That involves weakening an enemy to the point that they become stunned, and then grabbing them with a Bulletstorm-esque laser leash and using it to yank them into the air. While it’s hard to avoid bullets, you can give yourself a pretty steady supply of health using the amusingly titled ‘Groggy System’ mechanic. You can play from either seated or standing positions, and if you choose the latter be prepared to do a lot of ducking and diving. This is the sort of game that you’ll need to clear out some space for in order to get the best experience. It also lets you play with just one Move controller or even one or two DualShock 4 gamepads with motion controls, which is appreciated. To take cover you’ll need to duck your head down below waist-high crates or lean into the sides of doors and walls. Set in a distant future with muscle-bound meatheads that wouldn’t look out of place in a Gears of War game, you use two Move controllers to dual wield weapons, gunning down swarms of faceless enemies that pour in through doors and windows, all too happy to catch a bullet. On a purely physical level, this is the logical evolution of the light gun game in VR. As it turns out, Mortal Blitz is a pleasingly capable shooter that channels the arcade action of what’s proving to be a seminal series for VR: Time Crisis. Given the recent wave of underwhelming, somewhat rushed PSVR games from Asian territories ( Dying Reborn, Weeping Doll, Pixel Gear), you’d be forgiven for thinking this first-person shooter from Korean studio Skonec Entertainment wouldn’t be worth your time.
Given the genre’s dominance in the wider gaming industry, it’s surprising that we haven’t seen more of them on Sony’s platform so far, but at least Mortal Blitz offers a longer - if still all too brief - taste of action. That’s something of a problem, considering there’s only about about 15 minutes of gunplay to it. Six months on and London Heist is arguably still PSVR’s best shooter.
