Today we’re happy to announce the upcoming release of Gunsight, an explosive sci-fi side shooter exclusively designed for VR. Power through space in a blaze of bullets, madness and metal!

“With our third title for for the GEAR VR, we have taken all our VR learnings and created a stand-out tile for the platform,” said Climax CEO, Simon Gardner. Gunsight’s release follows on from successful launch titles Bandit Six and Bandit Six: Salvo.

“We have paid homage to some of our favourite arcade titles, like Metal Slug and Contra, but managed to deliver a unique experience only possible in VR,” commented Ian Hudson, lead designer on Gunsight.

Playing Colonel Jack “Knife” Denver, last of the infamous War Dogs, you must wage a brutal one man crusade to save the solar system from the relentless robot hordes. Gun Sight also throws in the extra dimension of 3D depth, overpowered “look-to-aim” weapons, beautiful (and entirely destructible) environments and unique cel-shaded graphics — harking back to it’s 80’s influences.

The game features over 13 campaign missions in over five out of this world settings. Blast your way through four compelling game modes including Campaign, Survival, Extraction and for those looking for a true nostalgic experience, Hardcore. Enemies range from hulking metal bots to serpentine titans.

Gunsight will be available to purchase exclusively through the Oculus Gear VR store, with pricing and launch date to be confirmed shortly.
