What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Ashes of the Ark is a free to play VR shooter game. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Lost ammo clip into floor. Has some instructions in the lobby with a gun range. Looks buggy. This was a paid product at one time, then went free to play. Clumsy gun handling and has gun flash / exhaust blinding the user making long range shots. Could not figure out how to open the first door in the first level, and there was some zombies behind that door. Try it, if you like zombie shooters but there are better shooter games out there.2 found this helpful

Super janky, even for an old school VR game. Basically the only positive thing I can say about is that it's still functional. The control scheme is weird af on modern VR systems like Quest 3, but you can still play it. That's more than can be said for some games. Beyond that though, there's really nothing redeeming about it. The gameplay is bad, the graphics are terrible, the horror elements are weak, the story is weak, and the "puzzles" really don't even qualify as such. There's really no reason to play this game. It's free but it's still not worth your time. If you want a better free VR zombie game, try Propagation VR. That's a very solid game.
I blewed up 3/5
Игра Ashes of the Ark — это шедевр survival-horror. Гнетущая атмосфера постапокалиптического мира, запутанный сюжет с неожиданными поворотами и напряжённый стелс заставляют сердце биться чаще. Идеальный баланс между выживанием и ужасом. Обязательна к прохождению.
[h1]Before I played Ashes of the Ark, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
