Description: Major League Gladiators is a 2-player co-op shooter for VR. Players take control of two classes, facing off against waves of enemies in an arena. The game attempts to use the immersive capabilities of Roomscale VR to create action-packed combat as well as true cooperation between players. Players will have to attempt to survive as many waves of enemies as possible by synergistically using their abilities as well as keeping each other’s health and ammunition up. In Major League Gladiators we concentrate on the coop experience. We want the players to really play together. They attack together and they support each other. Lone wolves won’t survive!
Review: I feel the first thing to talk about with ‘Major League Gladiators’ is the terrible nausea levels. This is not just a game in which you need your “VR Legs” you need a stomach of pure steel! You also don’t need me to tell you that there is no-one online playing this any more so you are stuck with the single-player mode only. The game itself looks very low-polygon in a Tron style and move along at quite a fast pace, but it Is the action that does let this game down a little bit and it just feels lame and empty, but I am willing to bet it is a lot more fun when played with friends. At the end of the day, it is free and well worth a look (provided you have the stomach for it.)
