82VR gameplay from the Overload demo, a 6DOF combat game made by the team behind the original Descent games.

Overload is a game designed to be a modern throwback to Descent and Descent II. You fly an armed drone around an enclosed facility using 6 degrees of freedom. Blast your way through enemies, pick up powerups, and try to destroy the facility's reactor. Many of the team members working on Overload also worked on the classic Descent games. The full Overload release will support virtual reality on the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and other PC HMDs, but the initial release of the Overload playable teaser only supports the Oculus Rift.
The VR gameplay in this video is from the Overload Playable Teaser 2.0. Overload is still in development and this gameplay is not representative of the final game.
Official game description of the Overload Playable Teaser 2.0 on Steam:
"Overload is a new six-degree-of-freedom shooter from the creators of Descent, currently under development. This Playable Teaser is an alpha-level demo of the game. Originally released during our Kickstarter campaign in March 2016, Version 2.0 is a complete overhaul and shows the game as it stands in March 2017.
Overload is an intense combat game that takes place in a full-3D world. The full game will feature:
- Single-player story campaign with 15+ FULL-SIZE atmospheric levels
- Upgradeable player ship and 12+ weapons with multiple upgrade options
- More than a dozen unique robots with multiple variants, and 3 massive bosses
- Story by the writer of FREESPACE 2, plus pulse-pounding soundtrack
- Includes Multiplayer Expansion (6-8 months after release)
- Greatly expanded Challenge Mode with lots of levels and online leaderboards
- Easy-to-use custom Level Editor (post-release) so you can build and share levels
This demo contains a training level, a sample single-player "destroy the reactor" level, and two Challenge Mode levels that let you test your skills against a horde of enemies.
Overload will be available via Steam Early Access on March 13, 2017. If you like the demo, check out the full version!"
