Ring Fit Adventure is a Nintendo Switch fitness RPG played at home with the Ring-Con and Leg Strap. If you want the same "exercise powers an adventure" idea on your phone, look at fitness RPGs that use your real steps and runs: Monster Walk turns daily steps into a monster adventure, and Run Legends turns walks and runs into co-op battles. Both are free.
