After spending so much time in VR over the past year and a half I’ve come to accept a lot of different things about this budding industry and one of the biggest learnings is that VR is always better with friends. No matter what the experience is if you throw in multiple people then it’s almost always a better time for everyone involved.
Gunheart is a new VR game from industry veterans that have worked at Epic Games and the title takes the multiplayer concept truly to heart (pardon the pun.) You take on the role of a bounty hunter that goes on missions with other mercenaries to earn money which can be used at the central hub cantina-style location. The launch trailer does a good recap of the various activities available:
When I first went hands-on with Gunheart a couple of months ago it was a short co-op demo where I and two of the developers had to make our way through a series of enemy waves to the end of the mission. But now in Early Access there is the promise of much more content, such as PvP battles, and more varied cooperative missions. Since my demo, they’ve also added full smooth locomotion options in addition to teleportation movement.
What stood out the most during my early demo was just how fluid and satisfying the gunplay felt, so with an infusion of more content to play and a nice variety of weapons to use, Gunheart could quickly become a go-to multiplayer offering for the VR scene.
As of today, Gunheart is officially available in Early Access on Steam for $34.99 with support for both Rift and Vive. What do you think of the game so far? Let us know down in the comments below!
