Skyworld combines classic turn-based strategy gameplay, deck building and fast-paced real-time battles in a unique strategy blend fully reimagined for VR.

As the sole heir to the throne, you alone can restore your father’s dragon empire to its former glory. Armed with the king’s scepter, powered by the most powerful magic in the world, and with the knowledge of the magic book of spells at your fingertips, it is up to you to recapture and reunite the Skyworlds; shards of the world broken off by a coven of evil witches. The quest to redeem your father’s legacy begins… Can you tame dragons?

Armed with the world’s most powerful magic tools, you must build and lead an army strong enough to tame powerful dragons and bring back together your father’s empire.

In Skyworld, players manage their economy, build and lead royal armies, and have to master powerful dragons to restore their father's empire to its former glory. Armed with the king's scepter, powered by the most powerful magic in the world, and with the knowledge of the magic book of spells at their fingertips, it is up to them to tame the mighty dragons and bring back all Skyworlds from the hands of evil.

Skyworld brings back the basic, fun gameplay of beloved TBS classics with bite-sized matches, but in a groundbreaking room-space VR experience, developed from the ground up to take full advantage of HTC and Valve's revolutionary Full Room Scale 360 Degree Solution with Tracked Controllers on HTC Vive.


Chet Faliszek of Valve commented, "Steam has always been a platform for empowering developers and we plan to continue that direction with Steam VR. Vertigo Games is making an amazing VR game with Skyworld and has been a tremendous partner in helping us understand how we can best support the Dev community."

"Developing Skyworld in such close cooperation with Valve's Steam VR team has simply been amazing. We are thankful for the support and trust they have shown our studio over the past couple of months, and believe this has given us a crucial edge to develop the best experience possible for this amazing VR technology," said Richard Stitselaar of Vertigo Games.

Key Features:

  • Room-space VR. Step into a virtual world where you are king and walk around your battle map as if you were there, with the use of the revolutionary room-space VR technology – or stay seated for a more relaxed experience with your VR headset of choice. Skyworld is a TBSVR game that was exclusively built and optimized for VR from the ground up.
  • DRAGONS! With a wave of your scepter and the magic book of spells’ knowledge at your fingertips, you are the one and only true heir to the throne who can tame the mighty dragons. Now they will do your bidding and wreak havoc on your enemy’s forces and territory.
  • Classic TBS gameplay. Get back to the basics of turn-based strategy gaming and enjoy the gameplay from all-time classics one more time in an all-new quest to become the ultimate ruler. Manage your economy, build and lead your armies, attack and siege the enemy, build and upgrade your castles, and MASTER DRAGONS.
  • Bite-sized gaming. No need to invest 20 hours in a match if you don’t want to – Skyworld brings back the beloved simple gameplay of TBS classics in bite-sized chunks, offering you short and sweet gaming sessions in the immersive VR world.
