Wild West Shooter Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR Aims for April Launch on Oculus Quest

Head on over to the Oculus Quest coming soon page on the Oculus Store and you’ll see a growing selection of titles awaiting their release. The latest to feature in MiroWin’s first-person shooter (FPS) Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR, ported over from its PC cousin which launched back in 2018.

Guns n Stories Bulletproof VR new image4

For those who love their cowboy boots and hats, Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR is set in the Wild West, well themed on it at least. Like the shootouts you see in every western, the gameplay is all about being quick on the draw and killing loads of bad guys with your two six-shooters.

Offering a story campaign where an old cowboy tells his grandson tales about dashing skirmishes with bandits during his youth, these stories are somewhat embellished. Like the fact that you don’t merely have access to a couple of pistols but a wide-ranging arsenal, from throwing weapons to futuristic firearms. Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR has a sense of humour throughout, so players will come across steampunk style enemies, flying drones and cowboys riding segways to name just a few.

Gameplay is your standard wave-shooter style, you may not be able to wander around but you can duck behind cover and use the environment to your advantage. If you can’t be bothered to evade incoming bullets then you can always shoot them out the air.

MiroWin has scheduled Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR for release on Oculus Quest’s dedicated store for 2nd April 2020. Over on Steam, the videogame has a downloadable demo so for those with a suitable PC and an Oculus Link compatible cable you can always give it a try first.

There are a number of titles coming to Oculus Quest in the coming days including Down the Rabbit Hole, The Room VR: A Dark Matter, B-Team and Lies Beneath. VRFocus will continue its coverage of the latest Oculus Quest experiences, reporting back with further updates.

Western Shooter Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR Is Coming To Quest

Oculus Quest’s latest wave shooter is a port of the Wild West-themed Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR.

Guns’n’Stories first released on PC VR headsets a few years back before coming to PSVR. It’s developed by Hungary-based Mirowin (which is currently working on its latest title, Boiling Steel).

The game stars an old gunslinger, telling stories of his youth. That translates to you dual-wielding pistols/tommy guns and gunning down hordes of bandits. The campaign promises a full story-driven mode. If you want to give it a try before you buy, you can download a free preface for the game and try it via Oculus Link.

We’ve never reviewed the game ourselves but this looks like fairly standard shooter fare. It holds a ‘Very Positive’ user review rating on Steam based on over 200 reviews, so it seems like the internet likes it at least. Still, it’s been two years since its first release, so don’t expect a cutting edge experience.

You can wishlist Guns’n’Stories on the Quest store now. No word yet on if there’s cross-buy with the Rift version of the game. A final release date hasn’t been announced, but we’d expect it to be fairly soon given its official listing.

It’s been a pretty dry patch for Quest releases of late; just a handful of apps have released so far in 2020. But Ghost Giant is out next week and Pixel Ripped 1995 is coming this spring, so hopefully the drought is nearing its end.

Will you be picking up Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR on Oculus Quest? Let us know in the comments below!

Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR

“Mention wave shooters to a VR player and they’ll probably roll their eyes. Titles in this genre need to have something special about them to even be worthwhile.

So long as MiroWin adds plenty of content during early access then Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR could very well be a hit.” – Read VRFocus’ Senior Staff Writer Peter Graham preview of Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR.

HoloLAB Champions

HoloLAB Champions

“As a normal piece of VR content HoloLAB Champions is short but sweet, offering an informative introduction into the world of chemistry. This isn’t the sort of title where you can go all mad scientist and create crazy concoctions – there’s Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality for that – but it’s not meant to be. As a teaching tool it’s quite easy to see how VR has a place within education.” – Read VRFocus’ Senior Staff Writer Peter Graham review of HoloLAB Champions.

Acknowledging the achievement, MiroWin said in a statement:

“We love games and want to make a VR-gaming enjoyable and widespread. That is why we wanted to create a simple, fun and dynamic game, in which people could fall out of reality for a short time and get fresh and bright emotions that can be experienced only in childhood. Pure fun!

“Our cowboys comes from Hollywood, so they do not waste time for reloading weapons, can dodge bullets and easily deal with hordes fearsome, but invariably comical enemies.

“You will not be languish with the boredom and monotony of traditional westerns, because we added to the game an impressive arsenal of firearms, throwing weapons, and even futuristic weapons.

“Those of you who will not skip storyline will be able to see in the game more than the “regular wave shooter.” (Take advantage of this to take a breath after the heated shootings).

“We are sure that you will appreciate the diversity of locations, the jokes of old Bill and the driving soundtrack of the western and blues rock.

“Yes, with unaccustomed you can get tired legs, hands and especially your fingers, but  true immersion in another world must to respond to all our senses. Isn’t it? “Mobilis in Mobili””

Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof VR für Oculus Rift und HTC Vive erschienen

Mit dem First-Person-Shooter Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof VR für Oculus Rift und HTC Vive brachten die Entwickler Mirowin einen weiteren VR-Wave-Shooter auf den Markt, der das Western-Genre mit Steampunk-Elementen und Humor vereint. Dabei unterscheidet sich der Titel im Gameplay nicht sonderlich von anderen Wave-Shootern, kann jedoch mit Sarkasmus und einer netten Atmosphäre punkten.

Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof VR – ein Wave Shooter im Westernstil

In Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof VR erzählt ein Großvater seinem Enkel über sein Leben als Kopfgeldjäger im Wilden Westen. Dabei nimmt er es mit der Realität nicht ganz so genau und wirft hier und da ein paar amüsante Sprüche ein. Der Spieler übernimmt die Rolle des Revolverhelden in den Geschichten und ballert sich durch Horden von Gegnern. Mit den skeptischen Kommentaren des Enkels verändert sich jedoch jedes Mal die Geschichte und bringt so auf humorvolle Weise einige Twists ins Spiel. So fragt der Enkel an einer Stelle eines Levels, ob Revolver wirklich auf diese Art schießen konnten. Der Großvater verneint dies nur trocken, woraufhin sich die Revolver des Helden in Maschinenpistolen verwandeln, womit dieser das Level abschließen darf.

Guns-n-Stories-Bulletproof-HTC-Vive-Oculus-Rift-Steam-VR

In Sachen Gameplay unterscheidet sich der VR-Shooter nicht sonderlich von anderen Spielen des Genres. Die Level verlaufen im klassischen Wave-Shooter-Stil und ihr feuert auf alles, was sich bewegt. Ihr könnt durch schnelles Töten eurer Gegner Killstreaks erreichen. So ist vom Doublekill bis zur Rampage alles möglich, was euch zusätzliche Bonuspunkte bringt. Mit euren Waffen könnt ihr anfliegende Projektile abwehren und hinter Kisten und Fässern Schutz suchen. Die Projektile könnt ihr entweder mit eigenen Kugeln zur Seite feuern oder mit euren Revolvern wegstoßen.

Guns-n-Stories-Bulletproof-HTC-Vive-Oculus-Rift-Steam-VR

Derzeit befindet sich der First-Person-Shooter noch in der Early-Access-Phase und beinhaltet drei Level mit einem Bosskampf am Ende der Geschichte. Zum Full Release soll der VR-Titel um weitere Level sowie ein größeres Waffenarsenal erweitert werden. Insgesamt vier verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade umfasst das Spiel derzeit.

Guns’n’Stories Bulletproof VR ist für Oculus Rift im Oculus Store und für HTC Vive auf Steam für 9,99 Euro erhältlich.

Preview: Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR – A Rootin’ Tootin’ Gunslinger

It’s fair to say that VRFocus likes the odd first-person shooter (FPS) or two as it seems like every other virtual reality (VR) preview or review revolves around the genre. Whilst that’s not necessarily a bad thing it does mean there are far more mediocre titles being launched than awesome standout videogames like Raw Data or Robo Recall. One of the latest to land on Early Access for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift is Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR from MiroWin, a comedy/wild west wave shooter with an addictive charm.

So what’s on offer? Well for this initial release MiroWin has three levels available with a sizeable boss fight at the end. You can play any of them straight from the off but that would be missing part of the storyline that’s so interwoven into the levels. You see it’s a grandfather talking about his past as a bounty hunter to his grandson, and naturally as he tells his tales they become more and more embellished which in turn changes how the videogame is played and what weapons you have at your disposal.

Guns n Stories: Bulletproof VR screenshot 1

To begin with you have one pistol to hand, then two. As the stages progress the grandfathers story becomes an even taller tale and you then get some machine guns – awesome looking ones at that – and by the end you’re suddenly equipped with this massive gun that has a combined machine gun and grenade launcher. It’s a novel approach to introducing gameplay elements, keeping you immersed in the action and the story at the same time.

The actual battles in Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR are great fun – you almost forget you’re playing a wave shooter – with enemies coming in two basic forms, ranged and melee. The melee characters will try and rush you, with a few decent headshots dispatching them fairly quickly. What’s nice about the enemies that use guns is that they also use cover – way too many wave shooters just go for the horde attack approach – so you can at least have a partial gun battle even if they are AI opponents. Shooting their hats off before getting that headshot is a novel touch but Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR has something else to add, shooting enemies bullets. Yes you can dodge out the way, or even knock them away with the gun, but shooting them out the air – if you’re really lucky towards another hostile – is a simple yet very satisfying mechanic.

Guns n Stories: Bulletproof VR screenshot 2

And these cartoon style physics are present throughout. When enemies are killed they’ll flail around like ragdolls, the guns have infinite ammo so there’s no reloading – the machine guns do have a clip but it’s automatic. It’s comedic without being too overly absurd.

Mention wave shooters to a VR player and they’ll probably roll their eyes. Titles in this genre need to have something special about them to even be worthwhile. The Secret Locations Blasters of the Universe had it and Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR looks like it might as well. So long as MiroWin adds plenty of content during early access then Guns’n’Stories: Bulletproof VR could very well be a hit.
