One of the best and most natural game genres to adapt for VR has always been the cover-based arcade shooter. Today, Dead Second VR from Spunge Games, an App Lab standout title on the Meta Quest platform, is officially launching on the main store. This exciting release promises to scratch that arcade shooter itch with an array of levels, diverse enemy types, and engaging power-ups.
A Classic Arcade Experience Reimagined for VR
Standing at an arcade cabinet while you blast away enemies, dip in and out of cover to avoid fire, and wield a plastic gun pointed at the screen is an iconic gaming experience for many modern gamers. With the immersive power of VR, that classic game loop is taken to a whole new level. Instead of merely standing in front of a screen, you’re now inside the experience itself, physically ducking in and out of cover to find the best angle and position to take down your foes.
