someone who is trying to get in shape, this app is what I was looking for. The mechanics for slips, rolls, and head movement is impressive. I enjoy this as a tool for shadow boxing and working on defensive movement. It’s helping me with my reflexes and coordination, the opponent isn’t spamming me, appear to be throwing real combos. It’s helping my snap my punches back to cover too. Yes I’m getting hit, but I’m practicing defense which I can’t do unless I have a coach or sparring partner. I can’t always hit my bag in the garage; so this is perfect for late night workouts. Pads are cool but I wish it would allow for missed punches without failing me.

Fact

True facts never lie, i am someone who is training to lose weight.
And im really hard trying to do it with VR and supplements, ive made a instagram channel, vr.fitwith.crownjax and everything is there as proof

The game is really fun in the beginning, after an hour or so the game becomes very repetitive, targets keep coming at you, and since when do you turn around with a stick in a sport.?

Compared to Thrill of the fight 1 this game is nothing, the game has less physics, i mean when you fight and you hit the enemies head, it really looks like you hit a balloon instead of like a real punch effect.

Next to it there is a plus, you have the same options as THRILL of the fight in training mode+ additional where targets rush you and you have to hit them with right or left, but that evenly has the same pattern kver and over and over again.

I cant compare it to totf, but what i really disliked is the target speed what really pisses me off cause you cant set it to constantly hitting targets max 8-10 targets in rush and then you brake for 3 seconds

Also since when do you turn with your thumbstick.? Atleast give an option to toggle it off for those who dont like it.?

Imagine your hitting boxes and boom you touch your stick by accident, midfight you miss all those rushing targets and your out...

Conclusion:
Buy this game ONLY if you have to much money, but thrill of the fight has better physics and better understanding that you are boxing it does feel and look better as well

Hi,
Thanks so much for the review and for supporting Golden Gloves VR!

If you'd like to share more feedback, feel free to reach out on Instagram or join us on the Golden Gloves VR Discord. We're happy to look into any issues and also give you a preview of what we’re working on.

I’ll check on the right-hand toggle—this should be disabled in Fists of Fury mode, so we’ll take a closer look.

We’ve been focused heavily on Multiplayer and our esports competitions recently, but we do have a major Single Player update planned for the future. We're a small team, but we're in this for the long haul and committed to ongoing improvements.

Thanks again,
Aaron Sloan

Has potential.

The gameplay is great and the boxers are more dynamic that TOTF, however the punches seem to land even though you've blocked or slipped a punch

Hi! Thanks so much for the review and for supporting our game — we really appreciate it!

The blocks should be working correctly, but I’d love to hear more about your experience if something felt off. As for the slips, they can definitely be tricky in single player. If we make the target too light, it becomes a bit too easy to win. That said, this is just the first phase of our single-player AI, and we’ve got plans to improve it over time.

We’re a small team and have been focused heavily on developing our multiplayer systems and tournament features. If you have questions or want a sneak peek at what’s coming, feel free to reach out on our Golden Gloves VR Discord.

good and fun but i have a question

this is a good boxing game and its pretty realistic in its movements....however ( and hopefully one of the devs will reply ) i cant seem to inflict as much damage as the AI opponent im boxing against ? so i can out point them and hit them more but rthey inflict way more damage on the scorecard ? am i doing something wrong.....? please advise ?

other than that , great game and after a weights workout at the real gym i often put this on for a 30 mnute cardio session....it really tires you out

Thank you for the review! I can explain the damage difference between you and our AI pretty easily.

The health system is different between you and the AI so the damage shown on the scorecards are not measured the same. You are not doing anything wrong and this is something that we are looking to fix in the future, its just not a top priority right now.

The AI currently is also made to be tankier with stronger hits to compensate for its simplicity. As we improve the AI their damage and health will come down to be more in line with the players own stats.

Hope that explanation helps and if you have any other questions please join our discord so you can talk to the devs - https://discord.gg/t8NsuFfWSm

Great for training!

This is not a game. It's a training simulator
for boxers. The mitt work is genius, and the bag mechanics are so genuine as well as the sparring.
