Description: Enjoy a beautiful day at the sunny beach, savor a majestic view on a mountain peak or feel the thrilling height of a skyscraper at night. Harness the wind and launch your stunt kite! Practice exciting maneuvers as your kite dances in the sky or leave gravity behind and draw figures in the blue with a smoke trail.

Take flight and glide in a faint breeze or steer your kite through a gusty wind. Learn to fly a sport kite in the comfort of the custom mode, where you can determine direction and speed of the wind. Challenge yourself with the Snake Mode, where precision flying is key. Prove your skills in the racy Outrun mode where you dodge and destroy remote-controlled airplanes chasing you.

Review: The Rift version of this game was far from perfect, but the Touch controllers provided valuable feedback and the whole “simulation” felt much more real. Playing it on a Gear VR is a lot easier to control because you play with a gamepad, but not having the feeling of holding the strings of the kite like you do with the Touch Controllers, it just doesn’t feel anywhere near as good.

Stunt Kite Masters is one of those games where practice makes perfect and to play this game well you will need a lot of practice indeed, but sadly most people would have given up on it well before that point which is a shame because there is a lot to love with Stunt Kite Masters, but you will have to work hard at it to discover that for yourself.
