Cosmic Trip is an award-winning real-time strategy VR game. Build a base, command a flying drone army, and attack/defend hostile enemies on strange alien planets.
The core gameplay loop involves building and commanding an army of robotic "cosmo bots" to gather resources, defend against hostile alien enemies, and ultimately destroy the opposition. The game places the player directly in the center of the action, designed specifically for virtual reality (VR).
The game utilizes the full range of motion and interaction afforded by VR controllers, allowing players to directly manipulate objects in the environment, build structures, and command their robot army with natural, intuitive gestures and motions. This VR-centric approach creates a more immersive and engaging real-time strategy (RTS) experience, as players feel a stronger connection to their in-game actions.
Players must strategically construct various facilities, such as factories and refineries, to gather the necessary resources (minerals and gas) and expand their operations. Careful placement and arrangement of these structures are crucial, as players must consider factors like choke points, line of sight, and resource node locations to optimize their base. Effective resource allocation and management are key to successfully fending off the alien onslaught.
Players can command a variety of bot types, each with their own specialized abilities and functions, such as harvesters, defenders, and attackers. Effectively deploying and coordinating these bots is a core aspect of the gameplay. Players must strategically position their units, issue commands, and react to the shifting battlefield conditions to overcome the alien threat. The VR implementation allows for a more direct connection to the robot forces, as players can physically interact with and direct the bots using their hands and controllers.
In addition to their robot army, players have access to a variety of defensive and offensive tools, including turrets, slingshot-like projectile weapons, and other futuristic armaments. Utilizing these specialized capabilities, in conjunction with their bot forces, allows players to create intricate and layered defensive strategies. Deciding when and how to employ these various tools is a key part of the strategic decision-making.
The game offers multiple game modes, including a fully featured strategy mode, that provide a considerable amount of replayability. As players progress, they can unlock new bot types, weapons, and environmental areas to explore, adding depth and variety to the gameplay. The emphasis on emergent, real-time strategy, combined with the flexibility of the VR control scheme, ensures that each playthrough offers a unique and engaging experience.
