Description
Warpaint is a turn based physics board-game where you command an army of dwarves and launch catapults. Strike fear into your opponent with your customized, painted army. Victory is won through superior tactical positioning and siege dexterity. Climb the rankings and brag about your battle born brains. The game is easy to learn, quick to play, and maintains tension at a relaxed pace.
History
Designed from the ground up to suit virtual reality. All features available to regular users are also available in Virtual Reality. Supports seated, standing, and room scale experiences. Official support for Occulus coming soon.
This game is particularly appealing to fathers who wish to share a VR game with their children, since you may play against each other on the same computer -- with a single copy of the game. One person inside VR, the other controlling the keyboard and mouse. (See Quote #1)
