Arcaxer is a turn-based VR RPG set in a virtual world besieged by violent entities. Take monsters face-to-face with first-person turn-based combat, while exploring the unusual world of Arcaxer in a 3rd-person god-like view.
See how far you can make it into the Stack, a tower which creates an endless number of randomly-generated dungeons to explore. Make it far enough in, and you might just end up taking on the elusive, and dangerous, Task Master.
TURN-BASED COMBAT IN VIRTUAL REALITY!
Experience intense battles in first-person as you weave in and out of enemy attacks and physically utilise the abilities and attacks in your arsenal. It’s just like turn-based games when you were a kid, except now you’re in the midst of it.
EXPLORE A HUGE VR WORLD
Discover a world teeming with friends and foes alike during a 20+ hour campaign. Learn about the hostile force known as the Toxin, chase down the elusive ‘Task Master’ and meet a unique cast of characters along the way.
UNIQUE PLAYER CLASSES
Choose between five classic RPG-inspired character classes, each with a unique playstyle reimagined for an absolutely out-of-this-world and intensely-immersive VR experience.
PROCEDURALLY GENERATED DUNGEONS TO EXPLORE AND CONQUER
Explore The Stack, a never-ending series of procedurally-generated dungeons that grow in challenge the further you explore. Fear not, each journey through The Stack will reward you with new loot and items, making your character even stronger.
PLAY FUN MINIGAMES
Fancy a break from the onslaught of enemies? Arcaxer has a number of minigames designed to help you better get to grips with the mechanics. You’ll also earn additional experience for blowing some steam off.
