Description: Defense Grid 2’s amazing tower-defense strategy gameplay comes to mobile VR. Defense Grid 2 pushes premium mobile VR gaming to its limits – utilizing the latest VR technology, Defense Grid brings Rift quality gaming to mobile devices. We recommend updating your Android device to the latest OS version and drivers to ensure the best possible gaming experience.

Defense Grid has long been the gold standard of tower defense strategy games, and the VR version is one of the most comfortable VR games you can purchase while giving you a physical sense of the action around you that really enhances your strategic awareness of the game. Defense Grid 2 supports the mobile VR controllers, standard headset controls, or a Bluetooth Gamepad so you can play the way you want to play.

Review: I have said it before and I am happy to say it again, a strategy games in VR never fail to look amazing and feel amazing to play and Defense Grid 2 is one of the very best of them. With some beautiful graphics, a real deep level of strategic gameplay and even a lot of gameplay hours to justify its own asking price. Appart from a multiplayer mode this game is pretty much perfect! If you love tower defence games, you will feel right at home playing Defense Grid 2: Enhanced VR Edition and the VR aspect really does gives it a new level of realism leading to even more immersion (it wasn’t made for VR initially). I would recommend this game to any fan of the genre or anyone wanting to see just how good a VR strategy game can get.
