The WhatsNext verdict
If you want a physically demanding VR brawler where every punch, dash, and improvised throw feels embodied, Underdogs delivers a particularly distinctive combat loop. Play it if you are willing to learn its arm-based movement and accept a compact, repetitive roguelike structure.

The setup
What you are walking into
Wrap yourself in 5 tons of metal and go smashing through a dark scene of underground mech fights! Bash, crush, maul and rip apart enemy bots and mechs - it’s full-on metal-on-metal violence in this first of its kind physics-based mech brawler. But rampaging through the pits ain’t all - this is a Roguelike. Gear up with 100+ items including power tools like chainsaws and wrecking balls, hire hackers and saboteurs, hustle and deal with the gangsters and psychos who run these streets as you claw your way up the food chain.
