The Wizards: VR magical roomscale combat with gesture casting
42Gameplay from The Wizards, a VR spellcasting game where you use gesture casting to summon spells to fight orcs.
The Wizards is a $19.99 VR early access game that supports the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with Touch. It uses roomscale controls with hub based teleportation, although some levels don't have any teleportation hubs and you can only move in roomscale. In The Wizards you cast spells by holding down certain buttons on the VR motion controls and doing gestures in roomscale. The Wizards also has a system of progression where you get points based on your performance in each level and you can spend them to get upgrades that change how your spells work.
