About Dixotomia
Dixotomia is a VR shooter RPG set in a grim sci-fi world where a SpecOps contractor battles vampires while resisting a deadly infection. Developed by DeepMatrix, it launched on January 22, 2026, for SteamVR and Meta Quest 2. The game blends first-person shooting with survival elements, as players navigate a dystopian setting filled with hostile factions and psychological tension. Its single-player campaign focuses on a protagonist caught between duty and self-preservation. The genre mix of action, roleplay, and exploration makes it a niche pick for fans of tense, story-driven VR experiences.
Gameplay
In Dixotomia, players use VR controls to aim, reload, and interact with environments, emphasizing physical movement for shooting and scavenging. Missions involve clearing vampire-infested zones, solving environmental puzzles, and managing a sanity meter that degrades with exposure to enemies. Combat is fast-paced but punishing, requiring precise headshots and ammo conservation. The story unfolds through dialogue and environmental storytelling, with choices affecting the protagonist’s infection progression. Sessions often alternate between intense firefights and stealthy takedowns, punctuated by tense exploration of decaying urban and lab settings.

Completion rates drop sharply after the 10-hour mark, suggesting a steep difficulty curve. Reviews highlight its atmospheric strengths but critique inconsistent pacing and unclear objectives.
PlayPile's Take
Dixotomia rewards VR enthusiasts who enjoy challenging shooters with survival RPG elements. Its 40 achievements and 1320 points offer solid replay value, though the punishing sanity system may frustrate casual players. At $59.99, it’s a mid-tier buy for those seeking tense, engaging gameplay. While not perfect, its pacing and clarity issues are real, it’s a standout for fans of dystopian stories and VR combat. Stick with it past the 10-hour wall, and the payoff is worth the struggle.
