DGMA :
ROBOCRACY is a VR project in the style of a sci-fi space co-op first-person shooter, the continuation of the successful DGMA Galactic Rangers VR project, which is very popular in the gaming arenas of China.
Developed primarily for mobile devices Oculus, Pico but also with the implementation of a port for SteamVR with improved graphics, lighting and special effects.
The studio has reimagined the old classic scroll-shooter/shoot-em-up arcade games like Space Impact, Raptor, Raiden, Tyrian.

Game features
Co-op mode for two players will allow you to have fun with friends or parents with their children (co-op mode will require 2 vr devices), players connected to the network can be anywhere and they do not need a lot of space, 1.5x1.5m2 is enough.
3 game acts with 5 levels each with an original design - which in total will make the passage of the main storyline at least 2 hours of the game session. This is a very large indicator for such a rich VR game and the user will return to the game at least 2 times.
There are 10 types of weapons available in the game, and each type can be held separately in each hand and in this way lethal combinations are obtained against opponents, making the gameplay exciting and special. Each playthrough can be completely different.
12 types of enemies of 3 different types and with 2 types of attacks each, which attack the player in different ways and appear randomly, which greatly increases the variability of the gameplay.
3 main bosses and 3 secondary bosses, each with its own unique concept and surroundings.
The player has two types of shields from possible damage, in different game situations the player will be forced to use different types of shields, which will add interest and involve in the passage, it will even be possible (if the player learns to use the shield well) to complete the game without using weapons at all.
The game will implement the mechanics of dodging its platform (a small drone on which the player flies in space and on the surface of planets), which makes it possible for the player to turn the game into an obstacle race, which multiplies the variety of the gameplay.
The story-tale of the game will not let you get bored and will be completely inside the gameplay, thereby making the player the epicenter of events.
3 game difficulty modes will make the game comfortable for both beginners and experienced players.
Player leaderboards will give you the chance to have your name inscribed in the Hall of Fame!
Game description
An Easy Learn game - the player flies through space and destroys the robots attacking him, defends himself from them with a shield and dodges obstacles, gradually moving along the plot of the game. Each game level is a part of the story in which the player is immersed along the way and turns out to be the center of these events, which gives him additional motivation to play. At the end of several levels of levels, the player is met by an opponent BOSS. Also in additional game modes, the player protects the earth's spaceship and participates in high-speed racing flights for accuracy. The player can play in these modes both alone and in a team with another player.
Synopsis (basic)
You are the Galactic Ranger of the earth army. A perfect combat unit capable of resisting robots in any conditions and situations. For the sake of the future of the Earth and for the sake of prosperity - the Army of the Earth sends you into the thick of the fighting. Finding and destroying the objects of the Robocracy in order to permanently defeat the enraged technology.
Target Audience and Possible Limitations
The project is originally aimed at an audience of 12+, since in the game, despite the large amount of shooting, there is no violence and murder (except for the destruction of robots, but robots do not have a mind and are not aware of themselves? is it murder?). The game, in a slightly ironic manner, represents the struggle of mankind against robots who want to enslave mankind, hence the name ROBOCRACY (A reference to the science fiction story "Surviving Planet" by author Harry Harrison). The game is intended for any gender and age, there are no religious or political beliefs in ROBOCRACY, and therefore it is able to capture the largest possible number of potential players. Parents of the child can safely allow the use of this game and play themselves. The studio does not recommend the project for people suffering from epilepsy without consulting a doctor and with caution for people with a weak vestibular apparatus.
