This game has promise, while short it does have replayability. gameplay is simple and thats a good thing. run though stages fighting on coming enemys, kill them and they drop health and sometimes weapon mods/attachments. this is always fun as you can create some crazy creations if you get lucky enough in your run. a Mac-10 SMG that has the barrel of an Springfield chambered in .22 with a 50 round magazine is impractical in real life BUT…useful here. it has it’s fair share of bugs as expected, such as enemys clipping though walls and the odd Frame rate spike here and there but nothing game breaking (as far as im aware). worth the buy just for the price alone, but this will be a game i’ll play a round of every day just to see how fast i can finish it. speedrunners will have a blast with this i think :)

this was a whim buy. not really optimal for keyboard and mouse. game starts of with arrow keys to move and not working with aswd like most games. the cool downs for attacks feel too long i feel like im just using my basic attack most of the time. you do need to doge and block or you will get killed.

its alright for the price recommend getting on sale

Bunker Punks

Bunker Punks

The year is some time after 2025. The world has ended, and remaining resources are gathered in corporate cult bunkers with the population left to starve. Only you, one of the Bunker Punks, can stop this.

By, you know, shooting up their garages and leaving. Wreck their kitchen appliances too.

“Don’t mess with Texas!”

- Dallas, your guy. Your boy. He will carry you to victory.

Bunker Punks is a first-person arcade-roguelike, with between-playthrough unlocks. You punk and you bunk, and get to the elevator Gun Godz style.

TL;DR

Good FPS Roguelike with randomly generated levels. Gets a bit repetitive after a couple of hours and has some issues.

ART

The art is very simplistic pixel art, but does what it’s supposed to do. Character design is nice. The level design (layout and textures) can become a bit boring to look at after a while, it all looks pretty much the same.

GAMEPLAY

You start out with a pistol (or other weapon depending on character). You shoot robots, destroy props, open chests. You gain loot, equipments, money and Tech Points along the way. Your goal is to reach the elevator to progress to the next floor.

Splinter Zone

Splinter Zone

Alright so I’m only an hour and a bit into this but

I have to write a review on this because the game needs them and first impressions are always important for getting a game.

Splinter Zone is almost what happens if you have Vlambeer remake Megaman 1-3.

Here’s what I mean by that:

If you have played Megaman’s 1 to 3, some of the level segments will feel VERY familiar. .So will some of the enemy behaviours. This is not a bad thing. It’s charmingly familiar.

The Vlambeer part comes in with this RIDICULOUSLY MEATY GUN NOISES and the OBLIGATORY SCREENSHAKE (which you can tone down if you wish in the settings). I cannot tell you how delicious the explosions are too, you have to see them for yourself.

I love this game. The controls are really on point. The shooting, especially when you’re on a higher level, is so much fun. There is so much variation in the construction of the worlds. I have to admit, that it’s not the easiest game I played so far but I love the challenge and it’s still fun because I’m getting better every time I play it.

The enemies seem to be easy targets most of the time but there are quite a few that can be really tedious. All the more fun when you’ve figured out their weak spot. The most interesting part about this game seems to be, that when you’re on a certain skill-level, you can pretty much go on forever. But I think, there’s more to it, than to just beat your own highscore over and over again. The story seems to be, that you can decide for yourself, if you wanna stay in this sourrounding of shoot, kill, die, repeat or if there’s a way out of it. I’ve yet to find this way, but I’m eager to progress towards this alternative goal.

Thearchy

Thearchy

This is in fact a game.

Real player with 0.6 hrs in game

Thearchy is a 2D top down retro pixel dungeon crawler game that’s been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio construction kit from Yoyogames. Using a low quality video game construction kit invariably results in a low quality game, and there’s no exception here.

The technical implementation is fairly bare bones, with blocky 2D retro pixel “art” graphics. Controls and resolution are locked. Overall the quality and depth of the game are very low. The developer seems to have decided that PC game controllers like HOTAS, pedals, racing wheels etc are in fact console peasant childrens toy gamepads. It’s just my opinion of course, that these are in fact not console peasant pads. Regardless, the developer doesn’t agree, and maps them as if they are, so the mouse control is overridden and the mouse pointer is shoved up into the top left corner of the screen. The menu can’t be negotiated without the mouse (which the developer has rendered useless through this questionable controller design decision), so the game cannot be played. Basic testing on a gaming PC would have caught this.

