Hoplite Research LLC today announced that in association with Steel Wool Studios, the package release of Quar: Infernal Machines for the PlayStationVR is available now at GameStop, Target or on Playstation Network. Ask for it by name!
Quar: Infernal Machines is the first-ever turn-based-strategy game available for the PlayStationVR, set in the grimmsical world of Alwyd, based on the award-winning tabletop game system This Quar's War by Zombiesmith.
Designed for play with either VR or with a controller, Quar: Infernal Machines dares to bring its turn-based gameplay to a field dominated by real-time experiences. "VR is much more than simply a first person experience dodging or jumping, it is an immersive role exchange," states Manny Granillo, VR/AR Lab Chief Designer.
We see VR as a character shift in which the user imitates himself in an environment which we prepare. By creating a virtual game table, the immersed user can experience playing on a virtually created game table with amazing terrain and some gorgeous miniatures which will come to life as the user takes his turns.
Play through more than a dozen missions with a god's eye view, or go down onto the battlefield to be immersed in the action only VR can provide. Can you lead your Quar to victory?
Command cavalry to sweep the enemy's flanks. Send Baeliog armored tractors forward to shatter hardened defenses. Your rhyflers are armed with weapons ranging from the humble Bogen rifle to heavy-automatic shotguns. Rely on your stalwart officers to keep up your troop's morale, and to call in deadly airstrikes. But above all, preserve the honor of your cause!
Quar contains a living, breathing, upgradeable base, fully populated with Quar troops going about their business! Upgrade your mechanics bay for better tractors. Upgrade the mess hall (and its chow!) for better morale, and get that hanger built so you can call in airstrikes!
Mr. Granillo goes on to say that Quar: Infernal Machines redefines virtual tabletop gaming by bringing traditional H.G. Wells "Toy Soldier" experiences to a new generation, and bridges the gap between technology and strategy. Whether you have VR or not, the age of interactive toys is here, and games like Quar: Infernal Machines give you the tools to jump right in! Building for Virtual Interaction requires bold design and the courage to go beyond comfort zones.

Back Story of the Game:
It seems the Quar have always been at war. When the first wandering clans of insect gatherers built their low, mud-walled buildings, it was as much to keep out other Quar as the wild animals. As they first learned to make tools to get food, they quickly learned to make tools to defend themselves. The mud walls quickly became fortified citadels, and then city-states. In 5,000 years of civilization, the constants of their culture have been the changing of the seasons and the threat of war.
For the last 700 years, the Quar have been waging The Long War to a bloody stalemate that has wracked their world. But the balance of power is shifting, and Alykinder's Crusade is attempting to end The Long War by conquering all the Quar nations. This game takes you to one battle in one theater of The Long War, between the Crusader army and the Royalist Coftyran Crymuster.
Quar: Infernal Machines dares you to take command and create a legend! Available now on Playstation network for PS4.
