Description: VR Scape is a semi-open world RPG aimed for putting you right on the medieval battlefield. Work your way up from a lowly village peasant to one of the mightiest warriors in the land and one of the last remaining spellcasters. Fight the hordes of Goblins, Orcs, necromancers, and skeletons. How do you want to fight? With a sword, two swords, a giant sword? Or how about a staff, using magic unlike any other? Or perhaps the ever classic bow and arrow, fighting enemies from afar before they have the chance to hurt you? The choice is yours. It is your destiny to clear these monsters from the land and claim victory!
Review: I’m not going to try and put a shine on it, VR Scape is a basic game at best. The graphics are pretty basic as is the gameplay, it is all so Minecraft in style. Having said that, this game is big, bold and ambitious and while far from finished (even though it was last updated years ago) there is still a lot to love in this game and you can easily get 15-20 hours gameplay out of it. But to do that you have to look past the bugs, past the annoyances and get into it. Personally I wouldn’t want anyone to pay £10.99 for this, but grab it in a sale or in a bundle and you will have a raw game with a lot of gameplay inside of it.
