Hero Index

Hero Index is a VR action game in which you wear H.E.R.O. (Humanoid Exo Robotic Outfit), a hi-tech robotic suit, and take on missions such as destroying a small enemy fleet or escorting an allied ship to an escape point. Launch from your battleship, approach enemy battleships from any angle and attack with your weapons. Your battleship and fighter squadrons fight alongside you.

Missions and combat

You control your flight direction and speed with hand and finger movements. Point your index finger to aim and fire the Index Laser without pressing a button; other weapons respond to gestures such as opening your hand or holding a fist. The game is designed for Valve Index controllers and uses their finger tracking for flight and weapon control.

Signature weapons

• Index Laser: fire a laser beam from your index finger.
• Fist Cannon: hold your fist to fire rapidly.
• Lightning: send electric arcs that automatically hit multiple targets.
• Ultra Beam: fire a long-range palm laser that can destroy warships.

Controller support

The game is designed around the Valve Index controller’s finger gestures. Vive Wand and Oculus Touch controllers can also be used for flight control and a limited set of weapons, though this feature is experimental and may have issues.
