Our take on Lucky's Tale
The focus on approachable third-person VR platforming limits the game’s complexity: players get colorful movement and exploration, but not the deeper systems associated with role-playing or survival games.
What is Lucky's Tale?
Lucky’s Tale is a virtual-reality 3D platformer starring Lucky Swiftail, a fox searching for his friend Piggy after an attack by the tentacled Glorp.
Players run, jump, climb, aim, throw, and find hidden objects across areas such as lush swamps, underwater ruins, and an active volcano. The game uses a third-person camera for VR, with headset tracking and touch controls for interacting with Lucky and menus. Stages include boss battles, secret foxholes, and hundreds of secrets. Timed and collection-based challenges provide additional activities for replaying levels. This remastered version updates lighting, audio, rendering, player movement, Lucky’s character model, and optimization for modern headsets.
