‘STARVAULT’ Delivers Classic MOBA Gameplay with a First-Person VR Experience, Open Beta Available Now

Okay, so here’s the thing about STARVAULT… I stumbled upon it when Theia Games just threw the doors wide open for an open beta. You ever dive into a game expecting one thing and then—boom—you’re somewhere else entirely? That’s kind of what happened here. They’re talking classic MOBA, but in VR, if you can believe it. I mean, isn’t it wild?

Anyway, so there I was, suddenly part of these massive 5v5 brawls. Nine heroes to pick from. Each one as quirky as your favorite pair of mismatched socks. They’ve got weapons, skills, and who knows what else. Naturally, you go after enemy lanes and whatnot, knock down towers, grab strongholds. All strategic, right? Yet here I am, trying to remember if this reminds me more of a chess game or a chaotic rock concert.

Right—creeps and camps. Typical stuff, until you’re wrapped up in it. XP, credits, the whole shebang… it’s this cycle of unlocking and buying things, goodies for the next round. That’s gaming life, I guess?

Then it hits you with a jolt—kind of feels like playing HALO but with this VR spin. Imagine jumping through portals, bouncing off pads. The whole map’s at your feet. It’s sort of dizzying in the best way, you know?

Oh, quick note—they’re saying it’s in “an early stage,” and it’s totally free right now. No sneaky microtransactions. I checked. They say this summer—Summer 2025, mark your calendars—they’re going Early Access. More heroes, tweaks here and there, like seasoning a soup just right.

And then there’s talk of monetization—well, cosmetics and whatnot. I guess it’s like having a wardrobe for your heroes? Anyway, early 2026 they’re aiming at for the big launch. More everything, they say. Heroes, modes, maps—it’s like promising a whole festival.

They’re dreaming big—want this to be a VR esport. Oh, and you can hop in for free right now if you’ve got Quest 2 or better. It’s calling anyone who wants to get lost in a new kind of battlefield.

Weird metaphor, but imagine the tires on this game sound like wet cardboard on ice—slick, unpredictable, kind of thrilling. Or maybe that’s just me projecting.
