Fruit Ninja VR
Fruit Ninja VR is a virtual reality adaptation of the fan-favorite mobile game by the same name. Grab hold of a katana (or two) and start slicing flying fruit. Rack up combo points by slicing into multiple pieces of produce in one swing, but watch out! It's not just fruit flying past your head. There are bombs in the mix that you must avoid, so keep an eye on what you're swinging at. Fruit Ninja VR features five game modes, such classic mode with one sword, and dual-wielding mode with two swords, and arcade mode in which you have a limited time to slice as much fruit as you can. The game also features zen mode, which doesn't have bombs, so you can relax as you swing. And if you're looking for a challenge, survival mode introduces cannons that fire at you.
