  • gameplay
    100 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a solid and enjoyable experience, reminiscent of classic arcade shooters like "Time Crisis," featuring cover mechanics and a variety of mission types. However, some players find it repetitive and lacking in depth, with a focus on "on-rails" shooting and limited narrative. Despite these criticisms, many appreciate the weapon customization, immersive controls, and the potential for extensive gameplay hours.

    • “Mechanics and gameplay are solid and fun, on par with other VR shooters.”
    • “The gameplay is really fun, and there hasn't been an on-the-rail wave shooter yet, or at least none have caught my attention until this.”
    • “Immersive and fast-paced gameplay deserves to be called a masterpiece.”
    • “Apart from that, it is quite repetitive gameplay without any storyline.”
    • “Unfortunately, all of this is ruined by the gameplay.”
    • “As bland and uninspired gameplay-wise as its name suggests.”
  • story
    76 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely absent, with players noting a "wafer-thin" plot that doesn't detract from the overall experience, as the focus is on completing missions and objectives. While the gameplay is repetitive and primarily consists of variations of "wave-shooter" mechanics, the progression system through mission stars and upgrades provides a sense of accomplishment. Despite the lack of a compelling narrative, many players find the mission structure and customization options engaging enough to sustain their interest.

    • “Thin story, but progression in the form of levels, better guns, and equipment.”
    • “Rated against the length of story in other VR games, this seems about the right amount of content for the price, especially with how fun it is to play.”
    • “Apart from that, it's quite repetitive gameplay without any storyline.”
    • “Cringy voice acting, janky weapon attachments, and a plot that is wafer thin.”
    • “There really isn't anything in the way of an actual story, but there really didn't need to be one.”
  • graphics
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players noting that while they are not groundbreaking, they are decent and functional for the gameplay experience. Some users appreciate the smooth performance and variety in environments, while others criticize the low-budget feel, simplistic character models, and occasional flat textures. Overall, the graphics are considered satisfactory for the type of game, with some players expressing a desire for improvements.

    • “Graphics are beautiful and very smooth (Radeon R9 290X OC, i5 4960K OC).”
    • “Great graphics.”
    • “Graphics may not be the best looking but it runs fantastic, which I will take over better graphics any day at this point.”
    • “You really feel the low budget with its graphics and poorly voiced lines.”
    • “It is pretty bug free but features terrible artwork and character animations.”
    • “Not very pretty - the graphics are quite polygonal and textures for many objects are flat/static pictures.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is improving, with many users noting a reduction in bugs and glitches due to ongoing developer updates. However, some players have reported occasional freezes in the menu and frame rate drops, as well as minor graphical issues, particularly with handguns and the tutorial. While the game is generally considered bug-free, the artwork and character animations have received criticism.

    • “I also experienced several freezes in the game menu, requiring a restart, and occasionally the frame rate would just tank for a few seconds.”
    • “The tutorial was a little buggy in the beginning, but I restarted and it was fine.”
    • “There are a few minor graphics glitches with the handguns, but I'm sure that this will be addressed with the updates.”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game reminiscent of mobile titles, with a weapon progression system that necessitates replaying levels to unlock upgrades, even after completing secondary challenges. While the grind is present, it is not excessively demanding, as there are no in-app purchases and players do not need to invest an overwhelming amount of time to progress. Overall, the grind is seen as manageable but still a notable element of the gameplay experience.

    • “The weapon progression system made me think of mobile games, and felt kind of grindy.”
    • “Though, 6.5 hours in, and I have completed 19 of the 20 completable levels, and am grinding for better guns in order to beat the last mission.”
    • “"Grindy" in nature, as the upgrades don't necessarily follow your progress throughout the game, requiring you to replay levels even after you've completed all of the secondary challenges.”
  • replayability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability, particularly through achievement chasing and the pursuit of high scores, which encourages players to revisit levels. Users appreciate the variety in gameplay, especially in wave shooter mechanics, making it appealing for fans of arcade-style first-person shooters. Overall, the replay value is considered high, with players motivated to return for additional challenges and rewards.

    • “At least, with this wave shooter, there is actual 'achievement chasing' to be had which could greatly extend the replay value of the game.”
    • “Nonetheless, the replay value is great, and you'll find yourself always going back to Verkills if you like the arcade-style first-person shooters.”
    • “The replay value of the levels is high, as you can aim to get all the stars or additional money; I've even grown to like the ones with the heavy machine gun.”
    • “The replay value of the levels is high; to get all the stars or additional money, I've even grown to like the ones with the heavy machine gun.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game is highly praised, with users highlighting the in-depth weapon customization that significantly affects both performance and aesthetics, resulting in a seamless and enjoyable experience.
