The Big Releases
Wands, from Cortopia Studios
Price: $14.99 (Rift)
The popular mobile VR title has been remastered for the Oculus Rift and is looking fine. Head into various ancient arenas and cast spells to take down your opponents. With customizable attack options, teleportation locomotion and more, this looks like a worthy contender to The Unspoken’s throne.
Recommendation: A solid game you should definitely check out.
Hangry Bunnies from Mars, from Studio229
Price: $5.99 (Rift)
Here’s a new wave shooter that looks like it’s had a lot of time and effort poured into it. Hangry Bunnies has you blasting away vicious critters both big and small with crazy weaponry. It’s got an arcade influence that will have you chasing for high scores and playing again and again.
Recommendation: Shooter fans should snap this up.
Voltron: VR Chronicles, from Digital Domain
Price: $14.99 (Rift)
Based on the ongoing Netflix cartoon, Voltron: VR Chronicles is essentially an episode of the show played out in VR. You take on the role of one of the mech-commanding paladins and journey across the galaxy in a polished, if brief adventure. Splendid visuals and authenticity help make up for one big oversight.
Recommendation: Fans of the cartoon will love it.
Cirque du Soleil, from Felix and Paul Studios
Price: Free (Rift)
The famed immersive filmmaking studio this week debuts its Cirque du Soleil content on PC-based headsets. Get a first-class ticket to some of the most spectacular acrobatics on the planet, all performed as if you were really there.
Recommendation: A great free download.
DWVR, from Mad Triangles
Price: $14.99 (Rift, currently discounted)
For those looking for a little shooter action this week, DWVR promises a Doom-esque adventure with big guns and demonic enemies. Finally moving out of early access, the game’s aim is to make you feel like a true badass, destroying enemies with enormous swords and more.
Recommendation: FPS fans should scoop it up.
Cloudborn, from Logtown Studios AB
Price: $14.99 (Rift, currently discounted)
An early access release of an intriguing-looking VR adventure in which you navigate ancient ruins by climbing along their beautiful remains. It looks like a cross between Windlands and The Climb, and that’s no bad thing.
