So, here’s a wild ride for you. Small indie studio Yumebau just dropped something on Quest—it’s called BuildPort Xumia. Yeah, the name’s a mouthful, right? It’s still in early access, so things might be a bit bumpy, but hey, space combat! You get to cobble together your own spaceships from scratch. I mean, imagine Legos, but in space. Sort of.
Now, this is no ordinary game. It’s like they threw Kerbal Space Program and a multiplayer shooter into a blender. End result? A spaceship-building bonanza where you’re the architect, engineer, and pilot. Sounds cool? I thought so too. Or maybe I didn’t? Who knows.
Anyway, you can build almost anything you dream up. Drones, mechs, maybe even something straight outta Star Wars. An X-Wing, perhaps? Yeah, I’m totally doing that. Also, there’s this bit where you’ve got to deal with energy management. Balancing power—it’s like they want you to genuinely strategize. Fun, kind of… maybe stressful though?
The game’s building blocks are all modular, so you’ve got endless combos with weapons, thrusters, sensors—honestly, I got lost just thinking about it all. Connecting bits to make things run on their own? Cool, but piloting your custom creation is where the magic happens. Zoom! Or crash, if we’re being real.
On day one, there’s a 1v1 duel arena. You get to flex your build against friends or test stuff solo against AI—which, let’s be honest, is probably less embarrassing when your ship falls apart mid-fight. Oh, here’s a neat bit: you can co-build with buddies in real time. Chaos? Probably. Awesome? Definitely.
And did I mention the Xumi Trials? Didn’t think so. So, these are solo challenges where your design skills get put under the microscope. Sink or swim stuff. The devs promised more goodies later—new modes, avatars, ship parts. I’m here for it. More stuff in my spaceship toolkit? Yes, please.
You can snag BuildPort Xumia in the Horizon Store for Quest 3 and 3S. It’s $6 right now but normally goes for $10. A discount? Take my money already. 🚀
