2017-11-12 0

Gameplay from the large new 0.2 patch for Sairento VR, one of my favorite roomscale shooter games in VR.\r

Sairento VR is a $24.99 VR shooter game that supports the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift with Touch. It uses multiple locomotion methods with dash teleportation, double jumping, Onwards locomotion, wall running, wall jumping, and roomscale dodging and sliding. The new patch added a bunch of new features including dismemberment, updated AI, a re-hauled skill system, and procedurally generated missions.\r

Sairento VR is a mission-driven, VR ion role-playing game set in a reimagined Japan in the near future. In Sairento, you play as a member of the Silent Ones - a righteous but covert organization of seemingly ordinary people who price the long forsaken code and martial arts of the ancient samurais and ninjas. You are tasked with uncovering the sinister secret behind other members of the Silent Ones turning into crazed nano-infected shells of their former self and in the process, fight your way through multitudes of your past comrades.\r
\r
Crafted painstakingly to provide an engaging and visually stunning first-person swordfighting and gunplay - expect awesome weaponry, intuitive controls, challenging levels, menacing enemies and beautiful environments in your fight to restore order to the world.\r

You will be able to leap 15 feet into the air, slow time down while you blast away at an enemy before landing to deliver a lethal strike with your katana on another.\r
\r
The combat system was tested vigorously amongst gamers, the development team, family, friends and people prically dragged off the streets, to ensure an intuitive and immersive experience.
