Happy Kamper Pictures has announced the availability of its Kaiju cosplay game, Block Buster VR, for PCVR on Steam. The studio’s debut title lets players live out their childhood fantasies of stomping through cities, chomping humans, and toppling buildings as an oversized monster.
An homage to classic kaiju films, Block Buster VR is a larger-than-life action-arcade scavenger hunt that’s all about creative demolition. It combines full-body destruction with cosplay, collecting, and crafting. Players will tear through cities, toss tanks, smash buildings, nibble people, and leave a wake of annihilation in their path as they clear objectives and earn collectibles to decorate their ultimate monster fan lair.
Previously released earlier this year for Meta Quest 2, the PCVR version of Block Buster VR includes all the features in the recent Monster Mayhem update – three supersized weapons: The Wattage Whacker, Wreck-It-Ball, and the Techromancer. It also includes new actions that let you “play with your food”, and new family-friendly settings. There’s also the addition of the Karnage Shop, where players can purchase or unlock collectibles, weapons, eight new color palettes for Kaiju costume customization, and – in the future, new monsters, skins, cosmetics, and more.
Block Buster PCVR Edition
Exclusive to the PCVR edition of Block Buster VR are new post-production color filters so players can enhance the look of their game. Add a little sepia tone or film grain for that classic monster movie mood, or the orange-teal and black lines filters for an anime aesthetic.
“We made the people-eating, city-crushing Kaiju game we always wanted to play,” said Doug Herzog, Happy Kamper Pictures co-founder. “Now we’re excited to bring Block Buster for PCVR to Steam with a bunch of improvements that not only enhance how the game looks and performs but adds new features such as Kaiju-sized props you can use as weapons.”
Block Buster VR is available now for PCVR on Steam. The game is benefitting from a launch discount of 20% for a limited time, priced at $15.99 USD (normally $19.99). There’s also a free demo available now.
