Smashing The Battle VR

Topping our charts is Smashing The Battle VR video game. Developed by Studio HG, this game is available to play on Steam for only $10.99. Smashing The Battle VR belongs to the traditional hack-and-slash genre but is completely overhauled in terms of its gameplay aesthetics and visuals.

Taking place in the year 2085, the game puts players in the shoes of one of the two iconic female protagonists. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that in a multiplex factory, all of the employed construction robots have been hacked under some mysterious circumstances. As it turns out, the hacked robots start to attack the factory’s workers and you are their only hope.

Both of Smashing The Battle VR’s female protagonists, Sarah O’Connell and Mary Lucy, have distinct fighting styles and stories. Sarah is the veteran in dealing large amounts of damage while Mary has the support of her loyal gigantic mech robot. Smashing The Battle VR also has a good replay value since the game’s story will unfold differently depending on what hero character you choose.

The VR support only further hypes up the conflict and battle between you and the compromised construction robots. Do you have what it takes to destroy the corrupt robots and bring a sigh of relief to the factory’s human workers?

Alice Mystery Garden

Available for only a mere $4.99, Alice Mystery Garden delivers way more than what it asks for. Developed by AMG Games, Alice Mystery Garden is available to play on Steam. It is an action-puzzle video game that seamlessly and creatively merges with VR to deliver players a one-of-a-kind experience.

Alice Mystery Garden puts players in the shoes of Alice, a young wandering girl who somehow stumbles upon the wondrous land of Alice Mystery Garden. Now, with seemingly no way out, players must guide Alice to find an exit route. As such, Alice Mystery Garden takes players on a thrilling but satisfying journey as they help Alice clear the stages safely.

The game is played from both player’s top-down and Alice’s in-world perspectives, where each perspective is useful in certain situations. The goal is to seek and collect all 5 scattered looking-glass fragments in each stage. There are a total of 17 stages in Alice Mystery Garden. Each stage has a number of seemingly inaccessible areas but can be navigated by moving objects around the places.

As such, in this creative action-puzzle Alice Mystery Garden video game, can you be smart enough to find and collect all 5 scattered looking-glass fragments and ultimately help Alice come back safe and sound?

Heavens Tournament

The cheapest of all on our list, at just $3.99 only, Heavens Tournament is your truly state-of-the-art VR fighting video game. Developed by InitiativeVR, Heavens Tournament delivers players with a top-notch realistic fighting simulation experience that is as immersive as you can think of!

Unlike other games, where you can quickly knock off opponents by quickly punching them in their faces, Heavens Tournament takes a vastly different approach. The game practically enables players to use full body movement because this time the enemy is different.

In Heavens Tournament, opponents are just as smart as you are. They will block your attacks and even counter your moves if they spot a weakness in your posture. The game’s combat is very realistic where you will actually have to keep your guard up, dodge, hit hard and make smart decisions.

Just keep in mind, in order to play this game to the fullest, you would need a wide-open obstacle-free space. As per official documentation, “a room set up and 2 towers are required for this game with the minimum space of at least 2m by 1.5m or 6.5 feet by 5 feet”

So, make sure to comply with the above requirement so that you don’t hurt yourself while going for that wide horizontal swing at your opponent.

Hop Step Sing! Astral Piece
