HeadCount Reviews

Headcount gameplay - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb2z-3wcgNo Good game, although needs more fun elements to be added. I like the on the rails approach and the ability to move around to dodge bullets while being automatically directed to your next path is really good.

This is an awesome game! I just hope the developers keep adding content, Only 3 levels thus far, They are all fantastic. I love this rail type shooter that allows you to move. Brilliant concept by this developer!

This game has a neat artstyle and on its own has good gameplay with fun shooting mechanics but personally I think there really isnt enough content to justify paying $5 for it. There are only 3 levels for you to play and there isn't much incentive to play though them again.

~I have since run it again, on my Oculus 3, Seemed to be broken before, I don't think it was the headset but the dev's took note of my gripes and it's really great now and I can now recommend it overwhelmingly. Thank you devs for fixing it, it is quite an enjoyable and great looking rail shooter.

played for 5 mins, game keeps flying me into a void within 30secs of first starting the level, keeps happening no matter what lvl i pick I've kept trying to come back to the game, no matter what after around 5 minutes my character just starts either flying upwards or downwards infinitely

Actually awful. It feels like one of the first VR games to ever come to PC but it is in fact, made in 2022. If this was free, I'd be fine, but it isn't. Setup alone is vomit inducing.

Was a mediocre on-rails shooter until I got to a bit where the dev made the ambient colour palate the same as the bullets you are trying to dodge. Thus Invisible. Doh!

Above average onrails shooter, its easy to get into, to understand the mechanics and to use weapons. Performance is excellent on a 1080, the poly graphics help a ton, but that doesnt take away from the experience, the enemies have nice animations when hit, not that its incredible, but its way better to those other games where enemies are immune to damage until death. Gameplay is easy, reloading is done automatically by lowering your weapons, you have infinite ammo for your secondary weapon (pistols or smgs as you upgrade) and limited magazines for your primary rifle, more ammo can be found during levels as well as different weapons like shotgun, heavy mg, sniper(no scope just the heavy punch), that will help a lot but also have limited ammo. Game has a small store where you can buy primary and secondary weapons, a bit underwelming to be honest. At the time of this review the game is missing at least 2 levels (there are placeholders), only 5 levels available right now. Took me just under an hour to finish them all, with a few restarts and retries on different difficulties. So for the current price id say its barely fair. A couple of levels are definitively unfinished, as they are quite large levels that have a ton of "missed opportunities" like a bunch of buildings and stairways could have cool encounters, but you just go through them with nothing happening... some levels (specially the last 2) could be easily double or triple the length with a bunch more enemy spawns. Then i went to the forums and discord, and it seems they are working on a Campaign and knowing this makes me really excited for future possibilities. (powerups maybe?) Also the levels that are complete really do pose a challenge on the harder difficulties. Im recommending it because its a fun game that works fine, its clear its still under development, but whats in there already is worth the current price.

'HeadCount' is a pretty average on-rails shooter in which you play the role of a military soldier taking down all manner of Arab bad-guys. Sure, this isn't going to win any game of the year awards nor will it blow you away with its low-poly graphics. But for just £3.99 you get some good gameplay here. I like the way it moves, I like the arcade-style shooting that goes on and I like that it is a one-button reload. Sometimes all you want is a fun little shooter and that is what this game is with just enough content and options to justify its own price tag. I give it the thumbs up and look forward to seeing what this developer can bring to the table next.
