The VR Game Launch Roundup: Help Friends or Save the World!
It’s time to settle in for the weekend and enjoy some virtual reality (VR) gaming. While you might be stuck on a particular puzzle or grinding out a level to build up your XP more titles are on their way. VRFocus’ Friday roundup contains another five VR videogames which you may want to add to your library.
Alvo – Mardonpol Inc.
Alvo is a purely online 5v5 shooter coming to the PlayStation VR next week (other platforms to follow). It’s been in the works for a while, originally slated for release back in 2018. Compatible with the PlayStation Aim controller, Alvo features three gameplay modes: Search and Destroy, Team Deathmatch and Free 4 All, providing players with team-based objectives or just going on a pure killing spree.

Carly and the Reaperman – Odd Raven Studios
First released back in 2018 for multiple platforms including PlayStation VR and PC VR headsets, Carly and the Reaperman is built around co-op gameplay where the VR-player controls the Reaperman, helping Carly – the non-VR player – escape the underworld. Players have 50 levels to work through, unlocking plenty of customisable options along the way.
Altdeus: Beyond Chronos – MyDearest
Another anime visual novel from the team behind Tokyo Chronos, Altdeus: Beyond Chronos is the follow-up set 200 years in the future. There’s a 15+ hour storyline involving giant alien beings called Meteora and humanity’s bid to survive by living in underground cities and fighting them with colossal mechs. With English and Japanese voice-overs and interactive elements to keep you engaged in the experience, Altdeus: Beyond Chronos has a sprawling narrative that offers plenty of alternative routes for multiple endings.
