Description: A VR Sandbox gun-building sim. Take modular weapon parts, snap them together and construct just about any kind of gun you can imagine! Think of ‘Pimp My Gun’, but in VR. Quick control summary: Grab objects with an outline, selects menu items when you’re pointing at them, and fire guns when held. Drop held objects, and open up the properties menu when used beside a gun part.
Review: I feel that ShotForge did have some good ideas if only there was a game to at least try the guns you have created. What you have here is little more than an interactive tech demo that allows you to create your own guns, using pieces. With something to play using that handmade gun, this would have been a great game, but just the joy of making your own gun out of parts is not enough to make this worth a download. It is free at least so everyone can try it, but I certainly wouldn’t pay anything for it anyway. Worth a look I suppose, just don’t expect any actual gameplay.
