Labrodex Studios is currently in the process of developing its next virtual reality (VR) videogame, a stationary wave shooter called Scraper: Gauntlet, set in the same universe as its first title Scraper: First Strike.

VRFocus previewed Scraper: Gauntlet earlier this week, saying: “Variety is the spice of life and Labrodex Studios is definitely trying to make sure Scraper: Gauntlet has that to ensure broad appeal. This early version feels like development is coming along nicely.”
In Scraper: Gauntlet you take the role of a Human Resistance Force (HRF) operative tasked with locating and retrieving a new weapon to help defeat the deadly Humech forces. This weapon is an arm-mounted gauntlet with various offensive and defensive capabilities. To collect the blueprints you need to complete various tactical simulations using the weapon, upgrading and modifying it as needed.
Scraper: Gauntlet is scheduled for release on 20th February 2020. For further updates, keep reading VRFocus.
