![]() This one is pretty simple but still effective. ![]() Once you finish doing this, switch shield to your other arm and do the same thing so you get a balanced exercise The swinging motion with the shield is similar to chest flys with dumbells that workout both your chest and your arms and your other arm will be primarily punching and grabbing. We’re going to alternate shield bashes with our punches for a full round against one of the many group options. We’re going to be using both here to get our sweat going. Equipping the shield lets you bash anyone in your path as well as using your other hand to deal damage with your fists. There are two ways to get a great workout using the shield. This nifty little mod gives you the iconic shield of Captain America to fight with, complete with the ability to call it back to you after you throw it. I’ll breakdown how each mod works for you. Yup, you’re not just limited to medieval weaponry and Star Wars in Blade and Sorcery Marvel comes to play as well. A brutal visual feast for sure, but this is a great way to get your core involved in Blade and Sorcery and works your arms and legs as well if you want to jump into your finishing blow. Once down, swing the hammer up and over your head then chop downward to finish them off. As an enemy approaches, use two hands to hold the hammer and swing in a golf club like motion to knock an enemy off their feet. That’s the movement we’re going to do here. With a hammer though, you merely sweep them off their feet, priming them for the killing blow. You see, when you attack an enemies legs with a blade, it just cuts right through. The basis of this workout is to utilize these blunt weapons’ sweep function. This one doesn’t require mods to act out, but there are some fantastic hammer based weapons available for mods too such as ones from Game of Thrones, Marvel etc. It’s a bit of a violent way to get a muscle burn in but hey, throw on your best Darth Vader impression and use the Star Wars Battles mod to set the scene complete with music too, if you’re doing this workout, you’ve been turned to the dark side. You’ll be hurling entire groups of enemies around like some kind of killer conductor and you’ll find the motions you use to pick opponents up and slam them down are identical to bicep curls and pulldown exercises that workout your entire upper body. Use only the force push and pull mechanic to fight. Using weighted gloves, enter an arena with no weapons equipped, and begin a round. While you’re wielding your lightsaber, you also have access to a force pull and push type of power. It’s been a dream of Star Wars fans for years to feel what’s it’s like to wield a lightsaber in real life. This swat away and attack mechanic works your triceps, forearms, and biceps depending on where you’re blocking from and you can select an endless mode with sharp AI and play this way until you tire out. After you deflect, employ strictly horizontal and vertical sword swings. With your shield, you can swat away incoming attacks. While your newly aggressive opponents come at you, you must limit yourself to a defend, then attack mentality. This mod changes the AI in the game to become far more aggressive than the jog up to you and die AI that the normal game tends to employ. How this workout goes is you equip a one-handed sword and shield and take on the hardest waves of the sharp AI mod. Plenty of VR games have a sword and shield mechanic, but Blade and Sorcery is the only one that truly has any feel of physics and weight to it. ![]() These workouts are not for the faint of heart though, Blade and Sorcery is one of the most violent and brutal VR games around and this workout will involve some pretty gory scenes, continue accordingly Sword and Shield with Sharp AI Not only do these mods help make the game more fun to play, but they can also turn your gameplay sessions into quite the workout as well. Whether you fancy Star Wars battles, Game of thrones weapon sets, flying around with Iron Man blasters, or taking down enemies with Samurai weapons, the modding world of Blade and Sorcery has you covered. Although just a combat simulator, the fantastic modders of the world have transformed it into something else entirely. A lot of titles think that flailing your arm weakly with a sword is enough to justify taking down an enemy. While tons of full, story-driven titles have shown off impressive physics and combat systems of their own, no other game has managed to match the physicality of Blade and Sorcery. One of VR’s shining achievements in melee combat so far has been Blade and Sorcery. ![]() In fact, it was one of the toughest platformers around at a time when Nintendo didn’t shy away from making games that provided even the most seasoned of gamers with a challenge. Not only that, but it was a precise, fun and demanding platformer. Rare were somehow able to deliver 3d rendered character models – the first of its kind for the SNES - and luscious, detailed backgrounds. This was a ground-breaking, technical achievement for its time, considering the limitations of the 16 bit SNES. From the continuation of the Donkey Kong franchise to his playable characters in Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, it all started here. It’s also the game that put Donkey Kong in the limelight for the first time and standardized the look of the Donkey Kong character and how he appears in every Nintendo game he's been in. In many ways, Donkey Kong Country kept the SNES going when the PS1 and Sega Saturn released in 1994, as it managed to retain and even build consumer interest in Nintendo’s console. While primitive by current standards, this was one of the best games from Nintendo’s first attempt at handheld gaming and is deserving of its legacy. When repeated four times, one for each lock, the game was completed. You then have to climb down one of the ropes, avoiding birds crossing your path, to unlock the chain. Once you have one of the keys, it would move to one of the keyholes on the chain. You are required to climb to the top of the screen while avoiding electrical wires. to collect four keys and free Donkey Kong, who is chained up. I mean, not really, but it was a pretty cool invention for its time. It may look boring by today’s standards, but when this bad boy came out in 1983, you felt like a rock star taking this thing on the bus. If you're not already aware, these were small LCD devices which featured one game on each. Due to this, it was imperative that Nintendo make these games enjoyable and with as much replay value as possible.ĭonkey Kong 2 is one of those games. We're going truly old-school now with Game and Watch, one of the earliest Nintendo handheld consoles. Oh well, back to swinging on vines and grabbing bananas it is then. Math, Nintendo didn’t release any further games for the “education series” and seemed to have dropped the concept entirely. Math was that it just wasn’t a whole lot of fun or very educational. However, with criticism levied at the tetchy control system and featuring math problems that were far too simple, even for small children, the consensus of Donkey Kong Jr. It was a noble move by Nintendo to provide a video game that would be both entertaining and educational. Just like the Donkey Kong arcade game, it required players to hop between vines and grab numbers in order to find the answer to the sum. ![]() Math was part of the Nintendo “education series” for the NES and requires players to enter the solution to math problems, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, to score points. 17ĭo you know what kids find fun after a long day of school, where they’ve already been looking at math textbooks? Well, I don’t think it’s coming home and sitting down to a video game which, as the name suggests, requires you to solve math problems.ĭonkey Kong Jr. However, the Donkey Kong franchise has seen some bizarre iterations and this is a look at some of his biggest outings, from the absolutely sterling to those DK would rather not talk about. ![]() He was Mario’s first nemesis but they have since put their differences aside, which has freed up Donkey Kong to star in many Nintendo games over the last thirty years.ĭonkey Kong games are generally much tougher platformers than that of the Mario series and are not for the faint-of-heart or those who want a relaxing experience. He’s a big gorilla with a penchant for bananas and balloons who wears a rather dashing red-tie. So, here’s the basic facts about Donkey Kong. It seems strange, considering that he has been one of Nintendo’s longest serving mascots,and in many ways, he’s been there from the start, playing a role in one the company’s first forays into the video game industry. When someone says, Nintendo, you’re likely to first think of the iconic Mario or perhaps Link, from The Legend of Zelda series, but hardly anyone mentions Donkey Kong. |
