Augmented Empire is a cyberpunk tactical role-playing game for Samsung Gear VR. Played from an isometric, top down perspective, players navigate a team of 6 characters in X-COM-like strategic encounters. The games neo-noir setting not only feels wholly suitable for a VR game but it also functions brilliantly in a gameplay sense, too. Twinfinite played the game at EGX Rezzed and we were very impressed with how well VR felt applied in a strategy setting.

Coatsink CEO Tom Beardsmore told us With a strong focus on deep but accessible gameplay, we wanted to give Gear VR Gamers an extraordinary experience. Were thrilled with the caliber of talent involved in Augmented Empire.
