Description: DEFCON VR allows you to spectate DEFCON games in the comfort of your own virtual War Room. Join others and marvel at total global annihilation as nuclear missiles arc over the globe on their path to destruction.
Play as a General hidden deep within an underground bunker. Enter the Conference Room and join other players. When you’re ready, select a DEFCON game and go to the War Room to spectate games where players fight for survival. Watch the strategies, alliances, and eventual betrayals as Bombers, Subs, and Ground Silos release their deadly payloads.
DEFCON VR allows you to do all of this in a fully interactive virtual environment. Discuss plans around a holographic globe, mark attacks on the wall sized world map, or huddle around small screens all showing the action. Watch Armageddon unfold as everybody dies…
Review: Maybe I was just not clever enough to work out what DEFCON VR was all about, but without any instructions or tutorial, I was never going to. This is an only strategy game of sorts in which other players in VR can join and watch the game taking place. To be honest you could tell me this game is about anything and I would have to believe you. It looks OK I suppose and you don’t need me to tell you there are no other players to play against these days, but you can always play about on your own. But play what I have no idea. At least it is free so you can give a go yourself.
