Our take on Vanguard V
The store presentation foregrounds travel across space, Earth, and underground worlds, but the current Early Access content consists of two levels: one prototype and one new level. The playable scope is narrower than the setting list may initially suggest.
What is Vanguard V?
Vanguard V is a virtual-reality flight adventure in which the player acts as the sole defender against the Parasites.
Its settings include outer space, Earth’s surface, and underground worlds. The Early Access release contains the original 2014 prototype level and one completely new level. The second level includes optional developer commentary activated with the Enter key, providing behind-the-scenes information during play. A Developer Corner presents 360-degree videos from the developers, with videos updated alongside the game. The current release is presented as part of an ongoing development process.
