  • The game has a fun and intense arcade shooter feel, reminiscent of classic titles like Time Crisis and Virtua Cop.
  • Destructible environments and the ability to dual-wield weapons add an exciting layer to the gameplay.
  • The developer is actively updating the game and has plans for more content, which shows potential for improvement.
  • The movement system is clunky and limited to predefined waypoints, which can feel restrictive and lead to nausea.
  • Graphics and sound design are lacking, with outdated visuals and poor voice acting detracting from the overall experience.
  • The game feels unfinished, with only a couple of maps and limited weapon options, making it hard to justify the current price.

    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players finding it dull and repetitive due to clunky movement and outdated graphics, while others appreciate the simple mechanics and violent action it offers. The game features dual weapon selection and destructible environments, but lacks engaging audio and variety in dialogue. Overall, while some enjoy the fast-paced, wave-based shooting experience, others feel it falls short of expectations, particularly in terms of immersion and excitement.

    • “You can select dual weapons at any time, destroy pillars, windows, walls, and the locomotion mechanics are awesome.”
    • “Fast Action Hero is an intensive first-person shooter in VR for HTC Vive, with a wave-based style of gameplay, set around cool areas with stunning graphics and physics.”
    • “The gameplay is what sells this game.”
    • “The graphics are outdated and the gameplay is ridiculously dull.”
    • “The movement system is clunky and the spawn mechanics are just repetitive.”
    • “With all-around boring gameplay and lack of any music during gunfights to make it seem like an action movie, like the game likes to claim that it takes after, horrible cringy voice acting and the same few lines of dialogue being shouted over and over again every few seconds, I personally don't think that this game is worth the money, even at its low base price of $11.99.”

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising them as stunning and reminiscent of classic titles, while others find them outdated and mediocre. Overall, the visuals are described as decent, with good weapon models and animations, but they do not consistently impress compared to other VR shooters.

    • “Fast Action Hero is an intensive first-person shooter in VR for HTC Vive, with a wave-based style of gameplay, set around cool areas with stunning graphics and physics.”
    • “Graphics are really great, the weapon handling is good, the intensity is awesome, and I got totally sweaty playing for about 20 minutes only! It really is a good workout when you need to hide from the bad guys all the time; I just love it!”
    • “Pros: great graphics”
    • “The graphics are outdated and the gameplay is ridiculously dull.”
    • “Graphics are mid and the gunplay is decent enough but falls flat compared to other VR shooters like Onward.”
    • “The graphic style is like a modern version of Virtua Cop (an old Sega game); whether this is good or bad is personal.”
  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music is largely criticized for its absence during key action sequences, leaving players to endure repetitive sound effects and poor voice acting instead. While some users note that the music has potential and is enjoyable in certain contexts, it lacks the necessary ambiance and inspiration to enhance the overall experience, making the gameplay feel bland and underwhelming. Overall, the lack of impactful music during critical moments detracts significantly from the game's action movie aspirations.

    • “Played for about 10 minutes then stopped after experiencing all the game has to offer (unless there was stuff that I missed?) The game has potential; it's pretty, the music is cool and I like the movement system.”
    • “- I wish the music had more ambience (I think the music comes from the virtual speakers).”
    • “- The music is not particularly inspired.”
    • “Well, not in this action game. There's no music during fights at all, so you're stuck listening to the obnoxious sound of your controllers vibrating every time you fire a bullet, the sound of the bullets being fired from the guns, and the enemies' bad voice acting while they awkwardly shout insults at you and threaten your life, over and over again... it's true torture.”
    • “With all-around boring gameplay and lack of any music during gunfights to make it seem like an action movie, like the game likes to claim it takes after, horrible cringy voice acting, and the same few lines of dialogue being shouted over and over again every few seconds, I personally don't think that this game is worth the money, even at its low base price of $11.99.”
    • “I know it's in early access, but that doesn't mean the game shouldn't have basic things like music or more than four or five lines of dialogue, which isn't actually that bad, but it just makes it seem so bland and underwhelming.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is currently lacking, with players noting the absence of a narrative and scripted missions in the alpha version. However, there is hope that future updates will introduce more diverse maps and a compelling storyline to enhance the overall experience.

    • “No story.”
    • “This shows what this game could be with lots of different maps and a little story to go along with it.”
    • “I hope they will push some more scripted missions before the final release.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is criticized for being bland and lacking personality, resulting in a lack of excitement that may only hold players' attention for a short time. While it is deemed not a bad game overall, its uninspired atmosphere detracts from the overall experience.

    • “If you find this on sale for five bucks, then go right ahead and get it, because it's not a bad game, it's just lacking atmosphere and personality, which doesn't make it an exciting game you'll want to play for more than ten minutes.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game's optimization, highlighting its impressive arcade-like performance that enhances the overall gaming experience.

    • “That is a real arcade performance!”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find humor in minor bugs, particularly one where shooting a fallen enemy's corpse in the main menu elicits amusing 'oofff' sounds, adding a lighthearted touch to the game experience. This quirky interaction is seen as more entertaining than disruptive.

    • “Another minor bug which is more funny than game breaking is that if the game ends and there is a body of an enemy lying on the floor, you can continue to shoot the corpse while in the main menu screen and it continues to make little 'oofff' noises!”
