Description: A FPP fantasy VR demo for movement controllers (currently only Vive), in which you can sword fight skeletons and cast spells by really speaking to the microphone (optional – read manual on Steam to activate).

You can also shoot medieval guns, bows, throw stuff at your enemies, summon and command your wooden golem minions. Its core is a small sandbox, where you can train your skills, but it also has a quest to complete!

Review: While this is little more than a short experience to showcase the use of the Vives tracking controllers I still enjoyed playing it. The actions like sword swinging felt good and while it is all far from perfect it is free so you can give it some breathing room when it comes to quality. If you fancy something free to show people your new VR headset this is a good choice. The little ones might find it a bit scary, but anyone over the age of 12 should be fine.
