How to start playing ARVI Arena

ARVI VR specializes in developing VR Escape Rooms, but we decided to broaden the library with a new genre - VR Arcade Shooter.

Arena is a dynamic, multiplayer shooter with a rich variety of maps and weapons that will excite every fan of action games and bring out the competitive spirit. To win the game, players need to be in good physical health, and be extremely strategic.

Standard duration - 30 minutes
If the game is launched with the Tutorial, this won't affect the duration of the game itself;

If the game master selects 1/3/5/10min for players to wait for others to arrive in the Lobby when launching the game, this will also not affect the duration of the game itself.
8 Players (max)
5 outstanding weapons
16 breathtaking maps
12+ Age restriction

Features:

Arena has a special unique feature that makes it stand out from other arcade titles. A unique way of teleporting, by squares (2x2 meters). Within each 2m x 2m area, players move freely, which makes the game so much more dynamic.

If only 2 people play Arena, bots will be available to provide a challenge. These bots have the ability to adjust to the skill level of players, to provide the best experience possible.

The lower age limit is 12 years old. Even though this is a shooter, we have thought about teens, taking their psychological profiles into account, which is why there is no blood or gruesome imagery. When players are out of the game, they can watch other players in Spectator mode:

without the ability to move on the old maps.
with the ability to move, but without interaction, on new maps.

There are 16 picturesque maps:

5 weapons:

Main Gun - primary weapon has 10 shots. Always available. Ability to reload at any moment. Endless ammo. Small "recoil" from the shot.

SMG - Speed Stalk has 25 shots. This weapon allows you to shoot in bursts (hold the firing button), but with a huge "recoil" from each shot.

Rocket Launcher - has 3 shots. Fires a projectile which explodes, damaging everyone within a specific range. Players can reduce their damage by hiding behind a shield or anything on the map.

Precision gun - Sniper rifle has 5 shots. This is a perfect weapon to shoot opponents long distance.

Shotgun - Shotgun has 5 shots. Shoots small pellets. Will be useful in close proximity to opponents, and is capable of breaking the shield.

Arena is awesome for big groups of people: families can spend some quality time together, groups of friends have fun with a little competition, coworkers can play together in team building activities.
