YUKI is an upbeat mix of the bullet-hell and roguelike genres in VR set in a multidimensional anime universe. Enter a kid’s wild imagination and fly by controlling Yuki’s action-figure using your hands. Move your body to dodge bullets and obstacles, while fighting evil forces that want to control the universe, in this challenging game where each defeat is just another step to get closer to victory.
Through its unique VR gameplay, adding twists to the inspirational gameplay of old-school classics like STAR FOX, YUKI challenges the player’s spatial awareness and precise reflexes across multiple levels, each filled to the brim with procedurally placed enemies, obstacles, and bullets. Roguelite elements — such as a persistent progression system that allows the player to improve his skills by equipping several power ups, new abilities and weapons at the beginning and during each run — raise the stakes and makes the player want to come back for more and try new evolving strategies to beat the game. YUKI is launching on PSVR with the intense “Patrol Mode” that has received high acclaim by users and critics, and will soon receive an update with the highly challenging “Endless Mode”.
Highlighted Coverage from Steam and Oculus versions
“YUKI is a nostalgia-soaked bullet hell shooter that is patently difficult and essentially requires a fair bit of grinding to get to the end boss. Fun and useful upgrades are dolled out often enough to keep you coming back for more though. The entire experience is quite fun and cohesive.” 8/10 – RoadtoVR
“Yuki is an engaging and interesting VR mix combining the bullet hell and roguelike genres. It’s a mélange of simple, well-designed elements that come together to form a solid package.” – UploadVR
“The colorful style and fun soundtrack really took me in and I had a great time. I’ve tried other #VR bullet-hell shooters before and this is the best that I’ve played, is very highly polished and is designed extremely well.” – BenPlaysVR
“Working at YUKI was a great adventure. One of the bigger challenges in my opinion was to put all the pieces together so the game would be entertaining for different types of players. To accomplish that we implemented an external qualitative testing process early in development to constantly have fresh feedback and I had to make sure everyone involved in YUKI’s production was always on the same page in every decision. It was only possible thanks to the hard work from our teams and partners, and the support of our amazing community. I hope players have an experience as fun and challenging as mine!” – Rebeca Traldi, Lead Producer at YUKI
ARVORE recently partnered with VR Esports Brasil to record an amazing Mixed Reality trailer at their studio, where you can see how YUKI totally immerses the player in the VR world showing its different mechanics in action:
