Description: Test your limits in an atmospheric battle arena by dodging enemy projectiles, scoring points, earning action points with combos and using them to ultimately crush your foes with counter-attacks. Enjoy the perks of slowing down time, teleporting around an open world, even taking over and steering a ship in the middle of a mighty ocean!
Choosing between five intensity difficulties and two playing styles offers a wide range of experience with a chance to gradually improve your skills. Compete as an individual while also representing your country and continent on the leaderboards.
Review: ShowdownVR is an odd game for sure. You seem to be in the middle of a sea battle and you need to dodge all sorts of lasers while trying to take down the enemy ships. You can be on small islands or on a moving ship (which of course is a lot more nauseating). and that is about it. It might not sound like much, but I have to say it’s way more fun than you might think and I would even go so far as to call it oddly exciting at times. For just £1.69 this is well worth a look and indeed it looks amazing. It really is one of those rare gems of the older Steam VR games.
