King Pong Debuts on Steam, Offering Immersive Virtual Reality Ping Pong Experience
Iconik Studios unveiled their latest creation, King Pong, on the Steam platform on February 18, 2021. This virtual reality ping pong game promises an entertaining twist on the classic sport, set in a vibrant, neon environment reminiscent of the 80s.
King Pong's web description pitches it as an immersive and futuristic experience taking players on a Ping Pong adventure. Unlike traditional table tennis, King Pong players are armed with special moves and the assurance that the ball will never leave the table.
The simplicity of the game mechanics is contrasted with the complexity of the AI-controlled opponents, offering a range of levels for progressive improvement. Players can either challenge the AI or take on opponents globally, even joining in tournaments against the cream of the rankings.
Crossplay compatibility, allowing players to team up with friends on different platforms, is set to be rolled out soon. Once released, King Pong will also be accessible on the Oculus Rift Store and PSVR, apart from Steam. The game's early access version is already available on Steam.
In addition to King Pong, other VR ping pong games often feature immersive, realistic gameplay, while competitions and crossplay functions are common. However, specifics about King Pong tournaments and crossplay availability are yet to be announced.
As for other related games, Ping Pong Fury offers competitive table tennis battles, focusing on real-time multiplayer and leaderboards. Another example is a non-VR table tennis game that employs sensors and LED lights to enhance the playing experience. Lastly, VR Table Tennis Training Drills have been discussed at the ITTF E-Sports Summit, emphasizing the growing interest in VR training for table tennis.
King Pong combines these elements, aiming to deliver an entertaining and challenging virtual reality ping pong experience to both novices and seasoned players.
In King Pong, players engage with futuristic technology as they embark on an immersive Ping Pong adventure, showcasing the blend of traditional sports with modern gadgets. The game's AI-controlled opponents and special moves offer a unique twist on the classic table tennis gameplay, setting itself apart from other VR ping pong games.
