  • The game features a cool visual design with trippy aesthetics and fast-paced arena-style FPS combat that is enjoyable in both VR and non-VR formats.
  • The spell combining system and elemental combat provide a fun and engaging gameplay experience, with a high skill ceiling that keeps players motivated through leaderboards.
  • Multiplayer co-op adds to the fun, allowing players to enjoy chaotic battles together, and the movement mechanics are fluid and satisfying.
  • The arena combat doesn't translate well to VR, feeling more like a port of a flat game, and the aiming mechanics lack depth.
  • Level design can feel less important due to the overwhelming number of respawning enemies, and the small arenas can lead to frustrating falls off the map.
  • The game suffers from some crude graphics and a standard roguelike upgrade system, which may prevent it from standing out in the crowded VR shooter market.

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a unique and trippy aesthetic reminiscent of 90s arena-style FPS games, which many players find appealing. However, some textures appear crude or AI-generated, detracting from the overall visual experience. Despite these issues, the combination of fast-paced gameplay and beautiful graphics creates an engaging atmosphere.

    • “Pretty cool visual design with its trippy aesthetics, featuring arena style FPS combat from the 90s.”
    • “The art style is pretty damn cool and unique.”
    • “Awesome controls, fast paced and beautiful graphics.”
    • “The graphics and gameplay are quite crude by 2025 standards, and the boring roguelike upgrade system is a pretty standard affair, which ultimately prevents this game from standing out in an already crowded VR shooter space.”
    • “Only real complaint is that a few of the textures (particularly the magma level) have a little bit of the AI-generated look, but it could just be a result of the chosen art style.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring a simplistic aiming mechanic reminiscent of older titles, which may feel outdated by 2025 standards. While some players appreciate the solid controls and unique art style, others find the roguelike upgrade system uninspired and the overall experience lacking in innovation within the crowded VR shooter genre. However, fans of fast-paced games like Devil Daggers may still find enjoyment in its mechanics and slick movement.

    • “It reminds me of a bygone era, when games were good... just rock solid gameplay, tight controls, and pure vibes were all you needed.”
    • “If you enjoy Devil Daggers or Hyper Demon, this is a really natural expansion of a lot of the mechanics in those games.”
    • “The art style's really unique, the mechanic of combining elements is super fun, and the movement is really slick!”
    • “Even the aiming mechanic, where you put your hands together and charge up a power shot, has no real input beyond firing straight forward in front of you, not unlike the aiming you’d see in 1993’s Doom.”
    • “The graphics and gameplay are quite crude by 2025 standards, and the boring roguelike upgrade system is a pretty standard affair, which ultimately prevents this game from standing out in an already crowded VR shooter space.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while the game is relatively short, it offers significant replayability, enhanced by features like VR support, which adds to the overall experience.

    • “The overall game is pretty short, but there's a lot of replayability, and it also has VR support, which adds to the experience.”
    • “The overall game is pretty short, and while there is some replayability, it feels limited.”
    • “I found the game enjoyable, but once you complete it, there's not much incentive to play again.”
    • “The game lacks meaningful choices that would encourage replayability.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is commendable, with minimal bugs reported and solid performance across various systems.

    • “Not very many bugs to speak of, and performance is pretty good on my machine.”
    • “The game runs smoothly even on lower-end hardware, which is impressive.”
    • “I appreciate the developers' focus on optimization; it really enhances the overall experience.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is highly engaging, drawing players into its world to the extent that they lose track of time while playing.

    • “If my Quest 3 battery hadn’t died, I honestly wouldn’t have noticed how much time had passed — I was completely immersed in the game.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is characterized by intense action that evokes strong comparisons to "Doom Eternal," enhancing the overall excitement of the experience.

    • “The intense action and atmosphere gave me serious Doom Eternal vibes, which made the experience even more exciting.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game particularly enjoyable, highlighting the comedic element of seeing each other through the portal wormhole as a standout feature.

    • “Being able to see each other in the portal wormhole is hilarious.”
