Dragon Fist: VR Kung Fu is an indie title from Ben Olding Games, first released on Steam in December 2021 with a Meta Quest port following in 2022 and now also available on Pico. The game pays stylised homage to golden-era Hong Kong and Chinese martial arts cinema from the 1970s through the 1990s, with original archetypal characters rather than licensed film IP: a wise old master, a Shaolin monk, a Bruce Lee-inspired fighter, a samurai, a ninja, and a young gifted student among the 40-strong roster.

The combat system is genuinely distinctive within VR fighting games: opponents have exactly the same controls as the player, with no built-in AI advantage. On easier difficulties, opponents simply have reduced strength, speed, and reaction time rather than the game cheating in their favour. Pressure point targeting is simulated, meaning strikes to specific body locations (eyes, ribs, throat) produce corresponding in-game effects, adding a tactical layer beyond simple button-mashing on higher difficulties.
