VEX MAGE Announced: A High-Octane Magic Shooter with Full VR Support

Unleash Elemental Power in VEX MAGE

Publisher Fast Travel Games and developer Nervous Systems have officially announced VEX MAGE, an adrenaline-fueled first-person shooter that promises a unique blend of magic and intense action. What sets VEX MAGE apart is its versatility: players can dive into the chaotic arenas on a traditional screen or experience full immersion with virtual reality hardware.

“Two elements. Endless acceleration. Danger from all sides. Merge spells, cross dimensions, and dance through deadly arenas in this lightning-fast shooter. Alone or with others – claim immortality on cross-platform leaderboards. Your name is eternal.” – VEX MAGE Steam Description

Master Aggressive Magic and Movement

In VEX MAGE, players will navigate hazardous arenas, fending off enemies that attack from every direction. Survival demands an aggressive playstyle and constant, rapid movement. The game’s magic system is built around elemental combinations: players can bind a distinct rune to each hand, then combine them to unleash devastating spells. This encourages strategic thinking on the fly, as players adapt their magical arsenal to the evolving combat scenarios.

Dynamic Co-op and Global Competition

The campaign in VEX MAGE is designed with short, intense levels packed with speed, chaos, and high-octane action. Whether you prefer to play solo or team up, the game supports cooperative play for up to three players. The difficulty automatically adjusts to the team’s size, ensuring that every playthrough remains a challenging test of skill.

For those with a competitive spirit, VEX MAGE offers global leaderboards where players can fight for the top spot. The game also features cross-platform multiplayer, allowing PC and Oculus Quest players to battle together or against each other. Full VR support, including six degrees of freedom (6DoF), aims to provide the deepest possible immersion for virtual reality users.

Platforms, Release, and Demo

VEX MAGE is set to launch on PC (via Steam) and Oculus Quest VR headsets. While a precise release date has not yet been announced, the developers have indicated it will be coming this year. Eager players won't have to wait to get a taste of the action, as a single-player demo for VEX MAGE is currently available, offering a sneak peek into its fast-paced magical combat.

With its blend of fluid movement, aggressive spellcasting, and competitive features, VEX MAGE looks to deliver a fresh and exciting experience for fans of shooters and magic alike, whether they prefer to play on a monitor or step into the virtual world.
