Thrill Of the Fight - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
We’ve previously spoken about Thrill Of the Fight as well here… a lot. It is a top tier boxing game that runs on the Oculus Quest 2 as well as PCVR. Out of all existing boxing games, and maybe even all VR fighting games, it is the one that is both the most true to life, without stupid stamina bars and artificial barriers on how quickly you can move or often you can punch, except for your own physical limitations.
Knocking down Ugly Joe in Thrill Of The Fight
If boxing is your chosen form of combat then there is no better VR title to pursue that with than Thrill Of the Fight. It is not only the most intense workout in VR, but also one of the most rewarding action experiences to overcome. The opponents you face in Thrill Of the Fight will challenge you both in terms of strategy and in how far you can push yourself physically. When you get to the point where how hard each fight is is not enough, there’s always a setting you can change or another difficulty level to go through.
If you’ve yet to get into Thrill Of the Fight and it sounds intriguing, check out our beginner’s guide on how to get the most out of this great VR fighting game.
Blade and Sorcery: Nomad - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Out of every game on this list, you’ve probably heard of Blade and Sorcery: Nomad. It has all the great tiktoks and youtube videos, second in infamy there only maybe to Boneworks. Why? Because Blade and Sorcery (and by extension it’s Quest 2 counterpart, Blade and and Sorcery: Nomad). Is supremely moddable with everything from Halo guns to Star Wars lightsabers.
Blade and Sorcery is a fun VR fighting game on the Quest 2
It’s also a ton of fun without mods. There is a large variety of medieval weaponry to choose, from bows to massive two handed swords, to glorified hunks of metal on a stick. The opponents you face are very well animated, attack, and respond dynamically.
Oh, and as the name also implies, you get magic. Throw fireballs, or send lighting from your hands, or dangle someone upside down off of a cliff with a gravity spell. There’s a ton of sandbox fun to be had, and promises of an RPG mode somewhere down the line. If you’re looking for some magical fantasy sword fights then this quest 2 fighting game delivers.
Swordsman VR - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Like the idea of Blade and Sorcery, but like the “Blade” part more than the “Sorcery” part? Well then Swordsman is probably your go to Meta Quest 2 action game. The goal of Swordsman is to be the best sword fighting game in VR, and they’ve done quite a lot to try to earn that reputation. With an RPG progression system and a ton of enemies to face, Swordsman certainly isn’t strained for content, and these enemies are much tougher than you might be accustomed to from other VR fighting games.
VR fighting games are great
Each is heavily armored, and parries and ripostes your attacks with precise moves and timing, more precise than any of the quest 2 fighting games. If you want an intricate fencing experiences, where every move counts and mistakes are punished immediately, then Swordsman is your game. Master opponents from Vikings to Samurai and everything in between. It’s tough, but it’s so satisfying to land that perfect counter on your enemy’s exposed elbow.
Battle Talent - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Battle Talent used to be free, but it’s still well worth the price as we’ve mentioned before. It is also the most High Fantasy, with all sorts of goblins, elves, and skeletons for you to fight with a variety of weapons and spells. There’s a spear that spits lightning and a literal gun. That’s not even counting the tons of weapons that can be modded in. Battle Talent is just as moddable as Blade and Sorcery.

Battle Talent has a leg up on other VR fighting games with it’s exciting maze mode. There aren’t exactly a lot of RPG elements to go with a lot of these fighting games, and so Battle Talent shines because of the many interesting character building choices you make in its mazes. You start the maze with a single weapon and average stats, but over the course of the maze as you defeat enemies and bosses you build and enchant your arsenal to make it more powerful. You also get upgrades to your character like extra health or magical damage. Make a powerful mage, or a burly warrior, or anything in between.
Gorn - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Want to shut off your brain and just smash for a while? Play Gorn. This somewhat goofy, but all around fun, colorful gladiator simulator Quest 2 fighting game is a really good time. You and all of your enemies are obscenely buff, with huge arms and hilariously stubby legs that bounce up and down off of the ground. Blood splatters are colorful and downright pretty, and you can do absolutely horrible things to your enemies from ripping off limbs to pulling hearts out.
Gorn is the most hilarious of all Quest 2 fighting games
While Gorn doesn’t have a lot of mechanical depth to it’s fights, really they’re easy to win just by flailing your arms, it is an extremely fun game to just mess around in. It’s not really about winning in this VR fighting game, it’s about destroying the ridiculous musclebound puppets that come at you in as fun a way as possible with a huge variety of weaponry. While Gorn doesn’t have a ton of replayability, for the laughs you get the first time around it is more than worth it, and is a great example of what VR physics can do.
Gladius - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Want a more serious gladiator simulator than Gorn? Well then come on down to the Colosseum of Ancient Rome in Gladius, a gladiator simulator where you will definitely die horribly, and avoiding that death for as long as possible is pretty hard. All sorts of beings will try to kill you in Gladius, from Lions to Gauls to Tigers to Amazons, and you need to fight carefully to preserve your limited health while you dispatch them.

With weapons from Gladii to Longswords, try to please the crowd as you dismember and slice your way through your enemies. Please the crowd and they will throw you gifts, more money for weapons, food to heal you, powerups to give you immense power temporarily. See how long you can make it in the arena, and the longer you do, the more gold you get for upgrades to give you even more VR fighting options.
While Gladius is sometimes a little janky in its animations and executions, it combines the Ancient Roman setting and its RPG elements delightfully.
Until You Fall - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Until You Fall is an action fantasy roguelike set in an ancient kingdom overcome by a strange crystalline evil that turned your once proud people into monstrous versions of themselves. You, as the kingdom’s last defender, must fight your way through it to defeat the evil that has infested your home in this VR fighting game.
Until You Fall is a very colorful VR fighting game
Since Until You Fall is a roguelike, you need to fight your way to the end without falling yourself, and pulling that off is the great hook of the game. Hit certain milestones to get more options for your arsenal, and further upgrade your weapons with better stats using points that you get each time you fail. The progression is very solid for a roguelike, and keeps you coming back for another upgrade to your favorite weapon.
Until You Fall’s greatest strength other than it’s progression is its use of both of your hands in its action combat, and it’s way of encouraging you to move. Some even say that Until You Fall is even more of a workout than most VR fighting games. Whether it is or not it is very strategic, and requires good reflexes. Mix and match the weapons you take in either hand. Some are slower, some are faster, and see which special abilities combine for the greatest effect. Until You Fall gives you some opportunities to plan and think about your character build, while also having loads of quick action.
Creed: Rise to Glory - Best Quest 2 Fighting Games
Creed: Rise to Glory is the other good Boxing game on the Oculus Quest 2. While not as realistic or as intense as Thrill Of the Fight, anyone who is still craving more boxing action should give Creed a look.
A slow motion attack in Creed: Rise to Glory
In this Quest 2 fighting game you take the role of Adonis Creed, and fight your way to the top of the Rocky franchise one opponent at a time. It is similar to Thrill Of the Fight in fighting style, but falls sort of being the more true to form experience that Thrill Of the Fight is. You don’t need to punch as hard, you don’t need to duck and weave as much. The whole experience is more toned down and artificial feeling.
The opponents you face move in more set patterns. You are encouraged to move in a certain way, and punch certain points as well. The game will interrupt a sweet combo to slow everything down and tell you to punch certain points. Creed: Rise To Glory is a more arcadey VR boxing experience, but it is still fun if you don’t mind being interrupted.
Compared to Thrill Of the Fight, Creed can be a bit of a let down for those who want a very real experience. However Creed: Rise to Glory looks very good, and is a fun romp of its own, especially for those that want to box in VR without sweating through their headset.
