States are at war.\u00a0 You play the part of a US army gunner, and you must defend your post with your turret armed with machine guns and rocket launchers.\u00a0 Heavy Fire: Red Shadow is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.\u00a0 It\u2019s also compatible with PSVR, but since I don\u2019t have any VR equipment, it\u2019s just reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>In the game, you\u2019re stationed in one spot, but you can move your gun around in 360 degrees.\u00a0 Use your reticule aimer to find out where the enemy is at, and whether they are stationary, on the move, or currently attacking you.\u00a0 Fire your machine guns at them with the R2 button, and the R1 button will deploy rocket launchers to destroy vehicles and boats quickly.\u00a0 You\u2019ll earn more rocket launcher missiles after defeating a certain number of minor enemies.<\/p>\n<p>As you defeat enemies, a meter will fill.\u00a0 Depending on how full it is, you can call in a number of air strikes with the L1 button.\u00a0 Airplanes can drop boxes to refill your health when you shoot them, or you can deploy infantry, helicopter support, and more.\u00a0 Side missions will appear from time to time, and if you complete those, you can get promoted and win perks.\u00a0 Complete a certain number of waves to pass a level, and if you run out of energy, it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 The game really seems more like a VR novelty than anything, and it really wasn\u2019t my cup of tea.\u00a0 Plus it gets pretty hard early on.\u00a0 But if you need a simple army themed VR game in your life, this may do the trick.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/heavy_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18420\"
