About

In EVE: Valkyrie, you are in command of a heavily armed fighter in the most realistic dogfighting game available on any platform. Immersive VR technology puts you right in the cockpit for visceral team-based action. EVE: Valkyrie is an a multiplayer dogfighting shooter that has been built from the ground up to harness the very latest advances in virtual reality technology. It is an accessible and immersive experience that fulfills the fantasy and thrill of being a real spaceship pilot in the midst of combat. Set deep in the lawless regions of the EVE Universe, the Valkyrie are a breakaway mercenary faction formed from the infamous Guristas pirate organization. Led by the enigmatic Ran, they are guns for hire, seeking profit or vengeance and preying on other pirate factions who get in their way. Immortalized via the use of stolen clone technology and genetically enhanced for combat, Valkyrie pilots fly without fear and without mercy. Developed by CCP Games’ Newcastle studio, EVE: Valkyrie is the boldest realization of virtual reality space combat, combining immediate visceral action and tactical depth. It will launch day and date with the Oculus Rift on PC and Sony’s “Project Morpheus” on PlayStation 4.

EVE: Valkyrie is one of the better PlayStation VR experiences out there at the moment – a true Top Gun. Packing slick design and stunning visuals, as well as thrilling gameplay. For fans of multiplayer space dogfighting, this is the (un)real deal. Virtual hats off to CCP on creating a fantastic space combat experience.

There is some single-player content, but other than the challenging wave-based survival mode, which is a great way to learn the abilities and limitations of a newly unlocked ship, the appeal wears off quickly. What passes for campaign missions are so quick and easy they’re barely there at all, and the enemy ships are so weak they might be made of tinfoil. There’s also a “scout” mode where you search uninhabited maps for hidden items to reveal extra bits of lore, which couldn’t be less exciting. Not knowing anything about EVE Online’s lore the story of cloned pilots signing up as mercenaries didn’t do much for me, though the voice acting isn’t bad.

Strong first impressions make this ideal when showing off your new Rift headset, but theres little to keep you flying beyond those first few moments.
