22 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is generally praised for its exciting mechanics, easy-to-learn controls, and decent graphics, making it engaging, especially in single-player mode. However, the reliance on teleportation as the primary movement mechanic in a VR shooter has drawn mixed reactions, with some players finding it frustrating and stilted compared to traditional fluid movement in 2D shooters. Additionally, the absence of a tutorial leaves players to navigate the mechanics through trial and error.
“Exciting gameplay mixed with fun and easy-to-learn controls, as well as decent graphics and few glitches make this one of my favorite games to play on the Vive.”
“Yes, it's still early access, but the concept and game mechanics are very solid.”
“Very solid gameplay.”
“Also, I know the only real moving mechanic in the VR world now is teleportation, but for an FPS, this is kind of silly because if I'm behind cover shooting at you, the person can teleport right behind me and kill me.”
“As with battledome, I'm not sure where I sit on the teleport mechanic in a VR shooter - waiting to teleport is really frustrating, and a huge part of '2D' shooters is fluidity of movement; teleporting makes the action feel stilted.”
“The game also lacks any sort of tutorial, so it's a bit of trial and error to understand the mechanics.”
