Review: Mortars VR is an online action-strategy game in which you need to destroy your opponent’s tower. This could easily have been a crap game, but the developers have put some really thought into making it work and while it is a little basic in the graphics department the gameplay is king here. This not only means it is fun to play, but also oddly immersive and challenging, especially when played with friends. OK, so there aren’t any other players online, but there are AI bots to play aginst for us single players. Besides, it is cheap enough to get a friend to download it at the same time. I will even go so far as to say the game is a little too cheap!
