Hopalong: The Badlands

About

Hopalong: The Badlands is a western-themed shooter that turns VR into a chaotic playground. You spend most of the game riding a stick horse while firing at goofy enemies in cartoonish landscapes. The Dynamite Gang and their pig-riding leader Boss Boomity provide the main opposition, with each encounter mixing gunplay and slapstick. Combat is fast and forgiving, letting you focus on absurd moments like dodging explosives or tipping over foes with your steed. The game’s charm comes from its over-the-top humor and lighthearted approach to virtual reality. While it lacks depth, its silly boss fights and loose controls have earned it a cult following. Early VR players praised its creativity, and it remains a short but memorable experience for those looking to laugh as much as shoot. With a runtime around three hours, it’s a quick ride that leans into its zany identity without pretension.
