Until You Fall is a VR fitness game that combines close weapon combat and magical spells in a roguelite, hack-and-slash style. Players engage in fast-paced, kinetic battles where they attack, block, cast spells, and dodge enemies in a neon fantasy world. The gameplay involves significant physical activity, including wide and rapid sword swings, arm extensions, squatting, sidestepping, and rotating the body to face enemies from multiple directions, providing a full-body workout.

In terms of fitness intensity, Until You Fall offers a moderate to high level of exercise. The Virtual Reality Institute of Health and Exercise rated it at an average of 6.5 METs (metabolic equivalents), comparable to the energy expenditure of playing competitive singles tennis. Peak activity during gameplay can reach 8.1 METs, indicating vigorous exercise. The physical demand increases with game difficulty and player progression, making it suitable for both beginners and more experienced VR fitness enthusiasts. The game also supports seated combat, though this reduces the exercise intensity significantly.

Players and reviewers note that the game can be quite physically demanding, especially at higher difficulty levels like Nightmare, where combat becomes fast-paced and intense. It is considered a good mid-intensity workout for VR fitness beginners and can be part of a daily workout routine for some users. However, its intensity may be slightly less than other VR fitness games like Beat Saber or Pistol Whip at their hardest levels, but it still provides a solid workout that gets players sweating.

Overall, Until You Fall is praised for its immersive combat mechanics and effective gamification of fitness, making exercise feel like an engaging and adrenaline-pumping experience rather than a chore. It is available on Meta Quest and Oculus Rift platforms for around $24.99.
