Lucky's Tale (VR)
Lucky's Tale is a delightful platforming adventure game designed exclusively for the Oculus Rift. Join Lucky as he runs, jumps, climbs and spins his way through a bright, colorful world filled with thrilling challenges, wacky creatures, and all the shiny things a little fox could ever want! Built from the ground up for virtual reality, Lucky's Tale offers a unique twist on the classic character action game (3rd-person-perspective platformer.) Its innovative approach to the camera, character motion, environment and gameplay all work together to provide a highly comfortable experience while allowing players to freely roam diverse, immersive environments. Whether you're racing with Lucky through lush trees, dodging swamp pits or battling menacing bosses, you'll feel like you’ve truly gone inside the world of a video game thanks to the magic of VR. One of gaming's most beloved genres has found a new home. Lucky's Tale is platforming the way it was always meant to be.
