Independent studio Smasher Team unveiled a cyberpunk action shooter Smasher with an announcement trailer. Coming to Meta Quest and SteamVR in the second half of October 2025. A free public demo is already live on Steam and SideQuest.
Smasher immerses players into a neon arcade adventure where every gun is single-use and its disposal is a part of gunplay. Experience a shooter with a fun story full of humour, diverse gameplay objectives, and challenging multi-stage boss fights.
Carousel of Guns – Try all the armory in one go. Shoot, throw, pick another one. Destroy enemies with various guns from not-so-boring pistols to void cannons (what the hell even is that?!).
Arsenal of Spells – There is offensive, protective and supportive magic for all possible cases. Fireballs, electricity rays, void shields and flying summoned guns are just a small part of it.
Badass Bosses – The colossal Mother Drone – surrounded by a minion swarm, bristling with rocket launchers, and sporting a giant laser eye – is waiting for you. And this is just your first boss. Imagine the nightmares waiting down the line!
Immersive Action – Eyes on the alarm as bullets fly. Blast hordes one-handed while hacking with the other. Every arena throws fresh twists your way – stay ready.
Gang Hordes – Splatter waves of bandits, corpos, droids, warlocks, and every other low-life across the walls. Don’t let their coordinated strikes, busted abilities, or sheer numbers overwhelm you.
Fun Adventure – Leap into an on-rails cyber-magic shooter. A chatty sidekick stuck in a drone shell, corporate sorcerers, and nonstop insanity await – go raise havoc in this mad world!
