Zombie Army VR is an FPS designed for virtual reality headsets, representing a series of spin-offs of the popular Sniper Elite series. The game is the result of cooperation between Rebellion, the company responsible for the brand, and the XR Games studio, which previously delivered a similar production titled Zombieland VR: Headshot Fever.
Plot
The action of Zombie Army VR takes place after the events depicted in Zombie Army 4: Dead War. The peace didn't return to Europe after defeating Zombie Hitler, as hordes of zombies still roam the war-torn continent. During the game, we play the role of one of the Deadhunters - elite soldiers fighting the living dead. The protagonist ends up near Nuremberg to help the legendary commander, Hermann Wolff, in finding his family and ending the zombie apocalypse.
Mechanics
In Zombie Army VR we watch the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). During the game, we explore various locations with weapons in hand and exterminate hordes of living dead. We eliminate adversaries, making use of machine guns, shotguns and pistols, as well as sniper rifles.
Following the example of the Sniper Elite games, accurate shots fired from a long distance are crowned with spectacular and bloody finishers (so-called Kill Cams). Additionally, the game allows us to use two types of weapons at the same time, such as pistols or machine guns. This method quickly drains ammunition, but we can get rid of enemies in bulk.
During the game, we make use of motion controllers, aiming and striking with the end of the gun ourselves, which is especially useful when we run out of bullets. If we want to achieve further victories, we must also master the actions related to reloading weapons in advance.
As we progress, we accumulate experience points and develop our Deadhunter. In addition to this, we unlock weapon upgrade sets, which increase accuracy, range and magazine capacity.
Game modes
In Zombie Army VR we can play alone or in cooperation with another player. There's a sense of competition thanks to a scoring system awarding us for our feats on the battlefield.
