About Verzaken! VR Adventure
"You awaken in a strange place, empty of any noticeably intelligent life. Surrounded by zombie robots, aimless and chaotic. The world around you seems to be an endless string of "islands" floating in a void. Fight your way through the unique procedurally generated levels, collect valuable artifacts and try to find a way to that distant tower in hopes of finding a way out of the chaos."
Verzaken! is the first full game from American indie game development company, interFusion Games (based in Michigan, USA).
Verzaken! is now a full-blown room scale VR game with motion controls! The way it was truly meant to be played...!
Verzaken! is a 3D action adventure set in a mysterious world. Guide your nameless, amnesiac protagonist through island after island, each unique, each one in a million spread amongst the Void. Face off against an enigmatic enemy, as you seek to discover what drives them, what they did to this world and it's people, and how you fit into the picture....
*Please note that currently, there may be an unexpected bug in the last update. The assets have been lost, so I am uncertain when this can be fixed. That being said, I do not know how often the bug occurs*
Remember the dawning of the age of 3D gaming? When 16-bit consoles were starting to age, and the world was itching for 3D and excited for the possibilities that 3D graphics would bring? The graphical style of Verzaken! will bring back that retro-3d optimism, that 32-bit enthusiasm... Now take that retro-32 bit graphical style and imagine what an 8-bit action adventure would be like, forcibly evolved to early 32-bit glory...and you have "VERZAKEN!"
The 1990s came and went, and the 32 and 64 bit consoles with them. If you want to re-experience the early days of 3D, 32-bit retro deliciousness...... Verzaken! is for you.
Verzaken! features two play modes. In Classic mode, you play through 30 levels, will encounter 3 boss fights and are given a save option. In this story-driven "campaign" mode, you will uncover the mystery of who you are, and more importantly where you are, as you stand against legions of Zombie Robots and unlock one of multiple endings.
In Arcade mode, you will advance through infinite levels, fighting off "waves" of enemies that become increasingly more numerous and more difficult with each level. Arcade mode features permadeath and a score system. Both modes feature melee style combat, tons of loot and limited elements of puzzle solving.
Verzaken! takes advantage of procedural generation of levels, enemies and weapons, making each playthrough a truly unique experience.
How to describe Verzaken!?
"VERZAKEN!" could be described as a 3D rogue-like action adventure with infinite possibilities.
It could be described as the lonely journey of a mysterious character, lost and isolated in an endless world seemingly without meaning or logic.
It could possibly be described as an attempt to bring 2d classic action-adventures into the 3rd dimension while adding inspiration from roguelites as well as treasure-hunting and collecting elements.
It's art style could even be described as a love-letter to the 32 and 64-bit era of gaming.
It could be described in those ways, but describing it in any of those ways would be limiting ourselves!
Whether you play Classic Mode to get a grip on the enigmatic background of the unseen character and this mysterious, endless world and try to witness all endings... or if you prefer to fight your way through wave after wave of mindless "zombie robots" to see how far you can make it and how long you can survive, collecting infinitely variable loot along the way.... we hope you'll be equally surprised and entertained by "VERZAKEN!".

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] It works! Sort of. Actually, VR does not work automatically. You have to go into the game folders. Then get into the VR folder. Make sure Steam VR is running. Then double click on the VR game executable file, Classic mode is not available. So now you started the game. The only option is arcade mode. So you have a laser pointer to make selections and get rid of the text bubbles. Then you can pickup a pickaxe and an axe. You grab them by selecting trigger. You notice that neither of them sit correctly in your hands. In fact, the pickaxe is facing the wrong direction where your Touch controller is facing. Anyways, you wave your hands and trees fall with the axe. Rocks get excavated with your pickaxe. Kill enemies with your axe. Except, nothing feels right. It's almost impossible to tell when you've hit an enemy or rock or tree. It feels like you're aimlessly waving your hands. Combat is some of the worst that exits in VR. The game world looks ugly and repetitive. Is there an objective? Just keep killing enemies over and over and keep excavating rocks for worthless artifacts and different skinned weapons that feel th…7 found this helpful

This isn't your run of the mill beat em up, hack'n slash, rogue like, dungeon crawler, open world what have you. Verzaken is a simple yet eloquent metaphor for the banality of dopamine chasing. As dopamine a connoisseur I empathize with my brethren who are tired of your over the complicated skill based games, with those troublesome story lines, world building, and puzzles that force you to stretch out your attention span long enough to get but a trickle of sweet neurotransmitter. Verzaken is for the thinkin man, who's far too enriched with experience to want to bother enjoying an actual video game. Verzaken provides a clean, steady conveyor of dopamine hits. No mystery, no charade, no critical thinking. Just you and that sweet sweet dopamine at a click of a button. Some people may tell you there is no point to the game, that it's just a skinner box meant to milk you of your time. Well I can tell you these people are completely inept in figuring out thee game of the century. For the simple reason they are looking too deep into Verzaken. There's nothing to look into. Verzaken is like a vast ocean with an inch of depth to it. Get in the kiddy pool and tug that boat. That's what Verzak…
