Rage on the Streets With Fury Fighter VR

If you miss the classic era of the scrolling beat-em-up and are interested in exploring how the idea might translate into virtual reality (VR) then a new title on Steam Early Access called Fury Fighter VR.

Fury Fighter is the creation of independent develop CentVire, who have adapted the classic beat-em-up formula that was successfully used in titles such as Streets of Rage and Final Fight back in the 1990s to the modern day.

Unlike its ancestors from the 90s, Fury Fighter VR is a full 3D experience with a more open environment and, of course, in VR. The graphics have been given a colourful, slightly polygonal look that mimics the look of early 3D, but with modern lighting and shaders.

The levels have been procedurally generated so players can expect a different experience each time. Players will be able to select a male or female character in a quest to rescue their boyfriend or girlfriend.

The current version is Early Access comes with the Arcade Mode, and is acting as the proof-of-concept for the fighting system, which the development team will test and take feedback from the community in order to improve for the cooperative mode and other game modes which are planned for later release.

The development team are planning on a 5-8 month period in Early Access for Fury Fighter VR, during which they will be working on new moves and new bosses to add in, as well as further developing the additional game modes. The full version will includes both competitive and cooperative multiplayer, with both free-for-all deathmatch and team-based deathmatch modes in multiplayer. The full version will also include extensive character customisation options.

Fury Fighter VR is available on Steam for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, currently priced at £6.11 (GBP), a 15% discount on the usual price of £7.19, with the offer due to expire on 1st June, 2018.

Beat Up Gang Members In Hotdog Costumes in Fury Fighter VR

Developer and publisher CentVire have revealed their virtual reality (VR) title Fury Fighter VR which will be making its way to Early Access sometime in the future. This videogame, as the title may give a clue towards, is a VR beat ’em up in which players need to take down waves of gang members in order to save their significant other.

Fury Fighter VR will see players entering a virtual world in which their significant other has been taken away from them by a gang and it falls down to them in order to save the day. Thanks to the motion tracking options available with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, players will be able to deal out the street justice all while dodging those incoming hits as they punch through wave after wave of gang members. From biker gang members to the usual punk looking fellow and even hot dog wearing guys, players will need to beat them all equally.

The currently details on the title are thin but the Early Access release will see the title going through around five to eight months of development before releasing in full. At release there will be an arcade mode that will allow players the chance to beat up virtual gang members with a number of other gamemodes and features planned further down the line. This includes the option for multiplayer and co-op gameplay with modes including deathmatch, team deathmatch and character customization being a part of this line up of features.

What makes Fury Fighter VR sound rather interesting is that the title will include procedurally generated levels, meaning that each encounter will be different no matter how many times a player goes to deliver justice. As the development on the title continues and it releases into Early Access players will be able to see first hand how much variety there is to be found in the titles systems.

There is currently no word on when Fury Fighter VR will be entering Steam Early Access or what the price point will be but the developer notes that during the Early Access period the price will gradually increase as they add new content and features. CentVire’s other VR titles include the likes of OniBushi VR and Tombo Breaker VR.
