inVokeR, from 8th Shore, Inc.

Price: $8.99 (Currently Discounted)

inVokeR is an Early Access PvP magical duel experience that has a lot of potential. In one on one matches, players will have to cast a combination of offensive and defensive spells strategically as you work to take down your adversary. You can train offline against bots in different modes until you’re comfortable enough to test your skills online against others in either public or private matches.

Space Conquest, from NyanBlade

Price: $8.09 (Currently Discounted)

In Early Access currently, Space Conquest is aiming to be a solid casual PvP shooter experience that promotes close-quarter combat with small maps. There’s 4-player competitive gameplay, bots, avatar customization, voice chat, pickups, and more but the game could certainly evolve throughout EA. Keep an eye on this or jump in now to help it grow.

Ultrawings, from Bit Planet Games, LLC

Price: $24.99

Ultrawings is an open-world, flight experience set on 3 vibrant and colorful islands. You have access to 3 unique aircraft as you take on various missions, earn money to buy new airports and vehicles, engage in a collection of mini-games, and more. The feeling of flight is true treat in VR and this is another opportunity to spread your wings. Read our full review of the original release on Rift + Touch here.

Lucky Night: Texas Hold’em VR, from Next Games

Price: Free To Play

Lucky Night is a visually impressive Texas Hold’em experience that allows for cross-play with Vive and Rift players. You can play with up to five other friends and see who has the most impressive virtual poker face by way of a customizable avatar and various emojis.

Disco Destruction, from Subjective

Price: Free

With a slight spin (heh) on the usual “keep customers happy” rhythm game, Disco Destruction employs you as a DJ where you must keep the dancers going. You’ll have to use your virtual vinyl to mix things up according to the mood of customers and make sure you don’t end up with things getting thrown at you as you work toward a high-score.
