About the Game

The Burst is a smashing high-speed shooter in VR with intense movement and gunplay.
The story takes place on a desert prison planet, where convicts are preparing for rebellion.
You are sent to eliminate the infamous warlord.
Use everything at your disposal to restore order and escape.

GO WILD

An exciting combination of explosive parkour movement, grappling hook, vehicles and flesh-rending weapons will let you go absolutely crazy. Let your creativity run wild!

MAKE THIS WORLD BURST

Armory: More than ten different weapons to assist you in your mission. Carry them behind your back or swap them on the fly with the help of your grappling hook!
Enemies: Different factions - different rules. From the wild and barbaric Shelldogs to the ruthless and pyromaniac Boomboys and everything in between, you will never find a shortage of crazies to fight.

FASTER, FASTER!

Movement: Ditch the boring stick movement. Use your hands and body to experience the full range of parkour movement. Jump, climb, slide, wall run and rail surf your way across the desolate landscape of Damag!
Mirage: Your best friend in the deserts of Damag - the first ever reverse trike in VR. A driving experience you will never forget!
Grappling Hook: More than just a hook! Now it's also an actual combat tool that helps you control the flow of battle. Use it to grab weapons from afar, disarm your opponents, throw them into pits and unleash environmental destruction!

THE WORLD

Locations: Harsh deserts, deserted outposts, abandoned cities overrun by warring gangs - the true experience of a world collapsed after a nuclear catastrophe.
Story and Lore: An exciting and thrilling story on the surface, a vast lore underneath. Whether you want to dive deep or just touch the tip of the iceberg, you won't be disappointed.
