Our take on VAR: Exterminate
Rather than using a fixed upgrade path, the game asks for one of three ability choices before every wave. That turns each run into a sequence of build decisions, while its stage progression remains organized into two chapters and its combat stays focused on zombie waves.
What is VAR: Exterminate?
VAR: Exterminate is a VR-only zombie shooter set in a post-apocalyptic city.
Before each wave, choose one of three offered abilities and shape an ability tree for the run. Waves send zombies across the city, while loot from defeated enemies provides money and chips for improving weapons and equipment. The game includes 12 stages arranged across two chapters, with additional maps, stages, and chapters planned for free updates. Its weapon selection supports different combat approaches, including firearms and grenades. Progression also includes leveling and strengthening core abilities, while later areas introduce evolved virus strains. A global ranking lets players compare performance with others.
