Experience ‘Grit and Valor – 1949’: Real-Time Roguelite Tactics Coming to All Major VR Headsets Next Month

Oh great, another update in the never-ending saga of “games getting VR support.” So, here’s the scoop—or maybe it’s more of a meandering tale about “Grit and Valor – 1949” and its VR future, which feels like nostalgia and sci-fi decided to have a weird little dance party. (No idea why, but that’s where my brain went.)

This game? Yeah, it dropped on PC a bit ago and it’s got this whole vibe of commanding teeny mechs, which is kinda adorable until you remember you’re supposed to be liberating Europe. Picture this: tiny robots going toe-to-toe with the “Evil Axis.” Sounds intense, but honestly, it’s a little cute too. Like robotic David and Goliath but… with more parts to upgrade. If you’re into picking and choosing mech bits, you’re in for a treat—new cockpits, engines, you name it.

Annnnyway, Milky Tea Studios—never got the name, maybe it’s a British thing?—decided teaming up with XR specialists nDreams was a smart move for the VR leap. So now, you can literally dive into the battlefield. Like, hands-on and all that jazz. Does it make you feel like a god? Maybe. Or maybe it’s more like playing with action figures, but who cares really?

Circle the date—August 21st. That’s when you can snag this experience from the Horizon Store if you’re rocking a Quest 2 or newer. PlayStation fans? You’re covered too, if you’ve got a PS5 and PSVR 2. And if you prefer to keep it PC, the Steam update’s free. Free’s good, right? Feels like a steal—unless you’re one of those conspiracy folks thinking there’s a catch.

I guess that’s about it. Or is it? I always forget something, but we’ll chalk it up to my charm.
