Be aware! Besides the nice feeling of nostalgia this game is getting me severe dyspnea and chest pain. My heart rate rises to 200 and I need to rest after each fight. I love it. :)

Punch-Out!! in VR. Get ready to burn calories *Reviewed on the HTC Vive* Let me preface this by saying I've been taking MMA for 5 years, including boxing & muay thai. I still have to take breaks between sessions & fights to wipe off all the sweat. Knockout League is probably the most polished VR boxing game to come out, yet. The game looks gorgeous. I can max out the graphics options, even on a GTX 970. With 9 varied opponents & 3 tiered training modes, it has a lot to offer. Each opponent has a different strategy, so throwing 1-2-1-2's won't win the match; neither will a tricky offense, unfortunately. Being patterned after an arcade boxing game comes with its own pitfalls. Your offensive game exists primarily blocking/slipping/bob&weaving your opponent's attacks, then countering with a 6-10 hit combo. When you're sparring in real life, anything more than 2-3 strikes will only tire you out. A competent opponent would cover up, counter, or step out of pocket, by then. It also doesn't have the strategic depth that I was hoping for with feints, parries, set-ups, etc. Bob & weaves can be tricky, and VR tracking also can't effectively tell the difference between a light/probing punch and a power punch. That last point is a limitation of VR, in general. My criticisms belong to a niche - minor nitpicks that could make a great game even greater. I think this belongs in every VR gamer's collection.

If Thrill of the Fight is Fight Night, Knockout League is Punch Out! And that's a good thing. The atmosphere is very well-done, especially for the first real VR generation of games. There are only a few opponents, so you're not going to play four circuits and Mike Tyson like Punch Out, but the training modes make up for it in spades. Reflex Alley by itself is worth every single penny this game costs and is a fantastic workout. The other training modes are also decent and have good replayability. I still haven't beaten more than two opponents, that's how much time I spend in Reflex Alley. It's definitely in my Favorites list.

I bought this game at full price. No regrets. It's exhausting to play, but really fun. It is very much like Punch Out for the Nintendo Wii which is obviously heavily takes inspiration from. Don't go into this expecting straight up boxing. Much like Punch Out, it's pattern recognition. You recognize what's happening based on the enemy movement and react accordingly, whether that's dodge in a certain direction, block or attack. You can only attack successfully at the appropriate times. The opponents are varied. The difficulty level is to the point where most will need a good amount of attempts to beat any enemy after the first, learning and getting better each time.

Updated review with latest content update Below the line is my initial review, here my new thoughts after having fought all enemies and tested the new 'Fitness' update: All 4 enemies are great and since the re-balancing feel a lot more fair and at the same time some attacks have become more challenging. Some fights can be difficult, but still feel fair at all times. The difficulty ramp is still here, but it got nerfed a bit, while the last enemy has gotten harder (which I appreciate as in the initial release he was too easy/weak). The developers have now implemented an alternate grip for the gloves which make them more similar to the default grip for Vive controllers in Thrill of the Fight. This allows a much more natural grip to punch the enemy. This change came after some community feedback, so they definitely do listen to the things posted here on the Steam forums. The latest content update has brought 2 mini-games to Knockout League: Focus Mitts and Speed Bag. Focus Mitts: my favorite new mini game where you have to land jabs, hooks, uppercuts in certain sequences as well as dodge attacks in the harder difficulties. There is easy, medium, hard and a stamina mode available right now. In the stamina mode you're only allowed to do 3 mistakes before losing. This mini game is exhausting in a good way. Great addition to the game! Speed bag: this one hasn't excited me that much. You have to punch a speed bag with a certain speed, either with your left, right or alternating both hands to score points. Again, there are 3 difficulty settings and one free punching mode. Not that exciting after one go. I wish they'd gamify that mode more. Conclusion : I can still recommend this game to anyone looking for a Punch-Out like boxing game. If you want a more realistic boxing game, I still recommend Thrill of the Fight like in my initial review. Both games have their places and I enjoy both. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you played Punch-Out in the past? This game is Punch-Out in VR! My first impression after having played through the tutorial, beat the 1st and 2nd enemy, and failed against the third enemy twice: fantastic game, achieves what it wants to do (Punch-Out in VR), highly polished visuals, very active combat. If you expect to get a realistic boxing game, then this isn't for you (there is an octopus as an enemy...an octopus!). But if you enjoy a pattern-recognition based arcade boxing game that requires you to pay attention, be quick on your feet/block reactively, then this game is for you! If you want a semi-realistic boxing game, then Thrill of The Fight may be a better game for you (can't recommend Kunlun Fighting, is significantly worse than Thrill of the Fight). This game and Thrill of the Fight stand in two separate game genre's even if they superficially seem to belong to the "boxing" genre. Knockout League allows you to dodge, however, you also have to counter quickly to get a hit in. The game doesn't require much space as it wants you to dodge sideways rather than backwards. You can also block enemies' attacks by timing it. If you block too early, you won't be allowed to counter back. This makes the game a lot more exciting! Currently the game's difficulty level is ramping up quickly and it is unlikely that you will be able to beat all enemies in one go. This is actually a good thing and you'll notice that with repeated matches that you simply get better and better to read the enemies' actions beforehand and overcoming such a challenge is always satisfying. There are still a few minor bugs I've encountered that are already mentioned in the early access page above. I can recommend this game to anyone that liked Punch-Out, likes more active VR games and people enjoying challenging fights. (This review will be edited after playing more of the game and if content patches change up the game significantly in the future)
