Pretty impressive! This is like Doom or Serious Sam with rogue-like elements, many perks and weapons to unlock and upgrade. It's very gory, with hoards of monsters and some environmental hazards. The main objective on each level is to reach the escape pod within a time limit, while trying to survive and killing as many monsters as possible to increase the reward. Purchase upgrades and go to another level. Sometimes there are secondary objectives, like defeating bosses or killing certain number of enemies. The game looks polished and runs smoothly on Oculus Rift S. It's quite a hidden gem, with a few rough edges, the biggest for me being the awkward turning mechanics. The turning will have to change! to the normal controller stick function, which right now is reserved for the weapon selection wheel so the developer is trying to come up with these weird workarounds.

I'll be honest: if you like what you see in the trailers, you'll like the game. I find myself wanting to play more just for the bizarre enemy designs alone. If Killing Floor and Binding of Isaac had an unholy, crack-addicted baby, this would be that game. Hardcore gorecore. Got it for $1.75 CAD - money well spent.

the real doom vr game you hoped for
this game is amazing reminds me of robotron meets doom but with a pinball esque multiplier system i got up to 134,000 x multiplier lol
gameplay 2 update only solidifies the deal further with chrono mutator points that let you start over but level up base stats like damage,reward,skull boost,diamond and a few others
works great in vr with full locomotion the first iteration gave me sickness but thats all gone now
100% buy for vr or 2d

very fun, i love both the vr and non vr versions. i love that there's so many levels and always something you can upgrade, but it has just the right amount of grindiness to where after a little while its not too easy to upgrade anything. i really like how the levels are on a time limit where the level will self-destruct if you make it out in time. graphics are alright, vr's a bit jank but i love it as my philosophy is "embrace the jank." very disgustingly cool enemy designs and level design is good, decent gore too. if you like vr shooters or just fast paced gory shooters in generl this might be a fun one to try (vr can be a bit confusing tho).

Absolute madness. Some of the worst VR controls coupled with the sickest most heavy metal gameplay. Absolutely worth two dollars. Legitimately very fun to play and intense. The action is nearly nonstop and overwhelming, again, this game feels like a technical death metal album cover.

A sci-fi zombie nightmare. Reminds me a little of Serious Sam with its relentless enemies. The environments are a fluro techno treat as is the sound and music. It’s a simple shooter that is easy to get into with a solid upgrade path to keep things interesting. It reminds me somewhat of the old school Jeff Minter games but in a 3d Shooter. Ancipital but 3d with Zombies… Ancipital?!…Anyone? Anyone? God I’m old.

I had a lot of fun with this. It's weird and bloody, and sometimes funny. It's the best VR trash I've played in a long time. You have unlimited ammo, different weapons, excellent electronic music, and there's no need to think, just shoot a lot of (small) bizarre, creepy, skinless enemies in a strange, cyberpunk-ish/industrial environment with a lot of chrome pipes. Trash though. And turning while playing seated could have been made easier. But still... I love it. :)

I have really had my monies worth out of this game, it cost me £1.69 and so far I have had over 5 hours of gameplay fun out of it. This is a sci-fi horror game that reminds me a bit of the film 'Virus' (The Donald Sutherland one). The game plants you in space with your trusty guns by your side, you shoot your way through the blood thirsty Thanatoids (genetically mutated humans) sector after sector until you can complete 10,000 levels. You can jump to harder sectors if you want to, just make sure you have the right arsenal in order to complete the harder levels. I suppose in a way this game is a wave based arena sector shooter (if such a genre exists). In short, I am really enjoying it but I also think it will sit well with horror enthusiasts and probably not so much with non horror fans.

When i first started playing this game i thought there was not much to it from the level design and over all game play, but wow how wrong i was after about 1 hour into it.And if you are thinking of buying it, then i really hope my review helps you do that.Well first off its a full on fps shooter with RPG upgrade system with money earned from completing sectors in the game.
You can buy skills of many types from health,shields,guns,environmental protection and lots and lots more to even remember as theres so many.Now graphics are far from the best ive seen but not the worst ive seen to, but more than do there job.But it would be nice if there was more graphics options like antilising and fxaa ect ones to, but hope the developer will add more in down the line from requests in the discussions section on steam.Weapon souds are nice and do the job for what it is, and not really anymore to say on that i guess.
What i like is the starting gun has unlimited ammo which is awsome and all guns have a second firing mould in non vr, with the second mouse button.The music in the game is very good and suits the sci fi setting really well, although i do feel sometimes the tracks are coming off someones random playlist as they dont allways fit in right.So going to send the developer somemore ideas for the game and fixes as well.
The game has permadeath which is if you die in a sector you cant replay that again, but you can restart in the sector next on to it, well unless you start a new game.But what ever sector you replay it on it is random generated which adds more level variety.So permanent death means you die and you have to start first level again or any level you want in any order.But iam playing it on permadeath, so it means when i die as from what i mentioned before i fell that level and move on to the next one or which ever one i wish to jump to.But i prefer to play them in order which i found more fun, plus build up my skills and weapons to.As the higher the level the bigger reward, but the harder it is to which the game tells you before you go into that sector.And even on sector 6 and 7 i played there was a crazy amount of enemies to kill which was fun, and with 10,000 sectors its a bit to be going on with.So you can imagine what there is to come, compared to even the first couple of thousand sectors. 😊
Each sector to has a time limit to get out the level, but the latest update now allows you to turn them both off.Which i found more fun this way and you feel free to blast away and not panicking you wont make it out in time.Theres a varied
amount of monsters on each level, which on the sceen at the top tells you out of 100% how many you have killed which is nice.
To sum up what sort of game this is, well lets just say Doom, killing floor meets serious same but with slower enemies, meets a fps version of kinda of Robotron which sounds crazy.And with rpg upgrades with money you earn on completed sectors from the fallen enemies.Oh and a touch of Smash TV to from the arcades back in the day, but in a fps sense. But most of all don't be put off by the slow shambling enemies, as the game soon ramps up and you feel its a battle of your life to complete that sector your on.
I know this review is jumbled up which iam sorry guys, but i was writing it 3.00Am in the morning lol, plus sorry for any spelling mistakes as well.
But as i said give it a go as its got stacks of content and gets very addictive after a hour and you just want to upgrade and get further.Plus the more people who buy it, well then the developer can add more and more fetures to a already great game which could turn out awsome.
