Blunt Force is a PC-based FPS game designed from the ground up with virtual reality technology and requiring a VR device. The game is divided into shooting and adventure sections, played in two different historical periods, which at the same time influence each other in different interesting ways.

Mechanics

Blunt Force is a PC first-person shooter designed exclusively for virtual reality and the debut game of G2A, which so far has only been selling keys to digital versions of games from other developers.

Story

The action of the game takes place in one place, but in two time periods. The first one presents the events before the outbreak of the Second World War, while the second one is already during the conflict, which enables to visit the same locations, but destroyed as a result of fighting and occupied by German soldiers.

Mechanics

Blunt Force combines two popular among VR game genres. In the sections, during the war, we focus on dynamic firefights, and in the exploration fragments the challenges are more adventurous, requiring finding objects and solving simple puzzles. The transitions between the two periods are smooth. For example, in one moment we calmly have a drink in the bar, and a moment later we can see how the restaurant transforms into ruins and the newspaper on the table turns into a gun.

The two timelines are years apart, yet they are closely connected. As a result, decisions and actions taken in one have an impact on the other. This dependence is used not only to tell stories and show the scale of war damage, but it is also useful in gameplay, enabling us to influence the shape of the surrounding reality.

The game makes full use of VR technology and motion controllers, offering complete freedom of aiming. At the same time, the exploration itself is carried out by means of a teleportation system and not smooth motion.
