Step into the fight of your life.

Immerse yourself in a gritty VR experience where your fists are your only weapons, and your will to survive is your greatest ally.

David vs. Goliath

You’re the underdog with nothing left to lose, taking on a corrupt system built to crush the weak. Every level you climb brings new enemies, faster moves, and a chance to master the martial arts principles of precision, speed, and resilience. Path of Fury is more than a game—it's a training ground for courage and determination.

Why Play Path of Fury?

Wing Chun-Inspired Combat: Fight like a true martial artist, honing skills that can even apply to the real world.

Intense VR Immersion: Feel every hit, block, and dodge in a world that pulls you in and won’t let go.

A Tower to Conquer: Each level tells a story, packed with challenges that push your mind and reflexes to the edge.

GAME FEATURES

Experience the essence of Kung Fu. The goal is to deliver the most powerful strikes and achieve quicker knockouts with the least effort possible, players will feel the progression after playing more and more sessions.

Linear experience but feels different each time. With a strong backstory, the game is designed to be very straightforward and to still surprise the player with new details and progression elements each time they play.

Essential training tool component. Patience pays off. Every enemy has a weakness that can be exploited, so the more you practice, the faster you’ll beat them.

The combat is in the sweet spot between authenticity and accessibility, designed with everyone in mind, with a focus on striking, while rewarding resistance precision and speed instead, just like in Kung-Fu.

The Lore Behind Path of Fury - Meet Tetsuo

Tetsuo is the man governing this quarter. Here, the outskirts are where he gets the money, mainly from the nightclubs, where he sells the products he bakes to feed the city. The streets outside the tower are pure chaos: gangs fighting for territory, thugs scraping by, and a police force too corrupt or powerless to restore order. Under the tower is where people live, underground, where Yakuza members keep peace and order among the addicts and gang members. Inside the tower is where the products are made, so that the higher floors can enjoy their parties and have fun while at the very top Tetsuo's men train all day and night to become the most powerful martial artists in the world, placed there to protect him from anyone who wants to tear his empire down. Here is where Tetsuo resides, watching over the world he's built, safe from anything that could get in his way. Until now, perhaps.
