History

They say when you try virtual reality, it’s like giving someone superpowers, but the team at Red Meat Games took it literally! First Impact: Rise of a Hero was born out of the desire to truly realize the feeling of being a superhero. The ability to lift cars overhead and throw them at your foes, launch fiery bolts from your hand, and fly over a vast landscape was the perfect opportunity to showcase VR and provide a new level of gameplay. Red Meat Games received funding from the Canada Media Fund and has since taken their demo build of First Impact all over North America. After having been to several comic cons such as Niagara Falls Comic Con, Montreal Comic Con, Fan Expo, and London Comic Con the interest in this game has been growing, as has the community behind it. Making its alpha build debut at PAX West 2016, First Impact has shown that it has a lot of promise and will be one of the big contenders in the VR market at launch. So whether you are an HTC Vive user, PC player or a console gamer, this is one game that you don’t want to miss in your library!
