CHICAGO – TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2023 – Happy Kamper Pictures has announced that its inaugural title Block Buster VR, a Kaiju cosplay game that lets players live out their childhood fantasies of stomping through cities and toppling buildings as an oversized monster, is coming to Steam VR. To celebrate, the indie developer has released a free downloadable demo as part of this week’s Steam Next Fest.
Launched earlier this year for Meta Quest 2, Block Buster VR is an homage to classic kaiju films. This larger-than-life action-arcade scavenger hunt is all about creative demolition. It combines full-body destruction with cosplay, collecting, and crafting. Players will tear through cities, toss tanks, smash buildings, nibble people, and leave a wake of annihilation in their path as they clear objectives and earn collectibles to decorate their ultimate monster fan lair.
Block Buster VR offers five unique playable monsters and five cities to destroy. Players can customize their costumes, unlock new paths, and uncover hidden items as they earn points, prizes, and collectible items to exchange with friends.
- 5 unique, playable monsters with special abilities; 5 fully destructible cities to demolish.
- Hidden items and secret paths throughout each level. With over 200 collectible items and prizes to win.
- Be your beast self with avatar and monster costume customization.
- Includes the Monster Mayhem update with three unlockable super-sized weapons, the Karnage shop, more customization options, family-friendly settings, and new ways to “play with your food”.
- Awesome soundtrack by 8-bit Weapon and ComputeHer.
Block Buster VR is available on the Meta Quest 2 for $19.99 USD and is slated for release on Steam VR later this month. A downloadable demo is available now. For additional information, please visit blockbustergame.com, join our Discord, or follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
