Description: Sucker Punch – Demo: is a fast-paced first-person single or multiplayer VR game: one part sport, one part fighter. Wielding a variety of power-ups, you will punch, parry, and strike your way to victory launching a flurry of cubes at your opponent. Defend your goal while sending blocks past your foe to win and get rewarded!
Review: WThe main idea of ‘Sucker Punch VR’ is to punch all the cubes flying towards you. It is not music/rhythm-based, it is more a fast-action game that is PVP, but there are no other players, so you just play against the AI and at times it can be a bit of a workout. While the gameplay never really changes you do get a nice little mix of arenas and unlockables. But it never really feels “fun”, its more a pointless workout that throws cubes at you so fast, it hopes you don’t notice how shallow the gameplay is. This game might be better if you could play with friends, but for us single players there really isn’t enough to justify the download let alone the asking price. This is a good opportunity missed, but with a few changes, it could be so much better.
