About VR Invaders
VR Invaders is a story-driven sci-fi arcade shooter, playable with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
In days gone by, people could only imagine their perfect worlds. Today, all of humanity can live within its dreams. But dreams sometimes turn into nightmares.
The year is 2046. Virtual reality is omnipresent. It’s a perfect shelter from life’s hardships - a fully immersive experience. It’s not hard to wonder why some people spend almost all of their life logged into VR.
However, not everyone stays connected voluntarily. Occasionally, a software bug or even a virus can prevent a VR user from disconnecting. To save face while extracting the Stuck, corporations often hire freelance hackers that can enter the client’s neural session and reboot it.
Those hackers call themselves Divers. Thomas Hall is one of them, and he’s up for an odd job.
The world you’re in may be virtual, but the consequences of its infection can alter all of humanity.
Dive in and stop the invaders!

THE STORY
The year is 2046. Virtual reality is omnipresent. It’s a perfect shelter from life’s hardships - a fully immersive experience. It’s not hard to wonder why some people spend almost all of their life logged into VR.

KEY FEATURES
- We must go deeper – Engaging story with interesting characters, which unfolds as you “Dive” into a virtual reality program of a future world to save a user that is stuck, and to battle the unforeseen causes of that glitch.
- Fast-paced action – Become a living bullet hell for your enemies. Blow them to pieces, crush them against the walls, evade or block their shots. The core mechanics are easy to grasp, but using them to the fullest against all the threats will be a challenge.
- Arcade play mode – Become the best cyberspace diver out there by achieving a high score in the separate arcade mode. Choose from three different difficulty levels, kill drones in a quick succession and shoot incoming bullets to gain combo points.
- Slow motion power – Freeze time to a halt when you need breathing space. You can take down lots of drones at once, dodge bullets or check that no one’s attacking you from the side.
- Multifunctional pistol – Gather power-ups from killed enemies to temporary arm yourself with dual blasters and transform your cyber weapons into various more powerful modes, such as a laser or a plasma gun.
- Various levels – Virtual reality is vast. You will see radically different and gorgeous environments, from claustrophobic and dark to enormously big and bright. Level structure shapes the gameplay.
- Hordes of droids – Enemies are numerous in quantity and type. Each one behaves differently and demands a change in combat tactics. Uniquely challenging bosses await at the end of each level.
UPDATE 2.0 CONTENTS
- Removed StarForce DRM – The game can now be installed on as many machines as you would like.
- Introduced destructible level elements – Blast through enemy cover and leave a trail of destruction as you progress through the game.
- Added the “Survival” game mode – Fight against hordes of enemies and try to survive for as long as you can.
- Miscellanous – Made various small improvements to performance.
The world you’re in may be virtual, but the consequences of its infection can alter all of humanity.

✦ AI summary
Players praise this wave shooter for its polished mechanics, excellent performance, good weapon variety, and motion sickness-free design that's easy to pick up and play. The main criticisms are the short content length (completable in around 2 hours), high price relative to playtime, and occasional audio issues for some players, though those who catch it on sale find it offers solid value as a refined take on the Space Pirate Trainer formula.
Nice wave shooter with good mechanics and all . From the graphics to the voice acting audio and perfomance, the game feels excellent. Essentially its a wave shooter with you standing on a platform that covers your back, so you focus on things coming towards you, so no motion sickness, enemies are robots so, no blood, the gameplay instructions are "kill everything" so easy to get into and start playing. The main weapon is a pistol with a shield, the shield has a very cool slowdown power that helps a lot and can be used on levels tactically to squeeze the most out of it. Others are plasma, shotgun, laser, rapidfire, dual weilding, so there is a good variety of weapons, as with other waveshooters i wish i could grab powerups and save them for usage when i need them instead of instantly using them when grabbed, even replacing your previous unfinished powerup... But most if not all wave shooters use the same mechanic. There are a few different enemy types, and a different boss each level. I did not expect to see destructible environments, but there are and they are a little detail that really pops up. Audio and voice acting for the storyline is pretty decent, i wish some sfx wher…2 found this helpful
Not worth full price. within 2 hours you are done with the game. I would only buy this at 70% discount or more2 found this helpful
Truly addicting. Yes it's a pure wave shooter, but a very very good one.
It good, very polished and runs perfectly on my Quest 2. I don't get the negative reviews tbh. It is very similar to Space Pirat Trainer so when you get it on a sale like me for two bucks, there is nothing you can do wrong.
Game seems like it would be fun but I have zero sound no matter what I do, just glad I got it in a bundle super cheap, maybe it will start working eventually, could be compatibility issues but only game not running right i9 12900KF 64GB DDR5 RAM Nvidia 3090
Similar to Space Pirate Trainer but a little brighter environment, nice variety.
