Is Orbital Strike VR worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players who enjoy space combat and want a campaign with tactical ship support
- Small groups of up to 4 players seeking drop-in cooperative missions
- Solo pilots looking for a story campaign alongside a wave-based challenge mission
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking cockpit-based flight, since pilots launch directly into space battles
- Players wanting a broad set of missions, as the described modes center on a campaign, one prequel mission, and free-fly play
Our take on Orbital Strike VR
The direct-launch approach puts pilots outside a cockpit, trading cockpit-centered flight for hand-jet movement and a closer role in fleet battles. That choice makes the experience depend on VR movement and combat rather than conventional cockpit controls.
What is Orbital Strike VR?
Orbital Strike VR places pilots in space battles through a virtual-reality perspective.
Players leave a carrier directly, steer with hand-mounted thrusters, and use personal weapons against corvettes, escort fighters, turrets, and ship systems. A solo campaign supports invitations for as many as three friends during a session. Pilots can also summon capital vessels, modify their setups while fighting, and issue combat commands. Content includes a narrative campaign, a prequel scenario featuring successive enemy waves and boss encounters, and a free-flight area for experimenting with combat or spending time together. Locomotion choices include teleport movement, continuous movement, snap turning, and smooth turning. The game supports both seated and standing play.
