The Biggest Oculus Rift, HTC Vive And Windows VR Releases Since Christmas

The Biggest Oculus Rift, HTC Vive And Windows VR Releases Since Christmas

There’s really very little in the way of VR releases this week, so we thought we’d expand our search a little and include some of the titles we missed while we were off on the Christmas break. With those in mind, there’s definitely a few things you should check out to kick off your 2018.

Tactera, from E McNeill
Price: $14.99 (Rift, Vive, Windows)

The second game from Darknet developer E McNeill, Tactera is the real-time strategy game many of us envisioned when we first picked up a VR headset. Two armies compete on a 3D holographic battlefield and the player with the best tactics will come out on top. Featuring a procedural campaign, skirmish missions and even competitive multiplayer modes, this is one to tide you over until Brass Tactics arrives.

Skylight, from E McNeill
Price: $14.99 (Vive, Windows)

It’s a double bill of E McNeill this week, with his third game, Skylight, also jumping from mobile VR to PC-based headsets. Skylight is similar to Tactera is tone, with holographic projections of ships duking it out in a war room, but this time the real-time strategy gets tossed out in favor of turn-based gameplay. Again, there’s a campaign, skirmish matches and multiplayer modes to enjoy.

KFC The Hard Way, from W+K Lodge
Price: Free (Rift)

A few months ago we wrote about a hilariously bizarree bit of marketing from KFC consisting of a totaliterian training simulator that taught you how to make the brand’s famously fried chicken. Use your Touch controllers to batter and fry chicken in a fight for freedom, but don’t anger the Colonel too much because, frankly, he seems a lot scarier here than he does in the TV adverts.

Neon, from Galactig
Price: $9.99 (Rift)

An arcade shooter that may appeal to retro gaming fans that have a futuristic headset. Neon puts you in control of an ion cannon then pits you in battles across 42 levels using different power-ups to destroy enemies. Extra points for the retro trailer.

Tank of War VR
Price: $19.99 (Rift, Vive)

We’re including this one because, visually, it looks pretty polished, though the poor localization could be a roadblock for some. This is a multiplayer tank battler with realistic models. A cockpit view puts you inside vehicles and you then drive into 5 v 5 matches.
