Blendo Games has been one of the pioneers of storytelling in gaming for the better part of a decade. Blendo’s games range from “walking-simulators” all the way up to action-based hackers. Blendo have an unmistakable air of confidence, exuding the perfect amount of cinematic influence while still using the video game medium to their advantage.
One of the early games that thrust Blendo into the indie spotlight wasFlotilla, so while it should be no surprise that they would return to these roots for a sequel, it may be surprising to learn thatFlotilla 2will be a virtual reality title.
WhileFlotilla 2will utilize VR for its interface, the gameplay looks to be very similar to the original. Taking place in space,Flotilla 2will once again have players move around large spaceships to gain a tactical advantage against their foes. Utilizing room-scale VR,Flotilla 2will take turn-based battles to a new dimension.
Unfortunately for those of us without a headset, the game is only planned for released for the VR platform, specifically the HTC Vive for the aforementioned room-scale capability. Those of us thatdohave a VR headset can look forward to playingFlotilla 2when it arrives, August 1.
