Is Vox Machinae worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Mech-combat fans who want to pilot and customize a large machine
- VR players who want motion-controlled cockpit operation
- Players who prefer team-based multiplayer modes with bots available
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a broad range of vehicle types beyond the Grinder chassis
- Players seeking a non-combat game, since the campaign and multiplayer center on battles and territory objectives
- Players who do not want to configure weapons and modules
Our take on Vox Machinae
The cockpit simulation gives machine control a central role, but that focus leaves little room for play outside piloting, combat, and loadout choices.
What is Vox Machinae?
Vox Machinae is a giant-robot combat simulator for VR and standard screens.
In the single-player campaign, pilots work for a corporate security unit, defend mining operations, and investigate a hostile force in the Serus System. Players choose from seven Grinder chassis, equip weapons such as lasers, missiles, and cannons, and add passive or active modules. Physics simulation shapes movement and combat, including ground engagements and jumpjet battles. Multiplayer supports offline play, local networks, and online matches for up to 16 players, with bots available across gameplay modes. Modes include Salvage, Stockpile, and HoverBrawl, and matches can use two to four teams. VR players can operate cockpit controls with motion input; the game also supports standard screens and crossplay between them.
