Ring Fit Adventure

Ring Fit Adventure is a running and jumping adventure game you play with a resistance-based peripheral. You control your character with the circular Ring-Con in your hands and Leg-Strap on your leg so the game can translate that to your character's movement. It stands out for how it combines this novel workout with a surprisingly in-depth video game adventure.

Unlike other fitness games, this offers a video game challenge as well as an aerobic workout. You explore a fantasy adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Jog in place to traverse grass-swept plains, do overhead shoulder presses to attack enemies, and strike some yoga poses to refill your health meter.

It's a large fantasy world where you take on enemies with over 60 real-life exercises. Jog, Sprint, and high knee through over 100 levels in more than 20 worlds. Gather ingredients to craft in-game smoothies for temporary stat boosts. Earn in-game currency and unlock stat-boosting gear.

You can choose whether you want to go for a longer exercise session with bigger adventures or just drop in for some shorter exercise minigames suitable for most skill levels and schedules. It will also estimate your pulse rate with the built-in IR Motion Camera. And if you want to develop your own routine to follow, you can do that too as well as compare your progress through the game with the rest of the family.

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Start at the right level

Younger players might struggle with fast-paced action sequences, leading to frustration. Consider easy modes if available or take time to practise with them in two-player games where you can support each other.

Game mindfully

Some action sequences can overwhelm children with sensory sensitivity. Talk with your child about recognising when they feel overstimulated and what they can do to support their wellbeing, such as taking a break, updating graphic settings or reducing the game volume.

Use skills offline

Action games often require quick reaction times, quick thinking and good hand-eye coordination. Challenge your child to show off these skills with other activities when they take screen time breaks.

Skill level age

Suggested by Family Gaming Database

You need some strength to use the ring peripheral and good timing and co-ordination. Some activities are better suited to younger players.

Content rating

Rated PEGI 7 for Violence and Fear. This game contains turn-based battles between the player (a human) and fantasy creature or other humans. These battles feature over-the-top, cartoon-like violence. Characters react in unrealistic, sometimes comical ways to this violence and do not show any harm or injury from it. Next to that, it also features a final boss battle against a menacing, red-eyed enemy that could scare younger children.
