UStwo Games, a British developer and the creators of the famed 3D Monument Valley Android mobile game that sold in excess of 2 million copies of the game in a single year is now ready to release their latest creation, Land’s End, in just a couple of days, more specifically on 30 October 2015.
The latest creation will be an ultra-realistic and exclusive release made for the Samsung Gear VR headset, that will drop its players into a puzzle filled, dreamy land similar to their Monument Valley game. Their latest, soon to be released video game title Land’s End, will take their players on an adventurous gameplay journey enjoyed from a perspective inside the mobile puzzler, Monument Valley.
The original inspiration for the studio was to create the first VR title of their Monument Valley game specifically for virtual reality gaming headsets such as Samsung’s Gear VR. The gaming creators related they wish to reimagine the experience of gameplay from inside the Monument Valley game. One of the first decisions the team made was that they would not simply copy the original approach they had to Monument Valley, with the team focused on precise 180° turns to to the fact that it would not properly translate to realism of their newly created virtual world. The effect works perfectly when viewed on an iPad, but provides a vomit-inducing effect when players I most in VR.
In order to negate the effect the team had to rethink how the game should be played in VR, which eventually let them arrive at a 360° world that still offers similar aesthetics to Monument Valley, players are required to make their way through a shipwreck while solving puzzles that enables them to find their way out of these individual situations. Ustwo’s latest creation has shown loads of promise derived from its high entertainment value and immersive experience, whilst additionally offering a welcoming break from the proliferation of titles such as first person shooters as well as other high-energy action intense titles.
Land’s End will be available from 30 October 2015 via Oculus’ gaming store on Gear VR only.
