Microids is entering the VR market, with The Smurfs – Flower Defense. It’s expected to release this spring, for Meta Quest 3.
Described as being a tower defense game, where the Smurf’s’ fate is “literally in your hands,” Flower Defense combines action, strategy and storytelling.
“The fairy Leaf is preparing to celebrate the magic of Nature along with the whole Smurf Village. But little do they know that Gargamel will show up to spoil the party once again! Using a magic spell, he gets his hands on 20 Smurfs and chases the rest away from the village! Now more powerful than ever, Gargamel forces the Smurfs to flee, while the weakened Leaf returns to her flower state.
After being dropped into their magical world, it is up to you to save the Smurfs, protect the Nature Fairy and stop Gargamel!”
It promises:
- An immersive tower defense experience in Mixed Reality: Defend the Smurfs by building defensive towers and activating mechanisms in your own environment.
- Live action and strategy: Fight alongside the Smurfs by picking them up with your “virtual hands” and putting them in the right place at the right time, all while managing your strategy.
Switch between Smurfette, Storm, Brainy and Jokey, and use their powers smartly to prevail. - 20 Smurfs to free: Explore iconic landmarks in the world of the Smurfs and take on gripping challenges.
- 3 epic bosses: Face Gargamel, Azrael and the Howlibird in spectacular battles.
- A Hard mode for seasoned players who want to measure themselves against increasingly difficult challenges.
Expect to be able to play this one in May.
