One of the cofounders remarked on how designing Light Brigade for Meta's hardware came with tradeoffs, "‘It’s kind of been a weird timeline where VR went up, and then dipped down when everyone bailed on the high-end for the Quest. A simpler art style was chosen to be less graphically demanding to run on Meta Quest 2. The title was inspired by Dark Souls and its focus on ruined worlds that the player explored. When the player's health dwindles to zero, they have two chances to take back their body before the run ends. Spells can be cast, with different effects like creating a shield in front of the player or dealing poison damage to opponents. At the beginning of each run, the player can choose between six classes, each with different spells and weapons: scout, pistoleer, rifleman, assault, militia, and sniper. Movement in the game is controlled by teleporting, characterized in game as a dash. The player can pray in order to open doors and interact with objects. Using an arsenal of World War II weaponry, the player can take on enemy soldiers in order to make their way through each level. The Light Brigade is a first-person roguelike in which the player inhabits a character with an eternal spirit, allowing them to return after each death. Gameplay The player can see their health and ammo counters to the left of their weapon. The Light Brigade released in early access during February 2023 for PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2 and Microsoft Windows.
