you can play with friends without Q2-Q3

A short battle game. So even if you don’t have much time, you can still play a few rounds. It doesn’t matter if you win or loose, you still get some coins to buy upgrades for your weapons and cosmetics. You can invite friends, and play togheter. Even if you don’t have a headset.

Simple and fun

Positive game, without complex mechanics, which makes the game more dynamic, some of the equipment requires payment, but without donations I can also play comfortably the only thing I couldn't do - was to combine my profile on the phone with the profile in the VR headset :(

Fast Action Packed Shooter

Vortex9 is easily one of the most intense and stylish VR shooters I’ve played. From the moment you drop into the arena, the game throws you into fast paced, high energy combat that really shows off what virtual reality can do. The movement feels smooth and responsive, which is crucial in VR, and the controls are intuitive enough to pick up quickly while still offering depth for more competitive players. The variety of weapons keeps gameplay fresh, and switching between them mid fight feels seamless. The maps are vibrant and well designed, encouraging both aggressive plays and strategic positioning. What really stands out is the immersion. Dodging incoming fire, physically aiming your shots, and reacting in real time makes every match feel intense and personal. The sound design and visual effects amplify the chaos in the best way possible. Whether you’re new to VR shooters or a seasoned player looking for your next adrenaline rush, Vortex9 delivers a polished, action packed experience that’s hard to put down. Highly recommended!

A simple but action packed shootout!

Tbh, there isn’t anything innovative or unique about the game. However, that’s the beauty of it I think. It’s an addictingly fun game that you just simple jump in and have a shoot out bawl with players as a team or free for all! And it’s free so it’s a no brainer! Highly recommend!
