Description: Hover Junkers is a VR with tracked controllers ONLY multiplayer shooter designed from the ground up for VR. Immerse yourself in a virtual world of drought-stricken future where junk hunters scavenge for scrap left behind. Choose from 17 different ships that range from tiny to huge to fit any size VR play area. Engage in multiplayer combat to claim scrap/loot and defend against enemy players. Use scrap to fortify your Junker from incoming fire. Physically dodge, hide, and shoot from behind the cover of your Junkers defences.

Review: Hover Junkers had the potential to be something extra special. It ticked all the right boxes, it was fun, looked great and had online multiplayer, plus the price point wasn’t too high. On paper, it should still be a top VR game. But sadly the people who used to play this have all moved on and now you are left with a game that you can hardly play unless you know other people with the same game. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a game that makes you happy you own a VR headset, but its time as sadly gone and these days it isn’t worth getting due to the lack of a single-player game and online players. (it might say on the Steam page that it has a single-player mode, but it doesn’t)
