About Echo VR
Echo VR game is set in a zero-gravity environment where two teams of robots are pitted against one another where they battle for possession of a floating disc. Though it seems simple the result is some of the most pulse-pounding, sweat-inducing gameplay one can have in a VR setting. The movement system of this game is unique and intuitive which is easy to learn but difficult to master. The players glide, boost and punch their way to scoring goals in a breathtaking virtual arena.
Echo Arena rewards players that work well together as in a team sport. Players can signal for a pass with a shout and a wave, just as one naturally would, with the incredible social expression powered by Oculus Touch. Echo Arena is also a full-contact sport where one can make a fist and use a swift punch to an opponent’s head to stun them, or grab onto another player’s back and catch a ride down-field. Players can even flaunt the goals scored with their own victory dance. Echo VR makes use of Touch gesture controls and voice-over-Internet communication.
