What used to be a great flash game before, 'Dragon Fist 3D' has now been transformed into a very impressive VR game, 'Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu', what a big step forward with great results!

I suspect most VR gamers among us have checked out what fighting games are available right now,
Besides a series of boxing games with repetitive fights in a ring or training levels, there wasn't really a VR title that could match the feel of a classic fighting game style.
'Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu' really changes this!

Check out the full lineup of characters in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPU7XJJNqJo

I'm not going to lie, during my first playing session I just played for more than 4 hours, and in the second session half that!
The mind of the Shaolin must also take time to achieve restlessness, constant violence is not the key to mastering the Kung Fu ways.
But Dragon Fist in virtual reality has a great appeal to ignore the restlessness and just kick ass.

Not only does the gameplay feel good, the environments are also very appropriate, and also inspired by well-known classic martial arts/fighting movies, just like in the flash game, if you have ever played this you will appreciate the levels and also the characters from back then. You will recognize them quickly, but if this is your first time playing Dragon Fist, you will quickly notice how appropriate these levels are.
Some levels also have interactive objects such as drums that you can play or tables that can break, but each level has its own atmosphere nicely incorporated.
In addition to a series of levels, you also have a very extensive choice of characters, an impressive 40.
Most characters also have unique fighting styles and each character also has their own special attack,
That's 40 different specials, temporary iron arms, throwing a knife, blocking the others' movements, a boost attack, even a popular 'hadoken'! (psst, if you want to do the hadoken you have to fight with 'Master Kwun' - And if you want to use the wolverine claws you have to fight with 'The Tiger)

Also quite important to know is that the game supports Finger Tracking with valve index controllers,
this function in combination with the mouth movement responses of microphone sound are undoubtedly very appropriate regarding kung fu fighting,
Want to hit your opponent by using pinks only? yes of course why not!
Want to poke a pair of eyes with your index or middle fingers? go ahead!

There are also a lot of different spectator cameras available that provide some extra fun for some viewers, you can see an overview of these camera views here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIFvbr8u0XU

The in game reactions of the movements you will do with your hands, wrists, arms and sometimes your whole body are very accurate.
But you can also in case of emergency you can still practice the pimp-slap into a martial art.
In addition to the special attack, each character also has an alternate costume that you can choose from.
There are also a lot of difficulty levels to choose from,
once you've ventured into the hard mode and need even more challenge you have even 'harder', and then even master mode!
The harder the mode is set, the less details you will be able to check during the fighting rounds.
Otherwise you will be able to track how much hp the opponent or you have, how many knockouts are still available, etc.
With higher difficulty you will be able to see less details and if I'm not mistaken, with 'harder' you won't see any details, master mode is then ultra difficult with no details, and before I forget, a realism mode has recently been added as well.

There is a lot of content in this game, and that's not nothing, there are also a number of modes, you can just choose who your opponent is or challenge a series of opponents like in the classic fighting games and also in 'Dragon Fist 3D '.
You will not have unlocked all opponents at the start,
you do this with the help of stars that you achieve according to your success in defeating characters.
In the long run this can become a bit difficult to unlock them all, but if you play the 'master' mode they are all unlocked, but ultra difficult of course.

The developer told me that he would like to add weapons to the game and even a multiplayer mode,
"Is your 'shtyle' unblockable? How can your shtyle block another shtyle? Try to block my shtyle with your shtyle? Let's see who have the best shtyle!"
Could already be one of the funny opening lines during an online fight,
then add some appropriate martial arts fighting sounds and fun while burning calories is guaranteed.
Possible soundtrack expansions, if this were possible in the future, could put the icing on the cake to make the in-game battles as appropriately atmospheric as possible.
So things to look forward to!

Anyways, if you made it this far then you might wanna read it again with more appropriate music but remember,
'Don't think, feel'

'Tales Of Glory' is one of my most favorite VR games from my entire collection,
I already wrote a review for this game before, but 'TOG' deserves a detailed update!
There are quite a few reasons why I love this game so much, and I'll list them all!

Troy, King Arthur, 300, Alexander, The Last Samurai, and so many more, i'm sure most of us have at least seen a couple of those.
Remember the sight of these battles and the fantasy of being right in the middle of them...
TOG makes this fantasy come true!
The intensity in this game goes very high and especially now with the current physics,
Limbs swing from the body by the sharp cut of the swords,
Heads fall like little rocks on the mud of sand and blood!

TOG is perfect when you desperately need to blow off some steam,
Every now and then you may experience those days or even weeks that are frustrating to the highest degree,
Often these frustrations run through your head during your normal relaxing activities, making it no longer relaxing.
If you experienced this and have a VR headset then you should definitely have TOG.
It doesn't matter what made your day bad, in TOG it's about aggressiveness and brutality, after half an hour or more you get your thoughts quiet.

So TOG is a medieval battle simulator for virtual reality, and a very good one!
You will be able to choose from different modes with or without objectives such as raiding or infiltrating places and also defending own locations from invasions, or even the king during an escape, ect
One of my favorite battles is taking over a castle built high up, during the battle there are also fireballs flying from one side to the other that are fired with trebuchets. (Trebuchets are map based)
All this is possible with choice of about 50 different battlefields with more than 50 historical weapons,
spears, longswords, shortswords, daggers, bow & arrow, maces, and so much more. The axes are also fantastic to use.
Do you want to show off on a riding horse with dual meelee weapons?
This is all possible!
You will also be able to pass commands to your troops using the right controls to be able to fight more strategically.
You can also choose the number of units that your team or the enemy have, it is even possible to battle with large numbers which can take a long time but is really great.

There is also a very extensive RPG campaign where you can play your countless hours,
In this campaign you will have to take on units to fight with you or raid convoys, it is important that you take good care of these units and that they survive during the battles,
there are different kingdoms and you will end up in lots of quests over many different locations such as also taverns or a medieval fair,
at this fair you can also participate in competitions from that magical time.

Yes, in addition to all the bloodshed, TOG also brings some anemoia to the experience through all these medieval locations and activities through VR perspective & motion controls.

By the way, speaking of magic, there has been an update recently that now allows you to cast magic spells during battles,
this together with the also recent possibility to play with MODS makes the game the 'icing on the cake'.

TOG is also a great experience if you own a VR compatible treadmill or other device that does the same thing.
For example, with the help of AgileVR I was able to fight in Tales Of Glory and because of this I had to control my virtual legs with my real legs,
and this in combination with VR and motion controls was a fantastic experience.

If you think that's all this developer has in store for us, you're wrong, take a look at 'Tales Of Glory 2 Retaliation', which is pretty much the same but with modern military action: https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1089780/Tales_Of_Glory_2__Retaliation/
