Spiritual Sequel ‘Action Hero’ to ‘Superhot’ Introduces New Level and Mode in Update

Fast Travel Games has just rolled out an exciting update for their VR shooter, Action Hero (2024), a game that draws inspiration from the popular Superhot series. This latest update, free for all players, introduces a chilling new level and an arcade mode that are sure to spice up the gameplay.

Among the standout features of this update is the ‘Cult of Darkness’ level, now available on all Quest headsets—models 2 and up. For those using Quest 3 and 3S, there’s an added treat with the exclusive arcade game mode. Dive into this horror-themed level where you’re tasked with battling your way through terrifying new missions. Expect to face off against fresh foes like zombies, armed with new weapons to amp up the thrill, as highlighted by Fast Travel.

The Arcade mode on Quest 3 takes competition to new heights, allowing players to chase high scores across every level in the game. The development team has also enhanced each level’s visual effects and user interface, which brings a refreshing polish to the experience.

Here’s a quick rundown of what Fast Travel is offering in this update:

• 6 Core Movies & 6 Director’s Cuts: Experience a modern action saga—you can raid enemy bases in thrilling heists, delve into the mysteries of ancient ruins, and more. Once you conquer these, try the Director’s Cut versions for even more daring scenarios.

• Comfortable, Cinematic Design: Enjoy stationary combat that prioritizes your physical movements over button mashing, coupled with slow-motion sequences that let you fight with finesse.

• Weekly Shot Challenge & Other Features: Aim for perfection with your runs for high scores, discover hidden collectibles, or adjust the difficulty with Relaxed Mode. The Weekly Shot Challenge adds excitement by melding four random acts into a single movie, letting players compete for top scores.

Released exclusively for Quest users back in December, Action Hero stands out with its thrilling shootouts across levels inspired by beloved movie genres. The game captures these heart-pounding moments in cinematic slow motion for a truly immersive experience.

Priced at a wallet-friendly $20, Action Hero has made quite an impression on the Horizon Store, earning a commendable [4.7/5] from approximately 150 reviews. This update promises to keep both new and returning players engaged and entertained.
