Our take on Viral EX
The store page highlights 50 stages and multiple control styles, but gives little detail about stage variety, progression between stages, or the role of the setting. The presentation focuses on combat spectacle, traps, puzzles, and trick shots.
What is Viral EX?
Viral EX is a VR action game set inside the infected supercomputer E.
V. E. Players take the role of Ragnarok, an anti-virus character equipped with a dual-wield blaster and deflector shield. Across 50 stages, the game combines combat with traps and puzzles. Players can fire weapons, use powerups, and attempt trick shots while facing devious enemies. Two control options are available: gamepad-based Classic gameplay or tracked controllers.
