Description: Enter the world of Akirion, a once peaceful land on the brink of extinction by a deadly epidemic that transforms the living into flesh-craving beasts called Pretas*. Survivors are now organizing into militias to defend their home, but due to the lack of capable warriors, Akirots are desperately hiring mercenaries, someone like you. Explore the forsaken continents, collect materials, craft powerful weapons and defeat blood-thirsty pretas in order to save Akirion and reveal the dark truths of the plague’s origin. Inspired by video games such as Dark Souls, Diablo, and Monster Hunters, Preta: Vendetta Rising is designed to be a challenging hack-and-slash action game featuring various multiplayer gameplay!
Review: RPG games are something that could be amazing in VR, but very little RPG games have been made for VR. Preta: Vendetta Rising takes a stab at it in a hack and slash style very much like Diablo or other games similar to that. For the price, this is a grand adventure and while the pace of the game is a little slow I do feel that only adds to the overall length of how it feels. Just look past the repetitiveness and the frustrating controls and find a game that you can lose yourself in for hours if not weeks on end. But do make sure you have your VR legs as it can be extremely nauseating as it was clearly not made for VR from the ground up.
