Review: There are quite a few good VR boxing games out there so far and now ‘Era of Combat: Boxing’ comes along and enters the ring. Sadly it gets knocked out before it has even step foot into the ring. There are 3 game modes to choose from which are Training, Solo and Multiplayer (which is already dead with zero players online) and while I can accept that this is still in early access there is almost no content here whatsoever. In fact, unless you hit the multiplier side of things you will see all there is to see in less than 10 mins with only 1 ring and a handful of low-poly, super-low animated characters to fight in solo.

From the terrible graphics, boring gameplay and total lack of content, there is nothing here to warrant the £15.49 asking price, but maybe, just maybe more content will come in the future. But until it does I can only suggest you stay well clear of this for now and see if things do improve in the future.
