Meta Quest owners have a new strategy title to try. SoulFire Studio and LingVision Games have released The Great Flood, a mixed-reality real-time strategy game that places tabletop-style battles directly into a player's physical space.
The game is free to play and is available now on the Quest platform, according to a report by COGconnected. It centres on squad building, troop placement and competitive online matches set in a fantasy world.
Tabletop Battles Brought Into the Room
The Great Flood uses mixed reality to project its battlefields into the player's real surroundings, giving the feel of a miniatures game played on a table at home.
That approach reflects a broader push on Meta Quest headsets toward experiences that blend digital content with the physical environment rather than fully replacing it.
Building a Ten-Character Squad
Players assemble a team of 10 characters drawn from a roster of more than 50 that can be unlocked over time. The pool includes heroes, soldiers and magical abilities that can swing a fight.
Choosing the right units is only the starting point. Success also depends on where troops are positioned, the timing of their deployment and when spells are used against the opposing side.
After each match, players can rework their lineup and test different combinations to find what suits their style.
Solo Play, Ranked Matches and Progression
The game supports both single-player and online multiplayer modes, with battles available in 1v1 and 2v2 formats.
Ranked matches award experience points and other rewards, which players can spend on upgrading characters and making their squads stronger over time.
Community Features Through Sects
For players who want a social layer, The Great Flood includes community groups called Sects. Members can chat, swap tactics, share decks and pair up for 2v2 matches.
Newcomers can also use a Training Camp mode, which teaches the core mechanics and offers extra rewards along the way.
What the Launch Signals for Mixed-Reality Gaming
The release adds another free-to-play, competitive title to Meta's mixed-reality catalogue, pairing a familiar genre with progression systems and social tools common in mobile strategy games.
For developers, it shows how established formats like squad-based strategy can be adapted to headsets. For players, the free entry point lowers the barrier to trying mixed-reality play on Quest.
