Blaston
Blaston is as a crossplay competitive multiplayer VR shooter by Resolution Games. In the slow-motion bullet-hell of Blaston, you duck, dodge, and weave to evade incoming attacks while preparing your dazzling next combos in a flash of skill.
The game is played 1 versus 1 where both players stand on their own podium on opposite ends of a small arena. When the match starts, weapons that they've chosen before the game spawn around the players for them to utilize on their opponents. The matches are played similarly to fighting games where the player with the most health at the end of the round wins.
The game is available on both Oculus and Steam.
Tournaments for Blaston have been grassroots-based but have shown potential in how to organize esports tournaments for a VR game.
