YUKI

Yuki is fun, looks terrific, and gives a decent approximation of what it would be like to spend a day inside a Japanese TATE arcade cabinet.

Players appreciate the vibrant and psychedelic visuals, complemented by a fitting techno soundtrack, creating an immersive atmosphere. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's appeal, making it visually engaging and enjoyable.

    • “Everything feels polished, the graphics look great, a bit cartoony, but when things get hectic you appreciate how clear everything is, which helps in avoiding obstacles much easier.”
    • “The graphics are gorgeous and the art style is beautiful.”
    • “Beyond the fluid, fun gameplay, the sound design and graphics are polished like you’d expect from an Arvore game; it’s actually hallucinogenic.”
    • “Graphics are basic and quest-like, but the clean visual style helps the game look decent.”
    • “It's very polished; I love the setting and art style, and everything just feels very polished.”
    • “This, with VR, means you are going to be surrounded by psychedelic visuals.”
  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as fun, addictive, and intense, benefiting from roomscale movement that requires full-body engagement. Players enjoy the varied mechanics, including roguelite elements and randomized power-ups, which enhance replayability despite some mixed feelings about the roguelite system. Overall, the combination of fluid mechanics, beautiful graphics, and engaging sound design contributes to a highly enjoyable experience.

    • “Gameplay loop is fun and addictive; it greatly benefits from room-scale movement: both hands are used, and a lot of obstacles require ducking and dodging with the whole body for a better viewpoint.”
    • “This is really fun gameplay: it's intense to track down everything, and boy, there can be a lot, and you have to move out of your way really fast.”
    • “Overall, this is an outstanding game, and I expect to log many more hours of highly enjoyable gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay, bullet hell galore.”
    • “The bullets are slower but far more numerous, and the gameplay is more varied due to the randomized powerup choices (and somewhat randomized levels).”
    • “You can select different bladewings for Yuki to wear, that affect her stats and encourage different styles of gameplay.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is perceived as minimal, with players expressing a desire for more narrative depth, potentially through animated cutscenes. While the main campaign can be completed in about four hours, it lacks a substantial storyline, leading some to seek additional content in endless mode for continued engagement. Overall, the progression between levels is well-received, but the absence of a compelling narrative leaves some players wanting more.

    • “I can’t pinpoint exactly what made me hesitate on getting it then; I think I was looking for more story-driven VR games at the time or something, but if I had gotten it then, I would have been as blown away as I am now.”
    • “One thing I personally would love is if there was a bit more story (as an option), e.g. told in short movies like in the game's trailer, as I very much like the animation style.”
    • “Within 4 hours I was able to beat the story, but I haven't unlocked the final Bladewing yet, and I expect that to take many more hours. I am hoping that the endless mode has some real substance to it so there's still a reason to keep coming back.”
    • “While the game follows a set sequence of levels, there doesn't appear to be any real story.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability through its rogue-like elements, allowing players to enjoy endless gameplay and score-chasing opportunities. Despite being able to complete the main objective in a short time, the focus on gameplay rather than level progression encourages repeated playthroughs and upgrades.

    • “I love the replayability rogue-like element of the game.”
    • “I was able to beat the final boss after only 4 hours, but the replay value is definitely there, since this is all about gameplay and not so much about level progression.”
    • “Endless replayability and score-chasing, with a ton of persistently upgradable rogue-like elements.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its captivating art style and engaging soundtrack, which together create an immersive experience that enhances player engagement.

    • “I just love the art style, music, and general atmosphere.”
    • “The soundtrack is also a nice touch, really keeping you engaged and matching the atmosphere.”
