Real-time strategy game Brass Tactics places you in the middle of a VR battlefield

Brass Tactics is a real-time strategy game in virtual reality. Coming soon for the Oculus Rift and Touch, it makes you feel like you’re in the middle of a virtual tabletop game with castles and fantasy armies.

The art style is pretty, but it’s not super realistic. The hills are stacks of blocks layered on top of each other, like in a relief map. I played a round of the Oculus exclusive game at a recent preview event held by publisher Oculus Studios and developer Hidden Path Entertainment. It looks a lot like the clockwork map in the introduction for Game of Thrones television show, which was the inspiration for the game.
