What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players are divided on this VR wave shooter. Supporters praise its impressive visuals, realistic weapon mechanics with detailed reloading sequences, and commend it as a solo developer achievement, with some finding it engaging despite its simple premise. Critics find the gameplay dated and repetitive, citing poor locomotion implementation, overly aggressive enemy difficulty even on easy mode, unintuitive control mechanics, technical crashes, and overall lack of depth that makes it feel stale after brief play sessions.

[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]4 found this helpful
Deadly Cryptids is the kind of VR shooter that I found much more physical than I expected. I am dropped into a mysterious ruin after a plane crash and have to survive waves of strange creatures while actually moving my body to take cover. I liked that the game makes me duck, lean, hide and even get down low instead of letting me stand still and casually shoot everything. The cover system is easily my favorite part of the gameplay. I have to use the environment properly because enemies can put me under heavy fire, and simply staying exposed is a quick way to get overwhelmed. I enjoyed the feeling of physically reacting to attacks because it makes every encounter much more intense. The slow motion feature is also a fun addition when I want to turn the tables and clear out a dangerous group. The weapon handling gives the combat some extra personality too. I can use pistols, rifles, shotguns, grenades and heavier weapons, with manual reloading available for a more involved experience. I liked having to actually perform the reload actions instead of treating them like a single button press. It makes the shooting feel more like an arcade simulation while still keeping everything access…
Shooty shoot
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…
