EB: Skydance Interactive’s first ever video game IP has hit the hands and eyes of gamers this week with the launch of Archangel VR for the PS4 and PC. I strapped on my PSVR and took to a 60-foot mech in epic fashion as I blasted my way through the game’s 4-6 hour campaign. Overall I found it to provide a solid VR FPS gaming experience, so it’s more than just a tech demo, it’s a real deal video game set in a virtual world.
Archangel is an action-packed, story-driven VR shooter where players are dropped into the cockpit of a six-story-high war-machine and stop a tyrannical corporation from taking over a post-apocalyptic America.
Archangel is a story-based, on-rails Virtual Reality game in which the player is tasked with controlling humanity’s last bastion of hope, a giant bipedal mech, to defend whatever is left of society. As one of VR’s few story-heavy games and Mech titles, Archangel has a lot of expectations to live up to, but does it succeed?
Chalgyr's Game Room writes:
Archangel is a slick, entertaining action game that is relatively easy to pick up and play. The premise is fun and familiar, making it approachable if not perhaps particularly original. Still, it presents some of the sharper visuals in VR to date, and is a welcome port of the popular PlayStation VR game.
