Phaser Lock Interactive has created a real-time strategy combat game dubbed Final Assault for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. It stands out from other VR RTS games because it skips the boring stuff like building a base.

I played the game at an Oculus event. It’s coming out in late 2018 on the Oculus Rift and Touch, and it will also debut on the HTC Vive and PlayStation VR. Phase Lock is showing the game off this week at the Oculus Connect 5 event in San Jose, California.
