The Torus Syndicate

I wanted to like this game based on its premise, a time-crisis clone in room scale using dash mechanics to advance to levels. However, the game in its current state barely contains enough content to be standalone game and it lacking some polish that makes it worth its price. Gameplay: * If you liked playing Time Crisis at the arcade growing up, then you'll like this genre of gameplay. The player uses duck-and-cover to dodge incoming enemy rounds, and at times the game will go into a bullet-time mode to allow the player to dodge rounds or shoot grenades coming straight at them. * The story is fairly basic and some more realistic sound effects and voice over narration could definitely improve the production value of this title. No one likes to click through endless crawls of text to understand a thin storyline. * The story consists of three missions and can be beaten around 30 minutes. There are no difficulty settings. Weapons/Interactions * This is one area of the game that needs wide improvement. Switching between weapons pretty hit or miss. I could only manage to switch between the SMG and pistol around 50% of the time. * Having both grenades and reloading mechanics available…

Abandonware.

Likely abandoned - No update in months, or a peep from the developers. A damn shame too, because it feels like your standard Time Crisis arcade game which is the reason I got it. However right now its just too short for the price, and likely is just another EA Abandonware.

The game is actually really good, but it is way to short for it's price. I was able to finnish it in around 30min. As soon as more content is added, it will definitely be something I would recommend.

Game only shows imputs for vive wands. So I can't see any controls for my index controllers, I also couldn't even move in-game with those controllers. Don't buy this if you use index controllers and don't expect it to be fixed since the devs have abondoned the game.

This is by far the most fun I've had with VR. The campaign is short, but bolsters extremely immersive and fast paced gameplay. A prime example of putting game design over graphics. Like the John Wick VR game, you'll find yourself physically ducking behind cover to stay safe. After completing the short campaign, you will unlock "Classic Mode" which turns up the intensity forcing you to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and doge your way out of trouble. Keep a towel nearby, you're going to accumulate some forehead sweat.
