You’ve played MTG and Hearthstone and now want to play card battle games in VR. You want to play Dragon Front! It’s an awesome card battle game I first played on Gear VR and it’s also free to play the tutorial and first campaigns on the Oculus Rift!
Dragon Front has brilliant animation, effects and sound. You can play head-to-head online or in single player Conquest story mode. It appears from reviews it has in-game purchasing to advance and get other packs. Just so you know.
I’ve played Ultrawings quite a bit on Gear VR and it’s also available on Oculus Rift.
If you would like to try flying Ultralight aircraft with missions, Ultrawings is an awesome choice. It really feels like you’re flying the vehicles. You’re required to go through the starting-up procedures, fly around courses and land correctly.
I had about 10 lessons to pilot Cessna aircraft about 20 years ago and now that’s too expensive to do, I love flying in VR. There’s reviews from real pilots saying this is pretty close to the real thing. I loved it on Gear VR and I can’t wait to try it on my Oculus Rift!
Herobound: First steps by Gunfire Games is a free game for the Gear VR. This is an introductory adventure to the bigger Herobound games (at least one of which is also on the Oculus Rift).
If you like Link games and are looking for something similar in VR, Herobound is probably your best choice. I’ve only played The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii so I’m not the biggest expert on the subject, but this is certainly a fun adventure and it won’t scare the kids, either!
Best played with a Bluetooth controller, you start off in your little hut and head out into the big world. Soon you’ll find yourself fighting off zombies and skeletons, goblins and the like. You get a great selection of weapons. Starting with a sword, you soon end up with a bow to shoot enemies far away.
It’s not too hard to play. You soon acclimatize to the controls and are fighting your way through the dungeons.
You’ve got nothing to lose, so why not give it a go? 🙂
If you like racing micro-machines around tracks at blazingly-fast speeds, try out Blaze Rush for Gear VR and Oculus Rift!
You will definitely want to use a Bluetooth controller with this. I tried with the Gear VR controller and it wasn’t fun, but with a BT controller, there’s TONS of fun to be had!
Pick your car and race around tracks. It’s on Windows and Mac OS as well on Steam, but to get the best experience out of it you’ll want to try in VR!
Once you’ve played a couple of tracks, you get upgrades for your vehicle. Randomly, turbo boost packs will drop onto the track. Pick one up and hit the BOOOOOST to zoom ahead.. just watch those sharp corners! There’s also rail-guns which drop from the sky. Pick one up and blast the leader off the track and take his place!
It has multiplayer so you can play with up to 8 opponents on the internet or play on your LAN. Get awarded medals for tricks and antics. Get the highest score, but still come last to gain one medal. Take out the leader and have the most points when you cross the line first for another medal. It sure is fast-paced heart-racing fun!
Have you ever played the PC game MYST and are dying for something like this for your Gear VR? Well, try out Land’s End! It’s made by the same crew who made Monument Valley.
In this experience, you move around a strange land, solving puzzles and working out how to awaken a lost civilization. There’s no enemies. It’s all about using your noggin to figure out what the game needs.
I wouldn’t say it’s a complicated game, but it sure is a fun experience you need to try out for yourself.
