Light Tracer Casts onto HTC Vive, Oculus Rift to Follow

Oasis Games Ltd. is inviting players to take possession of celestial powers and a magical light staff as they transport themselves to the grand adventure that awaits in Light Tracer. Following its debut on PlayStation VR, the virtual reality (VR) exclusive Light Tracer is now available for HTC Vive via Steam, with an Oculus Rift compatible edition set to launch later this month.

In Light Tracer, players can aid the enchanting princess as she scales the Babel-esque towers, in search of a cure for a cruel disease in this unique puzzle platform videogame. Using godlike powers players will wield a Light Staff and manipulate views for better interactions. The videogame combines platform-style movement and a variety of puzzles with unique play mechanics. Players will direct the Princess through action-platform stages using jumping skills, precise timing and strategic attacks using the Princess’ sword to get around enemies.

The Princess’ journey comprises eight varied chapters where she will encounter rock-throwing trolls, a world of snow, slippery ice and new monsters to fight; each ending with a challenging boss battle. To celebrate the princess’ journey into an even broader virtual world, Oasis Games and Void Dimensions have improved on the magical worlds and the experience that awaits in Light Tracer for both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift releases with enhanced graphics and a more ‘natural’ control system.

Having made its debut on PlayStation VR in October last year, VRFocus delivered a review of Light Tracer, stating: “The art and graphics are beautiful, slightly stylised and cartoonish in a way that suits the feel and atmosphere of the title perfectly. The music is also nicely done, a pleasant background that while mildly repetitive, never becomes grating.”

Developed by Void Dimensions and published by Oasis Games, Light Tracer is available for $14.99 USD on Steam and $11.99 on the PlayStation Store. The Oculus Rift version will launch at a currently unspecified date late in January 2018, available via the Oculus Store, and VRFocus will keep you updated with all the latest VR titles from Oasis Games.

Oasis Games’ Puzzle Platformer Light Tracer Coming to Steam January 2018

A couple of months ago Chinese publisher Oasis Games launched one of its best titles yet for PlayStation VR, Void Dimensions puzzle platform Light Tracer. Today the company has announced it’ll be extending support to Steam in 2018, allowing Oculus Rift and HTC Vive players to delve into the cartoon world.

Light Tracer is a mixture of platform-style movement and puzzles where players guide a princess with a Light Staff in one hand whilst the second controller manipulates the world, giving them a better view and interacting with objects to open paths. It’s not just puzzles players have to solve either, they’ll need precise timing and strategic attacks using the Princess’s sword to get around enemies. The Princess’s journey comprises eight chapters where she will encounter rock-throwing trolls, a world of snow, slippery ice and new monsters to fight; each ending with a boss fight.

For the Steam launch Oasis Games will be adding improvements to Light Tracer, improving the visual finish over the PlayStation VR version. Both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift releases will be updated with enhanced graphics and optimised visuals, helping to further immerse players in the rocky, snowy, gravity-bending environments. Additionally, being godly is made easier as the game’s operation system has been upgraded for a more natural control.

Light Tracer will be released via Steam on 15th, January, 2018, retailing for $14.99 USD. Oasis Games also plan on making the videogame available through the Oculus Store at a later date.

VRFocus reviewed Light Tracer for PlayStation VR, awarding it four stars, saying: “Light Tracer is a well-crafted VR platform title. Once you get used to the controls, it becomes challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. There are some very frustrating elements, but not enough to spoil the gameplay entirely.”

Oasis Games’ previous VR titles include Time of Virtual Reality’s (TVR) Ace Banana, Pixel Gear from Geronimo Interactive, Weeping Doll from TianShe Media, Nekcom’s DYING: Reborn, and Mixip, most of which launched on or around the time of PlayStation VR’s arrival in 2016.

VRFocus will continue its coverage of Oasis Games, reporting back with its latest announcements.
