Dick Wilde is a VR shooter that takes place in a swamp and doesn't take itself too seriously. Released less than a week ago by Bolverk Games on Steam, the title has already received its first patch. It currently retails for $19.99 USD and is compatible with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

The game sees you as the titular 'Dick Wilde' trying to defend his swamp from water pests. With his arsenal of homemade blasters (including converted water guns, harpoons, and a bow and arrow) he's ready to take on sharks, piranhas and gators. Of course, at the end of the game's 9 stages are larger and more mutated challenges waiting.

Dick will also get caught up with:

  • 9 unique levels - Progress though 9 unique levels in 3 different settings: swamp, tropical and northern!
  • Big variety of enemies - Giant alligators, rabid piranhas, electric eel, charging sharks, bats and many more! Have a hoedown by sharing the headset amongs friends and compete for the highscore! Who'll be the biggest hillbilly this year?
  • Epic boss fights - DEFEAT GIANT BOSS MONSTERS AT THE END OF EACH LEVEL! Can Dick really take on a three-story high turtle with a homemade Bow? Can you?
  • Spectator screen - Local multiplayer VR has never been so much fun. Spectators have all the information they could need. It even comes with a complete pinball display!
  • **DISCLAIMER** - Bolverk games does not support animal cruelty in any way, nor do we endorse heavy substance abuse, weapon crafting or having a messy home in a swamp.
