Okay, so there’s this new game—BuildPort Xumia—just hit the early access scene on Quest. I mean, it’s kinda like if Kerbal Space Program decided it wanted to be a space combat arena showdown. You get to piece together spaceships from absolutely nothing. Basically, if you want to catch some cosmic chaos, this game’s waiting for you on Quest 3 and 3S.
Picture this: You can whip up whatever your brain conjures—drones, mechs, maybe even something that sort of looks like a Star Wars X-Wing. But it’s not just about slapping things together. Your ship needs power, like, all the juice it can drink. So you’re there balancing energy to make sure your craft can zoom around like a ballerina in space.
Anyway—oh, right, the blocks! Everything you build? It’s all modular, so slap those thrusters, weapons, and sensors on. If you’re into programming (I’m meh about it), you can even make your creations do a jig on their own. But the real thrill—hands down—is flying those bad boys yourself.
So, right now, the game lets you have these epic 1v1 duels. Got a friend? Challenge ‘em. Or maybe trash some AI robots if you’re flying solo. You can team up and build ships together, too, like a creative party, I guess.
Oh, almost forgot. There’s this thing called ‘Xumi Trials’. Basically, it’s where you throw your ships into solo challenges to see how they stack up. Apparently, there’s more to come—new modes, avatars, ship bits, sprinkles of that nature.
Want to snag it? Pop over to the Horizon Store. Right now, it’s cheaper—$6 instead of $10. So, maybe get on that if you’re into building stuff and shooting things in space.
