DJ Whip VR

This is an action and rhythm game that uses a shield and whip to keep the electronic music, rhythm, and melodies flowing. Use the shield to block incoming fire and the music whip to hit bombs and blasters out of the sky to move through the levels for points. Strike music components like vocal, synth, tops, to activate them and also to mute them.

Fitness Potential

DJ Whip VR uses arm movement to crack that whip and also to block. Move your whip arm quickly and block those bombs and blasters from that climbing score. This is also a good coordination game because you’ll have to aim in order to reach enemies and keep the music playing in customizable ways.

Titan Slayer II

Early access game. You’ll be fighting walking corpses and stories-tall titans across beautiful and frighteningly designed environments. Use a sword and gun for short range attacks and a bow for long range. Or use them however you like. Teleport around the game to live to fight in climactic boss battles.

Fitness Potential

A melee weapon like a sword is great for arm activity while full slices will keep the core from becoming weakened. Guns will use the arms but a bow and arrow set will keep the arms moving repetitively. The legs aren’t going to get much from the teleportation, but it is a game that is arm heavy and exciting for those that like taking down big burly titans.

VR Hero Sentry

This is an action and roleplaying game (ARPG) for VR where you take on the role of Wizard or Hunters. Hunters have a bow and arrow with Fire or Frost spell power that they deal damage to enemies and bosses with. Wizards conjure Arcane spells or Necromancy to hurt enemies. Customize your hero loadout and dial in their damage, power, regen, and other stats to become unstoppable.

Fitness Potential  

Shooting a bow and arrow and casting magic will use mostly upper body movement. This game is lefty and righty friendly for a balanced workout if you choose to do so. VR Hero Sentry is playable in room scale so leg use is only limited by the amount of play space you have and your ability to dodge and step away from attacks.
