Our take on Star Phoenix
The store presentation foregrounds cross-platform multiplayer, but multiplayer is not currently available. The present offering is a 3-level VR campaign with solo exploration, combat, quests, and progression, while Arcade Mode is also still planned.
What is Star Phoenix?
Star Phoenix is a VR first-person RPG shooter set aboard a derelict spaceship.
Players investigate the vessel’s fate, search for weapons and items, improve equipment, develop character stats, follow story quests, and fight enemies and bosses. The game currently contains 3 levels, including one procedurally generated level. Weapons have different benefits and drawbacks, while a shop supports buying and selling equipment during missions through a pocket portal. Movement can use teleportation or controller-based motion. The game supports HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with Touch controllers and requires full motion controller support. Multiplayer and Arcade Mode are listed as planned additions rather than current modes.
