    The graphics of the game are characterized by a retro aesthetic reminiscent of classic shooters like Doom and Wolfenstein, featuring simple, colorful visuals that evoke nostalgia while maintaining a charming appeal. While some players appreciate the unique art style and smooth performance, others criticize the repetitive environments and occasional graphical glitches. Overall, the graphics effectively complement the gameplay, though they may not satisfy those seeking modern, high-fidelity visuals.

    • “An off-the-walls campaign with a timeless art style, Quell 4D deserves some credit for being one of the scant few Vive-era games that still works almost perfectly on modern headsets.”
    • “The simple colorful graphics work surprisingly well, giving the game a very distinct style that works together with the music and sound effects to pull you into this surreal world.”
    • “The graphics are very pleasant to the eye, enemy types are varied and provide different strategies, the control style is very easy to use, and quite frankly this is a game that is few on the VR market.”
    • “I get this game is going for Doom/Wolfenstein aesthetics, but the extremely repetitive-feeling rooms and the heavy use of billboards just looks pretty ugly to me.”
    • “The visuals look nifty in the trailer, but not so much when you get depth perception involved.”
    • “Beyond level 1, it breaks away from the 'enter room, kill everyone' formula and introduces well-known FPS tropes such as avoiding snipers and shooting exploding barrels; however, due to the cartoonish aesthetic, all rooms and corridors look the same.”

    • “Highly recommend this game for those looking for a fun, frantic, fast-paced shooter in the old-school style of Wolfenstein/Doom era gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is very reminiscent of Doom or Wolfenstein 3D, with a heavy emphasis on moving and dodging over taking cover during combat.”
    • “You would've thought there could be a teleport mechanic, much like Raw Data, but the movement and aiming just feels off to me.”
    • “The gameplay is ok but I really feel like for the price I would expect a lot more.”

  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “While the somewhat kooky storyline and characters make the game feel like it could be fun, I have a number of problems with the game.”
    • “The story and premise are nothing to write home about either, managing to fail at taking itself seriously or being comical.”
    • “There are VR wave-based shooters that are fine, but none that have this style of both story (which to me is something Adult Swim/Adventure Time style themed) as well as the free movement combat.”
