You can now drop whatever other roguelite you’re using to fill the Vampire Survivors-shaped hole in your soul to experience the game in VR, the official X account of the developers has announced—as long as you own a modern Quest machine, that is.
The announcement proudly states that “you can be the bullet hell with your face”, which is one of the most puzzling statements I’ve ever read, but probably no more so than the concept of using VR to play a third-person perspective game.
No, really, the new take on the game seems to play exactly the same as the original, meaning players help a tiny sprite to fight off and avoid coming in contact with a horde of other tiny sprites and their deadly projectiles. This approach is the only one that makes sense for a game where the player needs to be aware of all of their surroundings at all times, but it still feels like something that’d work wonders as an April Fools’ prank.
Either way, I’m sure both hardcore fans of the game and VR enthusiasts will probably find something to like here. What’s definitely not great, however, is how Vampire Survivors VR currently leaves out not only all non-Meta VR headsets on the market, but also all Meta Quest headsets before version 3. Pretty strange, considering we’re probably looking at one of the least graphically demanding VR games to come out in a while. Should this one prove a hit, we’ll hopefully see it spreading to other VR platforms and even see similar titles, such as the more recent and also excellent Megabonk, making their way into VR.
You can now help Poe survive the vampire horde in VR on Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
