Review: It seems we have been waiting forever for a good fighting game/Beat ’em up for our VR headsets and when AAA titles like Tekken 7 get it wrong you can just start to imaging how bad VR Immortal Fight’ is. To be fair the 6 different areas look good and some of them even look great and the 20+ characters also look good. But when it comes down to gameplay this game falls flat on its face. There is no skill here, no learning curve, in fact, apart from the first tutorial fight in the bar you won’t be able to win any more fights. Most the characters don’t even have fist models so you can’t make a fist, the “throwing items” thing is all but pointless and the powerups/special abilities are crap beyond crap and not explained in any way. I have given up waiting for a good VR Beat ’em up, but if I am honest with myself I always knew this wouldn’t be worth the download.
