Ha, okay, so here’s a thing. Neat Corp, you might’ve heard of them if you’ve been around the VR block. They’re the brains behind the whole Budget Cuts thing. Anyway, now they’ve got this new VR game called Crossings. Picture this: you’re waving swords and casting spells through, uh, the Norse afterlife. Yeah, exactly what I thought — wild, right?
So, they call it a co-op roguelite. Sounds fancy. But really, you’re just in this constantly changing world seeking revenge—maybe, possibly trying to survive. Whatever comes first, I guess. You’re alongside other lost souls, and it’s like, “Yo! Let’s block, dodge, and throw some magic at these trolls and draugrs.” And what are draugrs? No idea, but they sound scary.
Now, here’s where it gets spicy. Each time you play, you’re learning new spells and upgrading Viking-ish weapons. Think blades, clubs, and some ancient thing named ‘Tooth of Nör.’ Just the name sounds like it’ll stab right through the air. So many trolls, draugr, and ghosts—it’s like joining a mythology class, but with cooler teachers. Or maybe not teachers. Guides? Eh, who knows.
Neat Corp paints a picture with their words, kind of like, you awaken all freezing in a forgotten land. Maybe this resonates, or it doesn’t. Who knows what’s next? The whole body-spirit combo gets real trippy here. You’re navigating some world reshaped by ancient magic—no biggie.
They make it so you’re bumping into other souls, and communication? It’s all about the movement, man. You block, dodge, hit, and boom, magic! Like learning to read but, you know, with mythical creatures: trolls, draugr, stuff at the crossroads of life and death—a buffet of chaos.
You can go solo or team up; there’s something philosophical about it. Like, every decision leaves a mark, echoes from the past, yadda yadda. It’s one heavy ride.
When can you get your hands on this journey? Dunno. But you can wishlist it on the Horizon Store for Quest or Steam for PC VR. Oh, and heads up: there’s a playable PC VR demo at Steam Next Fest or something from October 14th-21st. A solo slice of the bigger pie—if you’re into that sort of appetizer before the main course.
Well, that’s about it until they drop more deets. Keep your axes sharp and your fingers crossed!
