Description: SWAT Academy puts you to the test as you master the weapons and tactics needed to become the best of the best. Hone your skills in the intense combat training simulations, face off against waves of hostile targets, and survive the onslaught of the zombie horde.
Designed to use the new 3DOF controller, SWAT Academy gives you full tactical control, letting you take the action into your hands. Combine that with the insanely detailed weapon models and atmospheric environments, and you’ve got a visceral VR experience like you’ve never felt before.
Review: SWAT Academy is your classic arcade style shooter that is a lot more polished and enjoyable than most. While it can get repetitive rather quickly I felt the amount of missions, weapons and situations based on the relatively small amount of levels was surprisingly fun. Yes, it’s the same levels and gameplay over and over again, but it does at least try and mix it up as best it could. If you do love your VR shooters your find a lot to love about SWAT Academy, but if you are not a fan of them, it is best to give it a mix. This game comes at a great price and I think just about deliveries your money’s worth. …but only just.
