Shadow BoXR is a rhythm boxing game intended to make working out fun. Punch the targets and dodge the obstacles all while rocking out to your favorite music. This is your workout built by you for you.
My winter sanity savior! I actually found this game through a reddit post and the game developer seemed like a good dude. I thought I would give it a try. I go to cardio boxing classes 4 times a week and then usually go for long walks on my days off. During the winter months it’s hard to really get the motivation to go outside and walk when its near 0 degrees. Now I’ve found a great alternative for my off days with this game. It’s a fun boxing meets beat saber/guitar hero type game. There’s a lot of community stuff you can download as well. I found my first 4-5 times playing I was downloading songs and trying them out on different difficulties to find what works best for me. There are really good accessibility features as well that can make this game more approachable to people with injuries or disabilities. For me, I use some of those features to sort of fine tune difficulty for certain songs. Maybe the song is too easy on hard but too difficult on expert- try expert with jabs only selected. I love that I can put all the songs with my preferred difficulties into a playlist and then just hit go and work out for an hour. Really wishing the developer success with this game. Thank you so much for helping me get through this winter with my sanity still intact!
Great VR fitness addition/alternative! Was looking FOREVER for an addition/alternative to Supernatural and Les Mills and this one is my new go to! The game play is intuitive, customizable and the ability to download community songs/maps through the app is a welcomed addition. Must try.

お勧めできない。インディースタジオのファンなので、本当はポジティブなレビューを残したかったのだが、どうしてもできない。1. 身長キャリブレーションが非常にずれている。私は身長1,65mですが、キューは腹部の高さにあります。2. キューの当たり外れが大きい。私はこの手のアプリをエキスパート/上級者レベルで何度もプレイしているので、自分が初心者だとは思っていない。それなのに、ここでの私のヒットのほとんどは、つながらないか、"Wrong way "というメッセージが表示される。連打が続かない。3. カスタムコンテンツはしばしばアプリをブロックする。このエラーが表示されたら、アプリを再起動する必要があります。検索機能で操作不能になり、クエスト3から閉め出されたこともある。現状ではこのアプリをお勧めすることはできませんが、開発者がこのアプリに取り組み続けることを願っています。

Can't recommend it. I really wanted to leave a positive review, as I'm a fan of indie studios, but I just can't.
1. Height calibration is very off. I'm 1,65m IRL and the cues are at an abdomen level for me. 2. Cues are very hit and miss. I play tons of these sort of apps at an Expert/Advanced level, so I wouldn't consider myself a noob. And yet, most of my hits here either don't connect or I get a "Wrong way" message. I can't keep a streak of hits going. 3. Custom content often blocks the app. I get a message on the lines of "if you see this error you have to restart the app". The search function once blocked me out of my Quest 3 because controls became unresponsive.
Can't recommend this app at the current state, but I hope the dev keeps working on it.
Saved my life. This game gave me my life back. I was a boxer for several years until a severe back injury put me out. I thought I'd never be able to get back into, but this game - alongside months of physical therapy - gave me hope and allowed me to pace myself during my recovery. It's just outstanding and a daily part of my morning routine that I greatly look forward to. I just want the creator to know that this labor of love has made a huge difference for me and is enormous amounts of fun. Thank you so much!

W. Great game, great MR integration and lots of custom songs
Most Fun Workout Ever. I had previously used VR purely for gaming purposes until I stumbled across this game. It makes fitness so fun and gets rid of the (artificial) barrier. I can start a workout on demand in under a minute. So fun, so worth it.
Love Letter. Still don't know how i overlooked this one so long, no subscription, Passthrough and lots of other good stuff. This game saves me alot of money and time, thanks much.
Totally Customizable! It's fun with different types of punches. You can make it more intense, set workouts, all kinds of customizations. The developer is constanly working on the game so more to come but worth checking out for a variety in your VR workout at a bargain price.
The fitness app I've been looking for. Love this game. The idea of jabbing and hooking in time with the notes of your songs is great fun and can be a tough workout. And no subscription, thank goodness. It's like Beat Saber, but much more fitness focused, which I appreciate.
To me, it is perfect hand in hand with TOTF as an exercise routine. I also really appreciate the mode "leg day" so you can really work on your lower half. I often have to wipe down my headset playing, and it definitely gets your heart rate pumping.
That being said, there are two issues I've run into, and I do have a suggestion to further improve the gameplay:
- The walls: There have been times where I've ducked in time to avoid walls, but it doesn't seem to register and my combo breaks. Not sure if I'm too slow to duck but it often feels like I'm not. On a side note, I think it would really help if the walls were transparent so you can see the upcoming blocks behind, like in Beat Saber. There's been a few times where I missed a note after ducking as the walls block your view. - When it comes to hooks and uppercuts, sometimes, it doesn't register my hits. I was wondering if this is because I'm not using enough force? Or is timing just needed? I'm able to hit the jabs just fine, however.
Apart from that, I'm really happy with the rest of game and what you've got going so far. It is definitely a good fitness companion, and it's up there with other games like TOTF and Les Mills BC that get you drenched in sweat!
Not appealing.. I own almost every audio box/rhythm game. But this one is still very unpolished related to customization, physics/mechanics/hit/dodge ergonomy, rhythm, songs, beatmaps, SFX.. Often I get stuck on "Loading..." message to have to restart the game. Song preview is too short to evaluate one for later use.. Custom MP3s would be better than low quality 3rd party beatmaps..
Custom Songs?. I've not played much of it yet but from what I have played it seems good. Just a question though - does it support mp3 files you add yourself or does it specifically need to be Beat Saber maps? I've added mp3s to files/Resources/Songs but they are not showing. Will not be requesting refund regardless cause I really like layout and from reading reviews, the developer seems really responsive and is willing to listen to customers - and no paywall surprises! Very interested in seeing the progression. Keep up the amazing work!
Just got the game! So this is just a question how do I play the community songs? I download them in the menu but when I create a playlist the songs dont show up
