SteamHammerVR

SteamHammerVR is set in Victorian London in 1892, where Professor Rattwurm is trying to enslave the population with an army of clockwork automatons. From the airship Horndenburg, Doctor Obadiah Springhorn guides you as you plan your missions and practise with your weapons. You fight in a steam-powered Exo-Suit and uncover the truth about your recruitment as the SteamHammer.

The Rogue Apprentice

The story-based campaign has eleven missions set in locations around Victorian London, including the Tower of London, Limehouse Warehouse, Trafalgar Square, Westminster, St Pauls and the London Sewers. Missions unlock as the narrative unfolds, revealing more of the story and access to more powerful weapons. If you fail, you return to the Horndenburg for suit repairs before trying again.

Weapons and combat

Your Exo-Suit has two hands and a loadout of six unique, upgradable weapons that you can switch between during battle: the Steam Hammer, Steam Cannon, Magnet Beam, Rotor Saw, Tesla Ray and Rail Gun. The weapons support more than 36 combinations, with physics-based combat to master. You can also use one-word voice commands to change your loadout during a fight.

Game modes

Seek & Destroy offers four arcade wave-shooting modes, with combos that boost your score. These include Panic on the Streets of London, Bar Room Brawl at the Skillington Arms, Big Ben Bash in Westminster and Kick in the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London. The game also has Easy, Medium and Hard settings for all modes, plus a testing range for trying out your Exo-Suit and weapons.

Movement and viewing

You can use free movement, S.M.A.R.T. Teleport or a combination of the two. The game offers four camera angles and an auto-camera option that switches between them for monitor viewing.
