Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable v1.0 Who’s Ready to Rumble?

The fight is back with Attack on Titan VR, and for users of the Metx/Oculus, they can face these giants head-on!

UNIVRS, Inc.

To say virtual reality is dead depends on which industry giants you ask. As for Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable, now in version 1.0, developers feel ready to unleash a version of this video game to the masses. With a frame rate issues corrected, added platforms to play in and now here as early access. Developers have added a few new features, and hope fans of the anime will check out this game on the Meta Quest. This first-person action-adventure VR platformer now has the final three chapters in this epic saga to play through. There’s also the newly added two-player Co-op mode, so friends can now work together to take down vicious Titans and save humanity.

This property is based on the manga/anime written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. In this apocalyptic world, Eran Yeager, vows to terminate giants who are threatening to destroy the last vintages of humanity. They love eating humans, and that’s never good. This series ran in the Japanese magazine, Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine (from September 2009 to April 2021), and has since been adapted to anime, live-action, video games and novels featuring other heroes joining in the fight. This latest only adds to the experience by providing a first person perspective that hasn’t been done before.

From the Press Release:

Join the Scout Regiment as an aspiring recruit and ready for battle. Quickly manoeuvre across building tops with Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and change directions mid-air to avoid towering threats. Topple titans, complete timed objectives, unlock powerful new gear, and protect humanity from extinction.

With Ironstrike VR, What’s Your Favourite Weapon to Fight With?

The ability to really immerse players in a proper fantasy world of fighting hordes of invaders in Ironstrike VR can be fun.

Ironstrike VR certainly delivers a fun mediaeval combat experience as a four player co-op roguelike adventure on the Meta Quest. It’s about what groups can do as they face off against AI opponents in a simply rendered open world environment where the elements meet. While photo-realism isn’t the goal in the design of these realms, what’s presented so far hints at the possibilities should developer E McNeill want to re-skin this game in a dungeon crawl environment.

For now, it’s limited to some stunning dawn and dusk renders, and as for the swing and parry system, I feel more work is needed. One should be able to move the body instead of shaking a joystick to dodge blows. I found that standing still to smack down enemies is an issue. I should be able to move the body around, and on the Quest 2, some of it tracked. While the authentic combat experience isn’t always there, I love the concept, and was fighting my foes in waves. The number of opponents faced steadily grows as you progress through the game. At the time of writing, I’ve encountered as many as three at one time. There may be more, but I haven’t gotten there yet!
