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?
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.
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.
Johnny Ohm, GIZORAMA - "Apart from wanting a superpower, Pokemon, or an invitation to Hogwarts, almost every kid (and this adult) inevitably desires a seat in their own sky-scraping, Gundam-esque Mech. Skydance Interactive, the same studio that worked on Gears of War 4, The Evil Within, and the Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage DLC for Borderlands 2, has attempted to scratch the itch we’ve all had with what can only be described as equal parts Time Crisis and Pacific Rim. And they get pretty damn close for a short while."
