Proper light gun shooters are a rare thing nowadays, but one place the genre lives on is in the world of virtual reality. On Meta Quest, Crisis Brigade 2 is one such popular shooter. There will soon be another thanks to Thunderful Publishing and Sigtrap Games have just announced a light gun-style game of their own called Under Cover. It promises Time Crisis-style cover and reloading mechanics as well as 2-player online co-op.
Official description:
You can choose to play as Red-Eye or Magnum - two undercover agents too badass to stay undercover - in Under Cover’s colorful and humorous campaign. You’re on a quest to infiltrate an evil organization called Infidyne who are up to no good with the V-Chips they’ve implanted in people’s brains.
Featuring a full 5-6 hour campaign that you can tackle solo or in buddy-cop co-op mode with an online friend or AI, Under Cover’s retro score system rewards aim, speed and chained kills. That’s not to mention the game’s groundbreaking Active Cover System where you duck to reload, something which has most definitely not been done before anywhere else…
That sounds like a good time to me!
Under Cover is scheduled to release on February 15 on Meta Quest.
