What players say

Was about to purchase hubris as I had heard good things, when I was about to close the deal I saw the space action bundle which included guardians frontline for slightly more money and I figured why not, only clocked 2hrs in and I'm already impressed !! It's an awesome mix of FPS and RTS in VR. So far the campaign has been awesome and very addictive, I'm really looking forward to playing some pvp with real humans...

If you have been looking for a VR version of Starship Troopers, crossed with Natural Selection 2 and Helldivers 2, then this is the game for you! This wave defence crossover of tactical first person shooter combined with strategic tower defence elements is enough action to scratch any of your bug squashing itches!

should be 10x more popular, basically helldivers with tower defense elements added not bastardized
