MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE
Welcome back recruit! MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE is a frantic VR FPS roguelite where players craft powerful hand-held weapons and struggle to survive — er defeat — the MOTHERGUNSHIP. Experience room scale movement*, dodging, limbo-ing and even relishing the satisfaction of literally punching through clouds of bullets, all while perfecting your weapon masterpiece.
Survive the MOTHERGUNSHIP’s metal minions and earn gun parts to add to your weapon, easily picking them up and snapping them into place in VR. You’ll choose from a wild array of distinct gun parts and upgrades like chainguns, railguns, and pizza launchers (yes, explosive pizzas) to forge hell-ish combinations. Design your weapon, then destroy the MOTHERGUNSHIP fleet as alien machines, explosive traps, metal pests, and deadly bosses do everything they can to blast you and your weapon back to square one.
*MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE includes accessibility modes to support all players. Seated-mode enables stationary gameplay, and free movement mode enables the player character to dodge with the controller. More accessibility information can be found in the game’s settings.
*MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE supports Meta Quest 2, Valve Index, HTC Vive, and HP Reverb G2.

While it is a little dumbed down from the original Mothergunship, it brings more with VR than it lost from complexity.
The controls for building guns were a little hard for me to use at first, but I got used to it quickly.
Easy to pick up, easy to play short sessions, so well worth it.

OK. I wasn't expecting much from a gimmick game but this is FUN and ADDICTIVE.
Surprisingly well polished too! All the little details put me in mind of Deep Rock Galactic.
The game is incredibly simple, but as you go along, you are introduced to new game modes, variables and ways of playing (not to mention the many MANY gun parts) that make the game feel fresh every time.
Currently, I'm 6 hours in and I can tell that there's still a ton of stuff to be introduced.
One of the key features that gets mentioned in some reviews is the speed at which you can get into the action. This is very appreciated, especially with VR games that often take a lot of setup to get started.
This one? You hit PLAY, it loads fast then you click play in game and bam! You're playing!
As any seasoned Dolphin hunter will tell you: "Fewer clicks are better"
As for visuals, sound, humour, music and gameplay? It feels as if Popcap made a VR game here.
It's got all those satisfying sparkles and bleeps that make these kinds of games such a pleasure.
Very fun, tight and polished design, I'm super impressed.

Awesome game, more than just a wave shooter. Roguelite where you build your gun setup on each hand with unique upgrades, weapon types, and connector pieces to connect more. You physically have to move out of bullets, enemies and more.

I have come a long way from my Xbox One and playing Tower Of Guns for the first time, years later, I find out they made another wacky gun game called Mothergunship. Mothergunship added the open ended creativity of making your own weaponry, with many the mutators that you have come to know from other popular roguelites,
Mothergunship Forge flew under my radar as a VR player and I am remiss steam didn't recommend it to me sooner, because it is quite the VR Wave shooter.
It really takes a second pair of eyes to add a new thinking process in this game, playing coop with a friend, he had designed an "over the shoulder" weapon because he had a damage multiplier for every barrel not aiming "forward" meaning he had to hold it as if it was a disposable missile launcher, not only had I never got given the pieces to replicate that build itself, I had never thought of it in my time playing.
If you like thinking outside the box to have op weaponry or builds in roguelites and are missing that experience for a vr game, get this game.

It's fun, just know that there is no meta-progression outside of unlocking new blocks and guns. Very solid game.

I played literally around 10 minutes - I can tell I'll have a lot of fun with this game.
No sound though? For some reason it's the only VR game that didn't have sound...

Couldn't stop playing when I first tried this game. Each run kept feeling better and better with me making it to the second boss which was the coolest thing ever and had me laughing like a kid from sheer badassery. Super fun and there is so much content for a great price so I consider this a peak VR game!
