In Cosmic Trip, you’ll build and maintain an army of bots in your effort to conquer a whimsical world. If you like colorful real-time strategy games in VR, you may also be interested in Tethered.

A colorful sci-fi world

In this VR strategy game, you’ll harvest resources and battle enemies on a exotic alien world using a variety of bots, weapons and structures. Unlike in most other strategy games, you won’t be commanding the action from an overhead view. Instead, you’ll travel first-person via teleportation devices to different bases – located in environments like deserts, caves and canyons – where you can perform tasks in your bid to dominate the planet. These tasks mainly involve researching new technology, buying bots and building structures. You can even personalize your bots with quirky items like a top hat or sunglasses. Best of all, the game comes with a number of game modes covering different levels of difficulty, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced gamers.

Casual strategy game experience

The game’s graphics are big, bold and colorful – reminiscent of a Pixar film with a touch of retro sci-fi style. Because the game is in VR, much of the gameplay is simplified for ease of use. As a result, there are only a few types of bots, no special unit formations and a limited research tree. For this reason, some hardcore fans of real time-strategy games might be disappointed with the lack of depth. But if you’re looking for a fun, stylish game that uses VR to its full potential, Cosmic Trip is definitely a game you’ll want to consider.
