Nusakan Studio and Perp Games revealed that Taurus VR is available on Steam Early Access for Windows.
The final release of Taurus VR is expected Summer 2020 on the Steam for Windows and Oculus Stores and will be compatible with all major PC headsets.
Taurus VR is retro reimagined for VR with its focus on arcade-style space shooting action and an emphasis on 6-degree body movement that really gets your adrenaline pumping.
Taurus VR pits you against an ever-present alien threat, requiring the player to use full-body movement to steer the ship and arm gestures to fulfil the attack and defensive mechanisms.
A demo is now available to try the game for yourself, controlling the all-rounded LUV-5 spaceship to try to reach the highest score possible to top the leaderboards as you face endless waves of enemies.
By purchasing the Early Access of Taurus VR from today, you will receive a Pioneer’s Badge and be able to unlock the Alien Spaceship by beating the game before the next update. The game also comes complete with Steam Achievements.
And if you’re in the Top 100 Scorers by February 14th, you will be entered into a raffle for a chance to name the upcoming fifth world in Taurus VR.
