I recently got underdogs for my quest 3, and I was expecting somewhere in between real steel, pacific rim, and (if it had a game) battlebots. I got not only that, but an excellent rougelite with a great soundtrack and visual style. It takes place in a cyberpunk 2077-esque world in which you (rigg) must help your brother (king) get into the last place controlled by humans, new brakka, before an ai called big sys hacks into his brain. you are trying to get in via underground mech fights in your mech called the gorilla. the controls match the mech perfectly, making you move by grabbing the ground and throwing yourself around the arena (like a gorilla, shockingly) and enemies. it also features a sandbox and challenge mode that's a lot like the map maker from portal 2. overall the game is awesome and totally worth the $30 price tag.

edit: Should also mention it is a great workout, I got the game a couple days ago and my shoulders and biceps feel like I dipped them in lava.

Am I the only one who saw the title, and was expecting a Super Nintendo or Genesis game based on the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon "Underdog"?

There's no need to fear! UNDERDOG is here!!!

This was a really informative and gripping watch as I sought to look up more about this well-made title: Underdogs VR Mech Fights are Insane

Can't wait for it to release on PSVR2!
