Under a Desert Sun Reviews

I love the theme of this game - give me some classic swashbuckling action any day! In its current state, it's a bit rough. You can explore a map and walk into areas that certainly aren't meant to be accessed - and you see the gray void that is the end of the level. The airplane flying, for me, was a terrible bright white mess. These bugs aside, the developer is super active, and the game shows promise. The core shooting mechanics feel good. The graphics and sound effects are nice. The starting room especially looks gorgeous. I look forward to seeing where this game goes! Thumbs: UP!

Decent little wave shooter with lots of promise! Dev is very active, pushing updates all the time. Also very active in his discord and very devoted to his game. I got this one on sale but would have gladly paid full price for what's available. Guns feel nice and have manual reloading. Can't wait for the upcoming single player campaign!

After just 30 minutes of gameplay, I can already say I enjoy this game very much! The guns feel great, the melee weapons are awesome, and the flight is everything I could wish for in a VR game. I highly recommend this game!

i bought this for 89 cents and with a few minutes of play time i love it, its evry fun and updated! i do wish it was multiplayer for you and your friends but overall very fun. i would get this if i was you ONLY if its on sale, if it wasnt on sale i would hold off.

[b]Updated Review[/b] Hey everyone! I have changed my mind once the developer has released the update Altha 0.595 and it gets some improvements that make the game playable in my opinion. Now I really recommend this game because it is a really decent playable and budget VR game and hopefully a great game in the future. So, if you support it now you may get a VR gem for a cheap price. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Old Review[/b] Hi everyone! I'm here just to give some feedback to the developer. I'm going to give up because the game is unplayable for me at this point. Sometimes I try to release the magazine and then the gun dropped, I don't know why and this happens a lot and I'm sure I don't press the side button. When I drop any gun I can't catch it back from the floor, because of the track I can not reach it. It just doesn't work well as in other games. I won't ask for the refund because the game is a cheap early access and it is a way I can support you to keep working on it once you are really responsive to community feedback. (guys, have a look at community hub) I'll be back around 6 months or a year and see if it works better than now after few updates. I hope to be able to change my recommendation until then.

Edit 2. Dev has done good job with index controls. ______________ Edit. I changed this review to positive. Dev seems to be interested to make this game a working one. _____________ Worked pretty nice with Og Htc Vive. With Index, Controls are mess. With Htc Vive it was pretty decent fun for the price. Over all game seems interesting and fun but right now I can't recommend this product if you are using Index. ( I know it's early access. ) I'm going to keep eye out for updates!

Game looks great, and some things work well... but its still an alpha version, its clunky and unpolished, and needs a lot of work. The game isnt on a release state, so expect a bit of frustration on how it works right now. (consider the date of the review) Buying it now, at this "ridiculous low price" is more like support at this stage of development than anything else. It caught my attention because it recently got an update, so, hopefully it will keep moving forward. I recommend it because id love to fight mummies and fly airplanes, i mean prime Brendan Fraser simulator? count me in! (but it does need a ton of all around polish and fine tuning).

Game has potential but is not quite there yet in terms of content. Though will definitely recommend it when the singleplayer map has been released. Edit as of 29/3/2025: After 5 years, the promised singleplayer mode is now canceled. For that reason, I honestly cannot recommend it.

Vive Pro Looks like the big vision for this game is a single player campaign, but in early access it's just swarm levels. Nothing wrong with that. [Pros] Graphics are great. It's Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark or The Mummy VR (no levels yet) It has both firearms and melee [Cons] It's not very intuitive. From level selection to even the options menu, it will take a bit to adjust. There's some collision issues with the level cubes too that I found really annoying. I bought this a while back but I couldn't even get past level selection because of this. Not sure if the developers have Vive controllers. It was ok, but felt unpolished. Of course this is Early Access so it's ok. [Conclusion] I hope they do a better job of marketing. I did enjoy their Reddit posts back then but I'm not surprised that they're not posting as much any more given how toxic the virtual reality sub-reddits are. Hopefully, they can find another outlet to tell people about the progression of this game.

[h1] I played this on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers and it mostly played fine [/h1] Another wave shooter, but I got this game on sale for .59 cents USD. I think this game is worth at least that much, but not much more. It could potentially be a great game, but it's very rough around the edges currently playwise. If the issues are every fixed, it could be a very fun game to play. There are locomotion options. The default is moving by joystick or touchpad, you can also teleport. There's three different maps (although 2 of them look very similar). You can move around the map and waves of enemies will come towards you. Each wave brings more enemies. You can select weapons from the main menu. There's actually a decent variety of weapons. None of them feel polished though. I don't think I would recommend this game at $2.99 until issues are fixed. But this is an easy recommendation at .59 cents if you are interested in another wave shooter, where at least you can move around the map and try different guns. Just realize, there's a reason why the game is priced so low. It needs polishing. Sale Price Rating 6/10 ... low expectations were met
