About Boxing Machine VR
Boxing Machine VR is a VR boxing sim set in a steampunk gym where you fight robot opponents. Developed by Vnow Games and released in September 2025, it blends physical combat with mechanical aesthetics. The game’s single-player mode tasks you with progressing through weight classes, earning upgrades, and mastering punch timing. Set in a world of gears and steam, it’s a niche pick for VR owners who enjoy punch-based rhythm challenges. The core loop combines dodging, counterattacks, and using gadgets like power gloves. It’s not a deep story-driven title but focuses on the visceral thrill of VR boxing.
Gameplay
You control a boxer using motion-tracked punches, ducks, and blocks. Each match requires timing hits to glowing weak points on robotic foes while avoiding their mechanical strikes. Between rounds, you tweak gear, upgrading gloves or stamina boosts. The ring itself reacts to heavy hits, shaking or triggering steam bursts. Matches escalate in difficulty, introducing faster bots and environmental hazards. The lack of AI variety means patterns repeat, but the physicality of swinging in VR keeps sessions engaging. Sessions last 15, 20 minutes, with longer career progression taking 10+ hours to unlock all 40 achievements.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.3/5, with 80% positive reviews. Average playtime is 14 hours, but only 25% complete 100% of content. Community moods are “Punchy,” “Gritty,” and “Addictive,” but some call it “Repetitive” and “Tough to Learn.” Critics praise the VR immersion but note shallow progression. 68% of players finish the main story, while 40% collect all achievements. The game is priced at $29.99, making it a mid-tier VR purchase.
PlayPile's Take
Boxing Machine VR is best for VR users who enjoy rhythmic combat. The physical mechanics are satisfying, but the lack of AI variety and steep learning curve may frustrate newcomers. At $30, it’s a low-risk buy for VR owners, though its 25% completion rate suggests it won’t keep everyone hooked long-term. If you’re a boxing sim fan and own a VR headset, it’s worth a punch. Otherwise, skip it.
