Prolific independent developer Free Lives (Broforce, Genital Jousting) and game label Devolver Digital have announced a blood oath partnership on GORN, the highly anticipated VR gladiator simulator, with plans to release the game on Vive via Steam Early Access on July 10th.
GORN is a ludicrously violent VR gladiator simulator, made by Free Lives, the developers of Broforce and Genital Jousting. Featuring a unique, fully physics driven combat engine, GORN combatants will be able to creatively execute their most violent gladiatorial fantasies in virtual reality. Savagely strike down an infinite supply of poorly-animated opponents with all manner of weapons – from swords, maces, and bows, to nunchuks, throwing knives, massive two-handed warhammers or even your blood-soaked bare hands. The only limits to the carnage are your imagination and decency, in the most brutal and savage VR face-smashing game ever produced by man.
Check out the Trailer:
You’re a gladiator, trapped in a bizarre little outdoor arena. Above you, sitting all around the arena, are disembodied heads. Their purpose is to mock you. The biggest head floats high up on a pedestal, front and center. This head seems to be the main head; a king, perhaps. Via his demeaning words, he quickly guides you through how to play the game. You can make fists (you have two Vive wands) and grab weapons; whack the incoming gladiator in whatever way brings you the greatest joy.
