SLASH OF BULLET

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/OlCgQImz5Eg Very close call for me on whether to at least give this a neutral recommendation, but honestly, it just isn't good enough especially at the listed price of $10 USD. I think this game wants to be a Space Pirate Trainer 2.0, except it's more like version -2.0. This is a stripped down, bare-bone version with some cool ideas. The first problem is that there is only one map as far as I can tell. Admittedly, I did not play this game for very long (less than 30 minutes). However, I did complete the game on normal and got to #5 on the leaderboard. I also unlocked the Pro level, but for whatever reason, it didn't work. I was stuck in the menu area of this game and I had to force quit. As far as the game goes, it's nice but it's just not dynamic enough. You can't make a game worse than Space Pirate Trainer without adding something interesting to hook you in to make you want to play it for more than a few minutes. And I'm not giving a negative recommendation solely because it's worse than SPT. It's also just not interesting enough for me to want to play it any longer. It's als…

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this game. Its mechanics are very fun and addictive, where you have to cut the targets and get a good score to participate in the leaderboard, and there are cosmetics to unlock and use during the game. The price is not bad for what it offers. The game is really good! I hope the game gets a little more attention so more people can enjoy it too. It's simple, but very good!

It's a simplistic game that checks all the boxes and has a solid amount of fluff. Anybody who has a VR headset should be able to play this game without serious ill effect. The game is light, and only requires modest dodging. The core mechanics are simple - you slash your sword, it shoots out a sword wave which hits the enemies. The enemies shoot large slow-moving bullets at you, you dodge them. Your score primarily depends on how many enemies you shoot down and how often your sword waves hit. At the end of each stage you get an upgrade. If you get the "right" 3 upgrades, you get a special sword. There's only 4 stages - so you only get the special sword for one stage. Given that each run of the game is about 5 minutes, you never really feel gypped if you don't get the right upgrades - you just pick yourself up and get at it again. In this way, the game's tightly designed. At first glance, it looks like the limited nature of the game means that there's only so many points you can get. However, there is a single nuance which adds a lot of depth to the game - you can slash enemies multiple times and get (some) extra score out of them. If you look carefully at how this goes, someone…

Gameplay: +It is fun and looks very cool slashing stuff with your blade. +There are a lot of skills to try and certain combinations give you a unique looking blade. -There is only one stage and 3 difficulty settings. The first 2 are not really worth playing more than once, since your slashes have auto-aim and you have limited skill selection. Controls: -The slashing feels odd. You slice with your sword and when you stop the energy slash comes out. So to be accurate you swing your sword and then point at the enemy you want to hit. This is not very intuitive. If you were to properly do a swing from top down your slash would fire into the ground. The sword feels more like a magic stick that you charge by swinging it around and when you stop moving it, it fires a projectile. For me the game was ok. Certainly fun to play, but I can't imagine going back to it regularly. I am not the type to hunt for high scores. If you enjoy hunting high scores and a game that you can play in short bursts (1 round takes only a few minutes) then I can recommend it.
