[Updated] AR shooter Reality Clash has started its Android and iOS rollout
Australia, Denmark, and New Zealand get it first
We've been keeping an eye on Reality Clash for quite a while now, mostly out of vague curiosity over how effective an AR shooter would actually be on mobile. But we don't have to be curious much longer, as the game is finally rolling its way out across the world.
Starting in Australia, Denmark, and New Zealand, the game is now available on Android and iOS, provided you have a device which can use either ARKit on iOS or ARCore on Android. Otherwise it just straight-up wouldn't work, y'know?
Reality Clash is a bit like if Pokemon GO were about shooting people in the face - you'll need to defend real-world locations from enemies by physically looking around through your phone screen and shooting at them from afar, all while not getting shot yourself.
On top of that, you'll need to mine for resources and both build and customise the weapons you choose. For a more detailed explanation, check out the video above, presented by Simon "The Miller Report" Miller, off of that YouTube thingy. He's a good lad, isn't he? Always got a smile on his face, him.
For those worried about shooting other folks in the real world, here's something that may alleviate your concerns - the actual combat of the game takes place in an in-game "VR" arena, and you'll be facing off against bots as well as humans from time to time. So don't worry, it's not really like shooting random strangers in the real-world.
Reality Clash certainly looks like it might well be a decent game - when we'll find out for sure is another matter, since we don't have a solid worldwide release date. If you're in Australia, Denmark, or New Zealand however, you can grab it for free right now on iOS and Android.
