Stardust VR

*** Updated Review 4/12/2019 *** Now that the game is officially released, I updated my review to reflect the changes in the game. Unfortunately, I still don't like the game as the changes/updates made weren't enough to change my opinion. This is still a subpar waveshooter that belongs to the realm of the mobile VR .99 cents category. You can view my updated review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/oziUeFK22Zg [h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] I got this game for free as part of the Steam Curator Connect program. This is a 180 degree stand still wave shooter. You have one gun, although there are certain upgrades like a shield or slow motion or a gravity blast. I usually like to play any game I get free longer than I did with this game so I can give a full & detailed review, but I had to tap out. It just wasn't fun and I wasn't making any further progress. I am 100% that playing it longer wouldn't change my opinion, in fact, it would probably just make me dislike the game more. Honestly, I had gone as far as I could tolerate. I survived until the 14tth wave on my second playthrough. On my first playthrough I believe I got the to the 10th wave. I …

Decent VR wave shooter with a great popping sound of shot enemies. Definitely worth on sale or in a bundle. https://youtu.be/H9TDicErlEw

What a great game! :) Just played my first half hour and came back to leave an early review to (hopefully) encourage others to get it too. IT IS a wave shooter - no avoiding that. But it's a retro-fit shooter that gives me flashbacks to the classic Galaxians arcade. Which is a good thing! The graphics are very colourful and present a unique stylized environment from which you face your enemies. You've got an epic looking blaster and there's also a shield power-up you can collect which you hold in the other hand. Mentioning Galaxians is a great way to describe how the game plays. The music/audio fx also need a shout-out. The environment reacts to the beats of the music and there are numerous cool audio effects, like the black hole effect power-up, or the slow time one. There's a lot of polish in this Early Access title already including an expansive options screen to help tweak the graphics performance to suit your setup. Only one environment is available so far ("Space War") and I've only played in Single Player (on the Oculus Rift with Touch) but there is a multiplayer too, so hopefully the VR community helps this title to grow. An obvious comparison would be Space Pirate …

I tried this out with a Quest 2. Controls were not intuitive and perhaps biggest of all, this game is no relation to the awesome shooter "Super Stardust". I probably should have looked more closely before buying it.
