What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the colorful synthwave neon aesthetic and the wave survival gameplay when it functions properly, with some enjoying the slow-motion dodge mechanic. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues across multiple VR platforms including broken controls (inverted gun holds, non-functional reload mechanics), poor AI that avoids players predictably, inconsistent aiming systems, and a story mode that either doesn't progress or confines players to early areas—combined with weak audio design and a condescending tutorial narrator, these problems make the overall experience fr
Watch my video here https://youtu.be/MY_QT2d7xFI Graphics are OK nothing amazing. Colourful and some decent particle physics. Guns look good. Audio isn't the best. The robot tutorial narrator sounds like a younger brother putting on a robot voice while hating on everything you do. The guns sounds are lacking and could do with beefing up. Directional audio is just not great. At time I'm not sure where I'm getting shot from. Gameplay is fun as a wave survival shooter can get. It looks easy, but it does get hard and more fun. There are weapon buys through the survival mode to grab and health. At the moment survival mode is the only mode with story coming later on. I'm not sure have to work out of much health I had in game. It might of been there, but I couldn't find it. Shot the robot in the face and the drones in their jetpacks. The pistol guns over heats, this isn't fun and a little frustrating. I guess this was added to make the game a little more challenging. The game is very cheap and in early access so really it isn't as bad as it sound due to the fact it can change and grow. As it stands right now though I can't recommend this game.10 found this helpful
Good graphics, I like this synthwave neon style. Decent effects and a cool slow motion bullet dodge feature reminding me of Pistol Whip and Super Hot. One review says that you can't leave the first room which is incorrect. It's kinda time gated and then you have to press a button on a keyboard a few times, put on a helmet and press another button. Everything is indicated and there is for the most part a path telling you where to go. I fully finished the story in maybe 25 minutes. So the bad: - weapon rotation was very weird on Quest 2 which made it hard to hit anything - the AI just misses you when you move sideways all the time - some small graphical issues like incorrect reflections, pixelated glowing lines and bad texture filtering in the main menu (grid plane) I got it during a sale for 0.99 € and that is ok for what it is.6 found this helpful
game is good for the most part but when im holding any of the guns they dont work with me at all like when i hold the AR it gets held upside down and idk how to fix that i am using a quest two so that might be the reason but idk1 found this helpful
Pretty Cheeks game rn but if they showed some button layout and got the aim better then I would say it would be enjoyable, at its current state it's not worth it, but it could be a good game for the price if those things were changed
Story mode doesn't work. There's no way out of the very first room. The rest is a simple sub-par wave shooter.
This game is a complete and total broken mess. Absolutely one of the worst VR games I have ever tried. This is so bad that it really should be removed from Steam. Do not buy this game if you have a Valve Index because the controls are awful. You press the A button to grab a gun floating in the air then once you run out of ammo, that's it your game is over. There is no way to reload a gun with the Valve Index. You can also teleport through any closed door you want with no problem. Every place in this game also looks exactly the same. The whole thing feels like something made in a few days. Pass on this one or you will most assuredly end up regretting it.
