Description: You know how you’ll be driving around, minding your own business, then suddenly hit bad traffic with no obvious reason why? The answer is simple: Evil Robots! They love to create traffic jams all over the world.
For no apparent reason, robots have set their sights on your town with the aim of creating Total Gridlock! Traffic must be contained at all costs. As a member of the Evil Robot Defense Force, place defences in your cities, such as explosive Missile Towers, hazardous Frost Towers, and deadly Rail Guns. Engage the help of Mass Transit to take out the opposition. If all else fails, command your orbiting battle cruisers to fire!
Evil Robot Traffic Jam brings the tower defence genre into VR from the ground up. The environment comes to life: vehicles explode like popcorn around you, ambient objects and effects delight in every direction, and you feel in complete control and comfort as you strive to rid the world of bad traffic!
Review: It doesn’t matter what system you play Evil Robot Traffic Jam on, it’s always a great strategy game that makes good use of VR. The Steam version is no different, making good use of motion controllers and to be honest, this is pretty much a pick-up and play game that doesn’t need much explaining. With some funny lines, good 3D depth on the cute cartoon-style graphics as well as bucket loads of gameplay this game is always worth a download. If you love your tower defence games you will feel right at home here, but if you just want to see a VR game done well it is also worth seeing for that reason.
