Our take on Karnage Chronicles
The store page foregrounds immersion and cooperative flexibility, while the available character choice is presented as only archer or warrior. Multiplayer also carries a specific restriction: Steam players cannot join Oculus Store players, even though cross-hardware play is supported when everyone uses Steam.
What is Karnage Chronicles?
Karnage Chronicles is a VR action RPG set around a cosmic rift and an undead knight called a Murkwraith.
Players explore dark dungeons containing monsters, traps, puzzles, treasure, shops, and hidden loot. Combat uses weapon swings, parries, shields, ranged attacks, room-scale movement, and player-controlled evasion rather than random hit chances. Characters can follow an archer or warrior style, equip weapon presets, and access potions and food through quick slots. The game supports solo play and groups of 1-4, with monster scaling as players join or leave. Drop-in and drop-out multiplayer allows party sizes to change during a session. Dungeon progress is saved when leaving, and a shared stash stores items across characters and multiplayer sessions.
