ShowdownVR

ShowdownVR is a virtual reality arena game where you dodge enemy projectiles, build combos and score as many points as possible within a time limit. You can teleport around a 2 × 2 km open world arena, slow time and steer a ship across a large ocean, even when you are not aboard.

Combat and scoring

Dodging plasma projectiles earns points and builds combos, which generate action points for abilities such as teleporting, attacking, multi-attacking and slowing time. Killing foes adds time, giving you longer to score. Enemies can be killed with your projectiles, run over by the ship, or knocked out by a larger wave and left to drown. If you are hit, you earn no point and lose combo progress, making it harder to build the action points needed to use abilities.

Game modes

The game has two modes, The One and Dodger, and five difficulty levels. You can choose between two playing styles and improve your skills gradually. You compete individually while also representing your country and continent on the leaderboards.

Arena and technology

The world is fully dynamic and includes a real-time ocean simulation using NVIDIA WaveWorks. The game also supports NVIDIA Multi-Res Shading, Lens Matched Shading and dynamic versions of both, as well as NVIDIA VR SLI. An extended menu lets you customize these features and run a benchmark; Multi-Res Shading, Lens Matched Shading and SLI are optional features that work only with NVIDIA hardware.