CYBERUSH

CYBERUSH

I’m not quite sure what to say about ‘CYBERUSH’, it’s a manga style shooter that is very light on just about everything. You get to pick a choice of 3 weapons which are sword, gun and shotgun and you kill enemies with them then goto the lift up to the next level which seems to be a constant rotation of about 5 office style layouts. From its annoying music to the basic graphics this game is as low quality as they come, but the biggest issue is that it doesn’t really have playability to back it up. Even the money I collected in the game seemed to be for nothing. This is certainly not something I would recommend for £7.19, but if some issues get fixed it might be worth a quid or two. https://youtu.be/httvkuexin4

Super Raft Boat VR

Super Raft Boat VR

This is the 2nd best free vr game I’ve played, the art style is great, the game play is great (kinda repetitive but I’m not ask a free vr game to do better), music BOPS, action is great, basically everything in this game is great and I really wish more people would see the steam page and play it only thing that could possibly make it better would be multiplayer, but i know its difficult to implement so I’m not gonna beg for it. In conclusion, I think this would be the most popular free vr game if it game as a first result while scrolling through the vr game section of steam.

I love this game! It has a really cool concept where you have to defend your self from enemies and expand your island

Things I’d like to see-

Advance building like wall, stairs, etc

More guns

More enemies

Port over to Quest 2

More game modes

Bosses

Cons-

Tbh I couldn’t find anything wrong only lacking a bit of content but the game is new

Pros-

Good locomotion

No motion sickness

Very fun!

Game runs well

Very user friendly

Overall this is a very good game has a lot of penitential! 👍

If your the developer and reading this please add one of these things into your game I think these would be great! 😁

Sweet Surrender VR

Sweet Surrender VR

nearly 10 hours in, and I’m a HUGE fan of this game. It has some bugs, but definitely makes up for it by being one of the most fun VR games currently out there by far, in my opinion.

let me say first that the reviewers not recommending this must be incredibly hard to please, you know the type… the gamers who throw controllers, and rage about bugs.

the game just came out, bugs are to be expected. with that said though, I do think this should have been listed as early access.

I’ve encountered plenty of game breaking bugs, such as:

Real player with 17.1 hrs in game

I wanted to like this game a lot. But in the end, I couldn’t. The core concept of the game is great, but it has too many design flaws and way too many bugs.

The Good:

  • Great performance

  • Chip upgrade system is fun in concept

  • When firing on all cylinders, combat situations are a lot of fun

The Bad:

  • Bad weapon balance. Two handed weapons are almost impossible to use. I would be astonished to see anyone actually complete a level with a shotgun. Dual wielding automatic weapons will always be the superior choice in every situation.

Cyber City Escape

Cyber City Escape

Been looking for a shooter/action rogue-type game recently & this one had a cool promo video, so I decided to give it a shot. So far, there are some kinks to work out but it’s a pretty fun game. I’m not sure how many levels there will be when all’s said and done, but the difficulty definitely increases with each level…just ran into the turrets I saw from the promo video on my latest run & they got me good. You can shoot em & shut them down for a bit though. There is also AI respawning which can make things more challenging but also good for the credits.

Good game but you need to improve the UI and fix the game for different aspect ratios, mine is 16:10 and I have to play in windowed mode

I See Red

I See Red

A frantic Twin Stick Shooter that embraces destruction

I See Red is a frantic experience where you can wreak havoc and bring entire ships to crumble. Everything that you can interact with, you can destroy. Every cover and detail can explode into pieces. Use this to your advantage to expose your enemies. You can also brutally execute your foes with your own hands.

A never ending roguelite journey

Fight your way through the entire galaxy, invading spaceships from Human, Robot or Aliens races, each with their own weaponry, augments and more. By completing challenges, every time you begin a new playthrough, you will be able to experience new unexplored paths, more powerful skills, never before seen fearless enemies, the most incredible abilities and more. Make your runs more diverse every time you start anew and find new ways of achieving your vengeance!

A story of vengeance, violence and pain

You are an outlaw, crawling about the infinite black space, in search of the person that did something horrible to you. In fact, you are so focused on your quest that you started to not care about your surroundings that are alien to your goal, making them look muted, but what you do care the most it would always be in RED.

Now, corrupted on the inside, you’re tormented to find out what happened to you to be this way.

Key Features

  • A vision that highlights in RED what’s important to you and muting what’s not.

  • Your multipurpose arm, a Grappling Hook, that can latch onto the environment to bring objects at a distance, and even to your enemies to brutally murder them!

  • Everything is destructible: break down a column to uncover an enemy, grab a weapon, empty it, and throw it at their face, and then do it all over again until the entire room is broken into pieces!

  • Become stronger with each run by finding components that upgrade you in every way.

  • UNLEASH YOUR RAGE! Every time you damage (or get damaged), your rage increases, until you can release it and mutilate every enemy in your path instantly!

  • Unlock skills, passives, weapons, consumables, enemies to fight, and even ships to invade to make each playthrough unique.

  • A dynamic music system that adapts to the current mood of the fight.
