Starfighter Arduxim Multiplayer

Starfighter Arduxim Multiplayer is a free first-person space shooter from Fulby Technologies USA, published by Fulby Technologies. You sit in the cockpit of a starfighter and take on enemy starships flown by other players. This edition covers only the online battles; the single-player content is sold separately as a full version. It came to the Meta Horizon Store on August 2, 2021.

How it plays

Matches are tactical, fast-moving action between ships. The developer mentions several game modes plus a choice of ships and weapon load-outs to pick from before you launch.

Flying works in a few ways. You can steer with the thumbsticks on Touch controllers or a gamepad, or reach out and grab virtual cockpit controls, either with the controllers in hand or with your bare hands through hand tracking.

The separate full version adds a story campaign of 14 missions covering a first tour of duty on the front lines, a practice mode, and a survival mode against waves of enemies with an online leaderboard.

Multiplayer

You can fight on a team alongside friends or join free-for-all battles. The developer says the multiplayer is free to play, with no microtransactions and no ads.

Comfort

It supports seated, standing and room-scale play and is played with Touch controllers, a gamepad or hand tracking. Newer VR players may want to start with short sessions, since quick turns in a cockpit can take some getting used to.
