Splosion Man developer Twisted Pixel, in partnership with Oculus Studios, just announced a new VR beat-em-up at The Game Awards. Furthermore, Path of the Warrior is available right now on Oculus Quest and Rift.
Path of the Warrior aims to bring the classic, over-the-top brawler experience to VR. Players can punch combo their way through waves of enemies, and use interactive objects like pool cues, trash cans, and anything else they can get their hands on to knock out the baddies.
“Some of my earliest memories in gaming were beat ‘em ups like Double Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game, and later on Streets of Rage and Final Fight,” said Oculus Studios executive producer Mike Doran. “When we had an opportunity to sign Twisted Pixel to create a Quest title with a blank slate when it came to genre, an arcade beat ‘em up was at the top of their list too.”
