Our take on Cowbots and Aliens

Rather than limiting a shooter to purpose-built weapons, this game turns saloon furniture and bottles into combat tools. It also places a social hangout area beside its competitive matches, mixing brawling with casual interaction.

What is Cowbots and Aliens?

Cowbots and Aliens is a competitive multiplayer VR game set in a cartoon western saloon world.

Players move freely through online Free-for-All and team-based matches, with modes including Team Deathmatch, No Guns, and Gold Rush. Weapons include guns, tomahawks, and other sci-western gear, while saloon objects such as bottles, chairs, and barstools can also be used during fights. AI bots provide opponents or allies for solo play. A social saloon area supports activities such as virtual drinks, chair-based creations, and joining battles. Avatar customization includes hats, shirts, vests, and facial hair, with cosmetic items unlocked during play. The game also features a networked physics system and a destructible environment.
