Deadly Cryptids

⠀

[u]Neutral recommendation only![/u] I bought this game when it wasn't free to play. I wasted $1.19 USD. I guess I could have done worse. I'll say one positive thing about the game: it looks nice. It really does, even for 2026 PCVR. It looks miles better than most recent VR releases (sadly). However, at the end of the day, it's just a cover wave shooter. I could play this game. However, I choose to play something better. I can't recommend this game. It's just out-dated now as far as the gameplay. Although it says you can move via smooth locomotion, it's not really true. It's nodal teleportation. No smooth or snap turn. You room-scale move around nearby cover. Enemies just spawn. You shoot them. Until you get bored. Which was after like 10 minutes for me. If you have nothing better to do, sure why not. It's free now. [b]Rate 5/10. I would have rated negative if they were still charging money for this.[/b]

Игра «Deadly Cryptids» — это атмосферный хоррор с элементами исследования и динамичного боя. Прекрасная графика и звуковая сцена погружают в мир мифических существ, но геймплей иногда кажется суховатым: механика боёв проста, а сюжет — шаблонен. Оценка: 7/10.

VR at its finest. It's incredible that this game was created by just one individual. This is the best VR wave shooter, featuring an engaging storyline, realistic gun reloading and aiming. It's a must-have title, especially with those unsettling worms lurking around. I'm thoroughly enjoying this game! The weapons are meticulously designed and provide a genuine feel. Mastering the "realistic reload" demands excellent hand-eye coordination, and perfecting your unique reload sequence is immensely gratifying, particularly with dual-wielding. About the game: - The level of detail is astonishing; it can trick your mind. From the firearms to the enemies and the environment, I once mistook a rock I was hiding behind for reality and ended up smacking my face on the ground! - Shooting and aiming are impressively precise. If you aim accurately, enemies go down much quicker! - There are some truly eerie foes that can send chills down your spine if they sneak up on you. - Without revealing too much, there's a moment near the end of the game that gave me goosebumps and made my heart race like never before in gaming. - The shooting range is a fantastic addition, allowing you to test out the var…

Played on Vive Pro 2 with Index controllers: It seems well enough for a short bit of fun... but it really doesnt... controls (changing magazine) were impossible. grabbing the slider was a chore and i constantly switched hands accidentally, grabbing and letting go of something was extremely counter-intuitive.. you should think that letting go of the grip would let go in game.. but it doesnt... Also the game would crash a lot too.

I really did not enjoy my time spent with this game at all. It's just another wave shooter of course, but it does something incredibly wrong that I feel will discourage some casual VR gamers. And that is it overwhelms the player with an excessive number of worms that move way too aggressively and reach the player way too fast even on the supposed easiest difficulty. This is a common mistake that I see many VR developers make is that easy mode is not truly easy. The worms in this game are almost instantly all over you to the point that you are mostly shooting down around you until the level ends in failure, which shouldn't happen so easily and so fast on the easiest difficulty. Another thing I did not enjoy was an overuse of a heartbeat sound, which pounds and pounds in your ears until you go through the procedure of finding a needle and injecting yourself. This heartbeat sound also played endlessly the first time I started the game and got a fatal crash error. The bland desert setting also gets old fast and never changes. The female character also does not have any voice acting so you have to read the text. And she has painted on eyes that never move, which is kinda creepy combin…
