Pop-Up Pilgrims is the latest in a line of VR games that explores what you can do with 2D gaming inside of a 3D headset.
Developed by Dakko Dakko and coming exclusively to PlayStation VR (PSVR), Pop-Up Pilgrims sounds a little like VR’s own take on Lemmings. You use your headset to guide a group of pilgrims across treacherous levels that take advantage of VR by featuring several different layers. You simply look at an area that you want your pilgrims to interact with and they’ll follow your orders. However, you’ll need to keep a close eye on each of your minions, making sure they don’t get into too much trouble.
Check out the trailer below. It might not strike you as the most obvious PSVR title but the gameplay looks like it could provide some hectic fun and the 2D visuals should really pop (excuse the pun) in VR.
Dakko dakko is actually best known for 2D gaming with PS Vita releases like Floating Cloud Go Saves the Pilgrims. In fact, the studio actually first experimented with a port of that shoot ’em up into VR before moving onto this project. And, yes, those are the same pilgrims; you can even see the Cloud God hovering above.
Pop-Up Pilgrims is due for release on February 13th.
