The Light Brigade

The Light Brigade is a VR game in which you enlist as part of humanity’s last line of defense and fight through procedurally generated battlegrounds. You battle enemy soldiers, creatures and bosses, seeking to free the souls of the fallen and uncover what brought the world to the brink of darkness.

Fight with guns and magic

Combat uses realistic gunplay inspired by historical World War weaponry. You aim, shoot and reload bolt-action rifles, machine guns and pistols, while light magic adds more ways to attack: you can infuse rifle bullets with magic or rain fireballs on enemy hordes.

You begin each run with a standard-issue rifle and can find attachments such as explosive charms, poison gun barrels, tactical scopes and silencers. The battlegrounds are infinitely procedurally generated, with hostile environments that change from run to run. Enemies may lurk around any corner, making careful positioning and strategy important for survival.

Runs and progression

Loot treasure chests and enemies for magical tarot cards, each with unique powers, buffs, debuffs and passive abilities. Stronger versions of cards can create stacking effects. If you fall to enemy fire, you must survive long enough to retrieve your fallen soul or lose your run progress to permadeath.

Cleansing fallen souls raises your rank. You can spend rank points to upgrade your weapon, passive abilities and spells, and unlock player classes with new weapons, loadouts and play styles.

The fallen and the Obsidian Forces

The story follows your effort to free the souls of the fallen trapped in the battlegrounds and bring the world back from the brink of total darkness. As you fight, you can uncover what led to the world’s downfall and what the Obsidian Forces want.
