VR version of Fruit Ninja slices its way onto HTC Vive

Swiping several fingers across a smartphone or tablet screen to perfectly dissect a high-velocity fruit is exciting, but imagine being able to swing one's arms as if holding a real sword, like a real ninja instead.

Well, imagine no more. The full VR version of the game has just landed on the Steam platform, albeit in development form for HTC's premium headset. Players will be able to fight with two swords -- one in each hand -- or swing a single sword with double the speed and strength with a double-handed technique.

Halfbrick Studios, the company behind the game, is aiming to get the VR version perfect by October and as well as the HTC Vive will be developing a version for the Oculus Rift, too.
