Is CDF Starfighter VR worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players seeking space-combat missions rather than non-combat space exploration
- Single-player pilots who want a story campaign with ship upgrades and perks
- Players interested in cockpit-based VR games with training, free flight, and ranked combat modes
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad genre mix beyond focused space combat and starfighter piloting
- Players who prefer short, simple sessions over a campaign, training challenges, and more than 30 scramble missions
- Players without a VR setup, since the game requires VR
Our take on CDF Starfighter VR
The listing foregrounds a large space-combat package, but its campaign is specifically 13 missions, while other content is divided among training challenges, free flight, and repeatable scramble missions. The scope is substantial in modes and counts, but not all advertised content is story progression.
What is CDF Starfighter VR?
CDF Starfighter VR is a VR-only space combat simulator with four modes.
Campaign mode follows Lieutenant Rodgers through a 13-mission Pirate War story and includes perks and fighter upgrades usable in other modes. Simulation mode provides basic training and 7 challenges, with training required before starting the campaign. Free Flight removes enemies and objectives, allowing any of 6 ships to visit 14 locations. Scramble mode offers more than 30 missions, rankings, statistics, medals, unlockable ships, and increasingly difficult battles. Across the modes, gameplay includes dogfighting, space battles, training exercises, and free-flight exploration. The game features functional cockpit displays, six degrees of freedom, gamepad and VR controller support, and a CDF database containing information about the setting.
