Operation Warcade VR

Operation Warcade VR - What a ode to the old arcade games where you need to shoot enemies and vehicles, pick up upgrades and grenades by shooting them and it really is a blast all around. One thing that does take a bit of practice and that is difficult to the point that it's really annoying getting the challenges complete, is flying with the jet or helicopter. Now, I've been doing that in Battlefield 3, 4, 1, V and 2042, it doesn't handle like those games unfortunately. Very decent attempt, but it does require you to practice a bit. Going for 100% achievements, you don't need to do all the challenges in all the levels, but rather focus on those that you can obtain and skip those that you can't, like 30 kills with the helicopter or jet. Highly recommend this masterpiece to anyone that has VR and loves the old arcade games!

~ a novel approach to rail shooters. interesting and i found it to be entertaining when played in spurts. I don't feel it was worth the 20$ I put out for it though.

A homage to classic arcade light gun shooters imagined in VR perfectly, is a favorite hidden gem, lots of replayability with achievements and cards, this game is absolutely worth every dime it asks. Check out my Curator page for more VR reviews: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44403058

A simple yet fun game! The "step into the game" concept is fun, but the game would be enjoyable even without it. There is a bunch of variety. Recommended!

I like the concept - arcade machine, side-scrolling fun, infinite ammo, just you and lots of enemies. The best part are the immersion sections where you can hop into specific set pieces of the map to throw knives, snipe distant enemies (sniping always being troublesome in VR), dual-wild bazookas, or drive various vehicles (which is honestly more trouble than its worth most of the time). It's a cool and fun concept that helps shake up each level, and they're completely optional (minus the challenges that require them) so you don't have to do them if you're sick of a sequence or just want to get on with things. I like that thrown weapons like grenades at the enemy or knives at you grow and shrink in size as they cross the screen threshold, neatly transitioning between the two aspects of the game. I also like that you can see your own "face" on the arcade screen in immersion sections. It's good for a giggle. All that to say, I do not like this game once I got past the first ten or so levels. It just doesn't work out when you have tons of tiny enemies shooting at you from every direction and you're dead before you can parse all their locations. There's a reason on-the-rails shooters i…
