I assume that 40 minute is worth 2 dollars to some people, I just wish the game was polished more as a whole! 7 minute video review: https://youtu.be/vsGPei0jOXs

Excellent graphics with interesting maps. The puzzles/objectives are not difficult but they add a little to the game. The AI is pretty basic but they often make up for it with big numbers. Teleporting around seems like a bit of a cheat since the enemy fireballs approach so slowly. The weapons include hand gun, Automatic rifle, shotgun, gatling gun, rpg and laser gun. You always dual wield and only the same weapon. It would be nice to mix. Overall a fun, great looking shooter at a great price!

This is fun for the price. It is a low quality version of Serious Sam, and allows you to teleport around some very good looking, and sometimes beautiful, environments. The enemies are varied, and the textures are pretty good. There are game bugs, but for almost free, what can you say? Give it a try!

I tried this out on "easy" settings. The controls are not intuitive at all. You teleport to a round area on the ground and then a first wave of about 12 knights is storming towards you from three different angles. If they get close to you, that's it. ("You are lose" as the game says) Lasted about 1 min by teleporting away all the time on my first attempt. Lasted about 5sec without teleporting on my second attempt. There will be no third attempt.

[h1] I can confirm this game works on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. However, you have to do a Windows 7 compatibility fix or you'll get a black screen on your HMD [/h1] [b] *** UPDATE *** [/b] I have encountered an almost game-breaking bug where you can't change difficulty in the game. Another reviewer is stuck on easy mode. I am stuck on normal or hard mode (I can't tell because either way I can't get past any of the levels now after clearing them on easy very easily). Also, whenever I click on end after dying, more times than not the game will crash. Due to the above issues, I am reducing my score to a 5/10. That means buy at your own risk until the bugs are fixed. I still think the game is cheap and fun. But it has game-breaking problems so you should not purchase unless you feel comfortable dealing with them [b] *** END UPDATE *** [/b] So this game costs $1.79 USD currently on release sale. Is this game worth almost $2? Hell yeah! I had an absolute blast playing this game. I played it for over an hour (I know my steam says less than 40 minutes, but it didn't count when I was playing the game testing Windows 7 compatibility). This game is an absolute blast to play, but it does have many issues. First issue, obviously, doesn't work on the Oculus Rift off the gate. Secondly, poor optimization. Maybe it's because of the Windows 7 fix, but this game runs so bad. Various graphical issues. Low frame rates. Sluggish performance. I am on i7, GTX 1060, 16 GB Ram so I obviously don't have a 1080 Ti and maybe this games runs better with a beefy PC. Third issue is pathing issues for enemies and also on teleports. You'll see enemies stuck in a corner. Very rough UI and some very bad AI (at least on Easy difficulty). Bad English translations (normal is misspelled). I think there was also a problem with the energy/laser weapon because it showed as a normal handguns to me (even though it was killing stuff faster and I wasn't having to reload unlike the normal handguns). Also, not sure if this was a bug or not, but I couldn't find the key on the very first level on my first playthrough and then I shot a jug and the key was there. They key was just out in the open for the other levels. However, even despite all the above issues, this game is hella fun. Why is that? It's just a wave teleport shooter afterall. Well, first of all, you can teleport around these grand, majestic levels. The level of detail is amazing. Each level has it's own look. There's all kind of enemies. Yeah, some of them do repeat, but there was so much difference in enemy looks and behavior that I was awestruck this is only a $3 game normal price. The first boss looks totally epic and I was just machine gunning that demon (or she-demon?) into oblivion on easy. I managed to beat the first round of levels on easy without too much an effort. I had lots of fun. You do have to manually reload your dual handguns, but with dual machine guns, you just shoot until you run out of bullets. Then I said, well let me try that on Normal difficulty. I can't even get past the first level. Enemies become so much more aggressive and they do all kinds of things they weren't doing on easy. Wow. NOTE: I am stuck on this difficulty and can't get out of normal difficulty. I already got my $1.79 worth. Now please optimize this game, allow for free locomotion and turning, fix the bugs and you have the best game for under $3. NOTE: I got my money's worth, but if the game doesn't get updated, it's only worth $1.79. Sale Price Rating 5/10. Please patch all the bugs in this game and please support Oculus!
