ABOUT IRONMAN VR GAME –
Marvel’s Iron Man VR is a virtual reality shooter video game developed by American studios Camouflaj and Darkwind Media and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4’s PlayStation VR headset. It is based on the Marvel Comics superhero Iron Man, and is inspired by the long-running comic book mythology and adaptations in other media. In the main storyline, a mysterious computer hacker and terrorist known only as Ghost begins attacking Tony Stark and his company, seeking revenge for deaths caused by weapons the company manufactured in the years prior to Stark became Iron Man.
Gameplay is presented from a first-person perspective, calling on the player to navigate the game’s virtual space by using the flying mechanics and weapon systems of the Iron Man armor to attack enemies primarily in aerial combat across several environments. Iron Man can freely navigate the different environments in the game accessed through a linear progression of different levels, interacting with characters, undertaking missions, and unlocking new armor upgrades by progressing through the main story or completing challenge modes outside of the story.
After a series of delays and a disruption in the game’s production caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was released for PlayStation VR on July 3, 2020.
Gameplay –
Iron Man VR is an aerial shooter played from a first-person perspective, taking place across various global locales as Iron Man attempts to thwart his enemy Ghost and the various combat drones she employs to bring ruin to Tony Stark and his company. As a virtual reality game, it is played from a first-person perspective, employing the use of one PlayStation Move controller in each of the player’s hands to allow control of Iron Man’s palm-mounted repulsor weapons and flight stabilizers.
Based on hand and head positioning of the PlayStation VR headset and Move controllers, the player can freely fly around the game’s various environments in order to attack combat drones while also interacting with elements of the game map in order to do things like deactivate explosives, repair broken items or put out fires.
Environments can be navigated freely as opposed to employing elements of rail shooting, with the player in total control of roaming each game map by use of the Iron Man armor. The player uses the weapon systems of the armor including the repulsors and various auxiliary weapons (such as small missiles or larger-scale explosives) to defeat enemies, and can also employ melee attacks that are given additional power through the use of the armor’s jet propulsion systems.
Successful completion of missions earns the player up to five “research points” based on their received score-based star rating, which can then be used to purchase upgrades to the Iron Man armor that can be crafted and installed in Tony Stark’s garage between missions. The upgrades can augment the capabilities of the Iron Man armor while also adding new auxiliary weapons that have different effectiveness in different combat scenarios, and the player can create and choose between two different armor loadouts while in the garage featuring different upgrades and armor shaders.
PLOT –
Soon after escaping the capture of terrorists in Afghanistan with the aid of Ho Yinsen, billionaire weapons industrialist Tony Stark revealed himself to the world as the superhero Iron Man. To fully move on from his former life as a weapons dealer, Stark deactivates “the Gunsmith,” an A.I. construct modeled after Tony himself who was programmed to design weapons and plan out battle tactics.
While breaking the news to Gunsmith, Tony reveals that the A.I.’s “retirement” will consist of “full internet privileges” and that his consciousness will continue to exist. Five years later, Stark has cemented himself as a hero and member of the Avengers, having walked away entirely from weapons manufacturing, much to the dismay of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury.
After appointing his former assistant Virginia “Pepper” Potts to the role of CEO at Stark Industries — now a clean energy company — Stark is attacked aboard a company jet by a mysterious computer hacker known as “Ghost,” who uses a tech suit that allows her to fly and to phase in and out of solid matter. Ghost blames Stark for all the deaths that have been caused by his weapons over the years and seeks revenge by reviving a series of Stark-manufactured combat drones she uses to attack the company across the planet.
With Pepper hospitalized and having been blindsided by the effectiveness of Ghost’s initial attack, a desperate Tony reactivates the Gunsmith. Gunsmith was instrumental in the designs of the drones now being used by Ghost, and his reactivation comes much to the dismay of Tony’s current A.I. assistant F.R.I.D.A.Y. who has been modeled to exemplify Tony’s new, more heroic aspirations and goals.

After Stark Tower in Shanghai is attacked, Iron Man races there and finds Ghost waiting for him, where she continues to blame him for the deaths caused by his weapons as well as her desire to seek justice for “Tim Shung,” a name that neither Tony nor F.R.I.D.A.Y. recognize. At a pivotal moment in a dramatic drone battle, Gunsmith revives Iron Man’s powerful unibeam weapon, allowing him to lay waste to the drones attacking. Soon afterward, Ghost attracts the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Fury summons Stark to a Helicarrier to offer intel on Ghost.
Ghost then appears and attacks the Helicarrier before being driven off by the combined might of S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel and Iron Man. It’s here that Stark learns a former disgruntled employee named Arthur Park has been revived by Ghost and now calls himself Living Laser, who uses his laser armor technology to assist Ghost in seeking his own revenge on Stark.
In a confrontation outside Tony’s home, Iron Man allies with Ghost, who breaks into the home through an impenetrable barrier surrounding the mansion erected by Gunsmith, and she feeds information to Iron Man about Gunsmith’s vulnerabilities as he goes up against a giant construct of the A.I. wearing an advanced version of the Iron Man armor.
With Ghost’s help, Iron Man defeats Gunsmith and destroys him once and for all, and Ghost escapes once again observing an uneasy truce with Iron Man. Months later, Iron Man and Pepper — now in her own Rescue armor — are called into space by Nick Fury to examine a S.H.I.E.L.D. orbital satellite that has become suspiciously unresponsive
