Ven VR adventure
Ven VR
Adventure
A third-person VR platformer built natively for virtual reality. Help Ven protect his alien home planet from Bruce Nelson and his machines, navigating floating platforms, defeating enemies, rescuing companions, and collecting magic in a colourful alien world.
Ven VR Adventure is a third-person VR platformer developed by Monologic Games and built from the ground up for virtual reality. You are positioned as a giant observer looking down at Ven, a small hero on his home planet, helping him navigate through floating platforms, battle mechanical enemies, rescue his captured animal companions, and ultimately defeat the villain Bruce Nelson before he harnesses the planet's magical energy for immortality.
The VR perspective is the game's defining mechanic: you look down at Ven's world from above and slightly behind, leaning and tilting your view to follow the action. You can zoom in and out to get a better view of obstacles ahead. The game includes a story campaign, time trial modes for speed runners, and global leaderboards. A post-launch update added free dynamic camera movement, audio fixes, and haptic feedback.
The game is designed to cater to both VR newcomers and experienced players, with accessible difficulty and the ability to look around freely in all directions. Rescuing companion animals across each level adds a collectible hook beyond simply completing stages. Quest Store user reviews lean positive, noting the colourful world design and VR integration.
