Remnith

Remnith is an arcade-style VR shooter set in a hostile metallic world. You fight your way upward through enemy-filled arenas to escape, with every battle built around a boss. Enemies grow stronger whenever your shots miss, so you need to balance firepower with accuracy.

Arenas and enemies

Battles span more than 25 arenas across three levels, with optional arenas if you choose not to hurry toward the exit. You face three enemy types that evolve and adopt different tactics as you progress. An enemy that seems weak at first can become as dangerous as the foes you encounter later in the game.

There are five difficulty levels, from Tin Can for a quicker or less punishing run to Doomsday Device for a greater challenge.

Manage your shots

Shooting the environment creates an Energy Scab, which feeds energy to every enemy in the area. This strengthens them in different ways and speeds up their evolution; given enough energy, even the weakest enemy can become a later-game threat.

Your cannons require different levels of aim. A single-barrel cannon is straightforward to use, while a triple-barrel cannon needs all three crosshairs lined up to deliver its full power. You choose which weapon to use while weighing its damage against the risk of missing.

Movement and play

You can dash around enemies and jump from ramps, or use long-range teleportation to attack from across an arena. Teleportation works regardless of whether your destination point is a valid place to land, letting you focus on your target; if you point toward a wall, you teleport to the nearest point on the floor. You can also teleport quickly by aiming generally in the direction you want to move.

The game supports motion controllers, gamepads, and mouse and keyboard, as well as a flat mode that does not require a VR headset. With motion controllers, you can choose between thumbstick or trackpad movement and teleportation. You can play sitting or standing; standing without thumbstick or trackpad turning requires a 360-degree setup.
