Wenkly Studio Sp. z o.o. - PvPvE Extraction Shooter - 2024 - Unity
Astro Hunters is a VR PvPvE extraction shooter in which the player takes on the role of a mercenary aka “Hunter” and completes tasks for the Mothership. The Mothership doesn't ask questions, so it's up to the players to decide whether they prefer to complete the task or steal evidence and gain a reward that way.
The player can complete missions, collect resources, plunder bases or hunt other players. It is up to them how they use the expedition.
