Description: Rocket Armor is the most realistic and exciting flying experience in VR today! It features a completely new type of flight control system and manoeuvring capability – it’s like really flying using two huge rockets strapped to your arms! Rocket Armor suits you up in a suit of futuristic armour and sets you on a timed course thru space, hitting platform marks and manoeuvring through ring structures in ever more complex patterns while fighting off alien enemies with your laser and sword weapons. You fly with true freedom of movement and a full range of motion in space – all controlled by your powerful arm-mounted rockets. Feel the thundering acceleration as you shoot upward and then plunge back to earth, or power into a sharp turn at full throttle.
You learn the skills needed to fly the Rocket Armor and qualify as an Alpha Pilot. Fight and fly to complete all the levels and be prepared for more difficult and dangerous missions in the future. This is the ultimate free flight experience in VR (and a fantastic game)! So SUIT UP Alpha Pilot and join us for the Rocket Armor ride!
Review: The secret to enjoying ‘Rocket Armor’ is to stick with it. This is a game with a rather unique movement system and it will take you a while to get used to it. There is flying, racing and even slicing & shooting going on here making the game fun to play from start to finish as you never know what is up next. While it is low-polygon I found the graphics to be just about adequate to keep the immersion. This game isn’t amazing and there isn’t a whole lot of content, but for just £0.79 it’s well worth a look.
