Sublevel Zero: 6-DOF procedural roguelike VR gameplay with HOTAS and HTC Vive
26VR gameplay from Sublevel Zero, a 6DOF roguelike game with procedurally generated levels and progression.
Sublevel Zero is a $14.99 PC game that supports VR on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The game is a first person six degrees of freedom (6DOF) roguelike shooter where you maneuver a ship through a facility, destroying reactors on your way to the core. You have one life, and when you die you have to start over and the levels are all re-generated with procedural generation. As you progress through the game, new more difficult enemies and hazards are introduced, but you can also progress through item upgrades, crafting, and an upgrade system called Nanocerts.
There is also an updated version of Sublevel Zero called Sublevel Zero Redux for XBox and PS4 consoles, but it does not currently support PSVR.
If this video I am using a Saitek x52 Pro HOTAS to control my ship, but you can also use a gamepad or mouse and keyboard. My HOTAS is mounted to an office chair using pole clamp mounts. If you are interested in an easy and cheap way to set up your chair like mine, check out this video I made:

Official game description of Sublevel Zero on Steam:
"Sublevel Zero is a first-person roguelike six-degree-of-freedom shooter set in a universe where reality is falling apart. Take control of a lone gunship pilot whose mission is to loot and craft ancient technology. Descend into a vast underground facility, fighting through procedurally generated zero gravity environments to recover the technology you and your clan need to survive.
6-DOF ACTION
Your gunship is free to fly and rotate in all directions. You can attack from any angle, and so can your enemies. Inspired by classics such as Descent and Forsaken, Sublevel Zero’s retro gravity-defying combat is driven by modern looting and crafting.
PROCEDURAL, PERMADEATH
No lives. No saves. Fight your way through a different procedurally generated environment every time. Make every shot, every decision count. A wide range of environments stand in your way, from industrial zones to mining caverns. Think on your feet and adapt to each one’s hazards before it’s too late.
CRAFTING
Collect a wide range of randomly-generated weapons, upgrades and game-changing items. Craft them together to equip your gunship for your play style. Unlock more items and blueprints as you play and keep those unlocks across playthroughs.
VR-ENABLED
Strap on your Oculus Rift or HTC Vive and experience Sublevel Zero in Virtual Reality with an immersive cockpit view and VR-enabled weaponry. [Currently in Beta]"
