Gunjack

Sci-Fi

Gunjack boils the space shooter down to its purest form: a relentless, arcade-style gauntlet of enemy waves. Piloting a turret, you’re tasked with efficiently vaporizing incoming foes with a simple but satisfying weapon loadout, all while soaking in the game's striking visuals, powered by the then-cutting-edge VR technology. The pick-up-and-play nature, combined with the visceral thrill of rapid-fire combat, made for a memorable VR experience that prioritized immediate action and spectacle over complex mechanics.
Step into the boots of a gunjack, a lone gunner with an impossible job: shoot everything that moves. Jack into your turret, power up your guns, and defend your mining platform from deadly waves of enemy ships determined to blast you and your crew into oblivion.
