The Great Flood launches as a free mixed-reality strategy game on Meta Quest

The Great Flood is now available as a free-to-play mixed-reality strategy game for Meta Quest. Developed by SoulFire Studio and LingVision Games, it places a fantasy battlefield in the player’s surroundings and asks them to command a squad of heroes and soldiers in real-time battles.

Players can fight solo or online in 1v1 and 2v2 matches. Each squad contains ten characters, and the game offers more than 50 units to unlock and upgrade. The mixed-reality presentation gives the battles a tabletop feel, while spells let players intervene directly once their troops are deployed.

A tabletop battlefield brings the action into the room

The game uses mixed reality to place its battlefield in the player’s physical space. Instead of looking at a conventional flat map, players deploy troops onto a tabletop-style arena and watch their units move against an opposing force.

Position and timing are central to each fight. Players can place defensive towers, adjust their squad between battles, and cast spells directly onto the field. That combination puts The Great Flood between a traditional real-time strategy game and a more hands-on VR experience.

Build a squad from more than 50 characters

A team includes ten characters, with two heroes and eight soldiers forming the core of a squad. The available roster spans different unit types, while progression lets players unlock characters and improve their abilities as they earn experience.

Players can change their lineups between battles, giving them a chance to respond to new opponents or test different combinations. The game’s ranked matches also provide experience and rewards, tying the competitive modes to a longer progression loop.

Solo and multiplayer modes share the same tactics

The Great Flood includes solo play and online battles. Players can compete in 1v1 matches or team up for 2v2, where coordination and compatible squads become part of the strategy. Bots are also available to help reduce matchmaking waits.

A training camp gives players space to learn the basics and earn rewards before taking their teams into competitive matches. That onboarding is useful for a game that asks players to understand unit placement, timing, and spell use at once, especially if they are new to strategy games in mixed reality.

Sects add a community and coordination layer

Players can create or join a Sect, the game’s community groups for chatting and sharing tactics. Members can swap cards and decks, invite friends, and coordinate before entering 2v2 battles together.

That social layer gives the game a reason to build a squad around more than individual preferences. In team matches, players can discuss how their units complement each other and how to respond when an opponent changes strategy.

Free-to-play does not mean every reward is included

The game is free to download and play, but its progression includes unlocks and upgrades. Before launch, the developers also described seasonal Battle Passes with both free and paid reward tracks, so players should expect optional monetized content alongside the free experience.

That model makes that players would want to see how quickly the roster opens up and whether paid rewards remain cosmetic or affect progression. The game’s core attraction is clear, however. It offers a free entry point to a mixed-reality strategy format built around squad customization and short competitive battles.
