1 month ago 46

The Oculus Quest and VR technology, in general, offer a more engaging and immersive gaming experience. Moreover, the controls are much more flexible, enabling you to pull off amazing moves. To this end, the action feels more realistic and exciting, and it is easy to get carried away. However, some games offer better experiences than others, depending on their overall quality and gameplay designs.

You can play dozens of fighting games on the Oculus Quest. We recommend the following ten games for the best action.

10. Drunkn Bar Fight

Barfights are mostly mindless, with most people clueless about what started the fight in the first place. Additionally, virtually anything goes in a barfight, from kicks and blows to flying beer bottles and chairs. This is what Drunkn Bar Fight offers: pure action without much character depth or a grand plot. The goal is to beat everyone around you and create as much havoc as you can in your drunken haze. Interestingly, you can also take the riot out into the alleys, malls, churches, country clubs, and even police stations.

9. Gladius

Gladius is a sword-fighting game set in Ancient Rome and inspired by gladiators, legendary for their superior fighting skills. As a gladiator, you must fight different enemies to appease the crowd and gain your freedom.

The enemies in Gladius are formidable and come in different types, including other gladiators, barbarians, lions, tigers, and mythical creatures like the minotaur. Fortunately, you have many weapons to work with and can pull off tricks like teleporting and slowing down time. The game features four modes with diverse objectives and gameplay designs, including creative and quirky community mods.

8. Gorn

Gorn has a more casual approach to the gladiator theme than Gladius. However, the fighting is more intense, and your only objective is to dispatch your enemies in the most violent way. To this end, the fighting scenes feature blood spatters and flying limbs, eyeballs, and teeth; there’s no limit to the carnage.

Besides being extremely violent, Gorn is also a bit quirky and funny, thanks to its loose physical concepts. For example, weapons can become wobbly, and your enemies can start floating or hopping around, causing unintended and usually hilarious consequences.

7. Samurai Slaughterhouse

Unlike Gladius and Gorn, Samurai Slaughterhouse adds some adventure to the fighting. It follows a samurai warrior battling humans and demons as he explores a vast, metroidvania-style open world. You can use a range of traditional Japanese weapons to dispatch your enemies, including the legendary katana. The fighting is realistic, and your enemies can try to predict and block your attacks. Interestingly, you can complete quests for NPCs to unlock new areas or even recruit them to fight by your side.

Besides fighting, this game also features a few interesting side activities. For example, you can go fishing or use money to decorate your home.

6. Hellsplit: Arena
