What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want Era of Combat: Boxing to be the best VR multiplayer experience that it can possibly be. While significant testing has been completed to date, the process is ongoing while we balance, improve, and add content along our roadmap. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of VR multiplayer sports as the genre continues to mature. Our products absolutely benefit from the feedback of engaged players such as yourself!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“EOC Boxing is well along its development track and moving quickly. We expect the final content releases to be available within eight-ten months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Greater player customization, multiple avatars of gender and race, server moderated multiplayer cash, careers, and titles. A large expansion of the single player mode (we started with multiplayer in mind and only included a single very early/rough AI for some player target practice at this time). We'll be launching a number of POLISHED AI opponents to make you sweat on your way to the top in upcoming free content upgrades as we move toward completing our Early Access roadmap. But BE AWARE that our current AI is very basic and for target practice ONLY! Content updates will add finesse. Also, our hit reactions are still on first draft. So you can play the AI or multiplayer but gloves and arms don't register reactions YET, but they soon will. You can hit them, but do not expect the polish of games that have years in development. We've been at this only for six months with one developer :-) With complex game mechanics at the core of the product, we want to ensure EOC strives for realism while finding the balance in playability. We trust that Early Access already offers players a stable and challenging multiplayer experience that is above all entertaining.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Full multiplayer VR support is stable and enjoyable but still VERY ROUGH! We have run several tournaments and implemented feedback from participants and feel that we have reached a level of credibility with the gameplay that can be enjoyed by others ahead of our full release. Early Access also comes with a basic (and certainly not yet fine-tuned) training mini-game and EARLY beta AI opponent which we are testing. Do NOT expect much from the AI yet, he'll be a target for you and swing at you, but he is also first draft and ONLY there for target practice. We'll be polishing him up and adding more AI during Early Access. join our discord for details on everything that is coming and our growing EOC community, we would love to hear form you.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price after release to approximately $29 USD if we hear from those who have supported us through Early Access that the experience warrants the value. We’re having fun building it, so we hope you’ll have fun playing it!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community engagement has been and continues to be critical in the development of Era of Combat: Boxing. We will be using Steam forums as well as Discord to engage with our players (seeking insight, comments, and critiques) while providing timely updates with patches and features as development steams forward at an exciting pace. We would encourage players to be thoughtful with their early reviews and consider the warnings that we have presented here before diving in with a purchase of this Early Access game.”

************************************************************
READ BEFORE YOU PURCHASE EARLY ACCESS
************************************************************
Warning: This game is focused on the PvP multiplayer experience only. Solo play is in alpha and NOT currently recommended. PLEASE read through our materials in the discussions including "What to Expect From Early Access". You can also watch our casual walk-through on YouTube (and above) with the Dev and remember that this is an EARLY ACCESS game. If you are interested in getting in early and helping with feedback about a multiplayer VR boxing game then this is for you! Join our Discord and make sure you have some friends to play with because finding unscheduled PvP matches is still sporadic as our player base grows.

BE AWARE BEFORE BUYING:

- NO THUMBSTICK CONTROLS - this is intentional. Use your body to move around your space, to dodge, weave, etc.

- THE SINGLE PLAYER MODE IS UNDERDEVELOPED - we've focused almost ENTIRELY on PvP thus far. So please don't buy this game in Early Access if you just want to test yourself against the AI/Bots - you WILL be disappointed. Bot polishing is ongoing but secondary to the PvP experience.

- MULTIPLAYER WORKS WELL AND IS NEARING COMPLETION - but finding random players is unlikely at this point. Bring in friends to play with / join a community of fighters online, or it's unlikely you'll find PvP matches yet. A match scheduling system is now available, and crossplay is coming soon.

Finally, if you are purchasing this because you expect the feel of a boxing game that has many YEARS in development then please PASS for now. This game is less than EIGHTEEN MONTHS through development (with one dev). If you're joining us for Early Access, expect ROUGH, but please don't hold that against us in your reviews at this point - we have gone to great lengths to warn you. We're building this game because we love boxing and PvP, and we are learning as we go.

*NOTE that a dedicated Oculus/Meta/Quest2 version is now available in AppLab. Search "Era of Combat Boxing" or see our Discord for a link. Crossplay features between AppLab and this Steam version are also now available.
************************************************************

Use the solo training exercises, take on the AI, or jump right into what EOC Boxing was designed to do and challenge your friends to three different match types including exhibition, amateur or professional ranked fights where your reputation, stats, virtual cash, and boxer’s title is on the line.

EOC is a physically demanding game that will push you to improve your cardio and your core. But you'll need some space to add this energetic workout to your routine. Make sure you have at least 1.5m by 2m of unobstructed space to swing and then tell your family members to stand back - WAY back. Or better yet, pick up another headset and challenge them to a no-impact, no-holds-barred grudge match to prove your unconditional supremacy! (separate VR rooms highly recommended)

We want to stress once more that EOC is currently Early Access and we are looking for your feedback, so if you love boxing and don't mind giving us a glove (er hand), we're all ears about how we can make this game the best that it can possibly be.

What’s coming up in the very near future? We’re glad you asked! Greater player customization, multiple avatars of gender and race, server moderated multiplayer cash, careers, and titles. A large expansion of the single player mode (we started with multiplayer in mind and need some AI polish during Early Access to give you the solo challenge you deserve). We'll be launching a number of AI opponents to make you sweat on your way to the top in upcoming free content upgrades as we move toward completing our Early Access roadmap. You’ll progress through different venues and earn your place in the hall of champions.

EOC Boxing was designed from the ground up to support multiplayer VR and we want to ensure that EOC strives for realism while striking the balance in playability. We trust that Early Access already offers players a stable and challenging multiplayer experience that is above all else, entertaining.
