About the Game

Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR

HordeZ is an arcade VR rail shooter about zombies and demons for players who miss classic shooting gallery games in the style of Doom, Left 4 Dead and House of the Dead.

You are thrown into a dark world where waves of zombies and other demonic enemies keep coming at you, and your job is simple: stay alive, clear each level and create as much digital carnage as possible.

You play as a member of an elite squad equipped with everything you need for VR mayhem: a katana, pistols, machine guns, grenades and more. Every shot and every headshot depends on your own hands and reflexes — HordeZ plays like a true VR shooting range where aiming and speed are all that matters. It is not a complex survival simulator, but a straightforward, fast‑paced arcade experience that delivers the kind of bloody action fans of classic zombie shooters know and enjoy.

If you want more adrenaline, you raise the difficulty and step into hardcore. If you want to share the chaos, you invite a friend to co‑op and fight off the hordes together. All your results are recorded on global leaderboards, so every run is a chance to climb higher and prove you really know how to shoot in VR.store.steampowered
