Best Shooting Games for the Oculus Quest Android Central 2020

The Oculus Quest is practically built for shooting games. Its support for two Touch Controllers and the lack of wires or external hardware make it an excellent device for dodging bullets and firing at enemies. The Oculus Store has several titles that take advantage of this setup, ranging from post-apocalyptic zombie shooters to robot mauling mayhem.

★ Featured favorite: Robo Recall: Unplugged

Robo Recall is a chaotic shooter where you have to "shut down" robots that have gone haywire. And by "shut down," I mean shoot, blast apart with a shotgun, or rip to pieces. You can block bullets with guns, blow robots apart, and rip a robot's head off and use its body as a weapon in this insane shooter.

Argghhh: Space Pirate Trainer

Staff pick

Space Pirate Trainer feels like an immersive VR version of Space Invaders mixed with a classic arcade shooter. You stand still and defend yourself from waves of enemies.

Matrix VR: Superhot VR

This isn't a traditional fast-paced shooter. Instead, it's a slow-motion world where you can dodge bullets and plan your attack strategy to take out every enemy before getting hit.

Bow vs bot: Apex Construct

Rather than shooting guns, this game gives you a bow and arrow to battle robots. In addition to combat, it makes you solve puzzles as part of a story where you're the last human on the planet.

Stealth action: Espire 1: VR Operative

FPS games aren't as common in VR as they should be, but Espire 1 helps close that gap a bit. It's a shooter that requires you to move with some stealth. For example, you can sneak up on people and say FREEZE to stop them in their tracks!

Metal on metal: Death Lap

What's better than a racing game in VR? How about a racing game in VR that lets you shoot your opponents with Gatling guns and machine guns? You also have to avoid giant tacks and obstacles in this thrilling racer.

Shoot to the music: Pistol Whip

This rhythmic shooter brings the action to you. You shoot, dodge, dance, and defeat enemies to the rhythm of music to feel like you're in an action movie.

Ready, aim, fire!

The Oculus Quest has a wide range of shooters. You can play less violent shooting games like paintball within Rec Room or blow off zombies' limbs in games like Dead and Buried II. The Touch Controllers track well enough that you can accurately aim at opponents, and their triggers make it natural to shoot down your enemies.

The first shooting game I'd recommend on the Oculus Quest is Robo Recall: Unplugged. It's a frantic shooter that lets you rip robots apart and blow machines up with shotguns and other weapons. It's incredible on the Oculus Quest because you can spin around and fight enemies freely. The controls are also natural, allowing you to reload and switch guns from virtual holsters on your hip and back.

Another great title is Space Pirate Trainer. It feels like an immersive version of space invaders mixed with a classic arcade. It's an excellent display of the Oculus Quest's abilities as a shooting VR system and a great game to show your friends.
