ASTRO BOT:RESCUE MISSION

This VR game for home video game has the highest quality. Not only characters operated by players as well as controller in hand and head set, which means camera, intervenes the game world. This is a solution to VR games, which tend to pay attention to the immersion.

This game is polished rather than original. There are many senses and plays that only “ASTRO BOT” can offer. As a result, this game is evaluated as the only one.
