The Great Flood launches as a free-to-play mixed-reality strategy game on Meta Quest 3 and 3S
SoulFire Studio and LingVision Games have launched The Great Flood on the Meta Horizon Store for Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S—a free-to-play mixed-reality real-time strategy game featuring 50+ mythical characters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas in 1v1 and 2v2 tabletop battles.
SoulFire Studio and publisher LingVision Games have officially launched The Great Flood, a free-to-play mixed-reality real-time strategy (RTS) and tabletop auto-battler game on the Meta Horizon Store for Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. Released on November 9, 2026 (live version 1.0.0), the game draws deep inspiration from ancient Chinese mythology and the Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shan Hai Jing), projecting a floating miniature battlefield directly into your physical living space.
Tabletop Mixed-Reality Battles with 50+ Mythical Characters
Set in the legendary age of the Great Flood, The Great Flood blends accessible auto-battler clashes with real-time tactical unit placement and active spellcasting. Using the headset's color passthrough cameras, players can walk around the virtual war table, lean in to inspect skirmishes from any angle, and deploy units onto the field using tracked controllers.
- 10-Unit Custom Squads: Before entering combat, players assemble a 10-slot deck consisting of two powerful heroes and eight soldiers, structures, or spells selected from a roster of more than 50 unlockable mythical beings—ranging from humanoid monsters and ancient divine beasts to towering deities.
- Real-Time Counter Tactics: Once deployed, troops advance and clash automatically toward the enemy main tower, but victory hinges on rock-paper-scissors counter-picking—such as swarming heavy tower-smashers with minor infantry or positioning ranged archers to intercept flying creatures.
- Direct Spellcasting & Defenses: Players can hurl area-of-effect (AOE) spells directly onto the tabletop battlefield and place defensive structures mid-match to swing momentum during frantic rounds.
1v1 and 2v2 Multiplayer, Sects, and Barracks Progression
Designed for quick, repeatable sessions, the game supports both solo PvE practice and competitive online multiplayer:
- 1v1 Duels, 2v2 Co-op & Training Camp: Battle real players or AI bots in fast-paced 1v1 and 2v2 matches, or test new troop synergies in the solo Training Mode.
- Barracks & Shop Upgrades: Between matches, head to the Barracks to swap squad lineups, spend battle-earned gold in the Shop, and rank up to unlock new characters and upgrade their combat abilities.
- Sects (Clans) & Seasonal Battle Pass: Players can create or join community clans called Sects to chat, share deck builds, and team up with friends for 2v2 battles, while climbing the ranked ladder for daily rewards and seasonal Battle Pass unlocks.
