City Champ will be pre-released as an open beta 🚧 in November 2024 for Meta Quest 2/3/Pro and Magic Leap 2.
Follow our progress at https://twitter.com/CityChampXYZ.
In a mirror world 🌏, ghoulish creatures are popping up all over and wreaking havoc💥. It’s up to you to protect the city and reform our world✌️! Blast ghouls, defend the city core, and collect reforms to win🏆. Scan new play areas with your phone 🤳to unlock achievements, collectibles, and endless locations🗺️.
In City Champ, you choose where to play. For Quest, play in real-world environments that others have scanned or create your own maps by scanning public spaces. For Magic Leap, scan your play area anywhere you go from inside the game.
Challenge yourself and others. Place new spawn points for pickups, enemies, and the city core to make every time you play a new experience.
For the lone defender. Launch a single player session to play your own maps on your own time. It's you vs. the ghouls.
For the competitive. Launch a public or private multiplayer session to play with friends. Up to 4 teams of 4, each with their own city core. Blast friend and foe on your way to victory!
Download the CityChamp v1.5.2 .apk build ⬇️ for Meta Quest and upload it to your headset using SideQuest. We recommend playing on Quest 3 for the best experience ✨.
The game is split into two parts: VR play 🏠 and scanning new maps 🤳🏙️. In VR, explore the game maps that have been created and select the one you want to play. Or, go out and create new maps by scanning public spaces.
Make sure hand tracking and passthrough are enabled in your headset settings⚙️.
