Blasters of the Universe
I play on the Oculus Rift and it works perfect with only 180 degrees of freedom.
This is my all time favorite VR game of the about 130+ titles I’ve played so far. It was much better than expected on the video.
The gameplay is amazingly perfect! Bullet hell is a very good discription of this game. There’s always shots and enemies somewhere and you have time to react to everything going on. I truly feel that it’s my own fault for doing something stupid and I get better all the time. All the shots coming at you makes it super immersive. The formations of the shots makes it very interesting how to tacle them. Finding a spot to stand where everything flies around you feels awesome.

BOTU is a wave shooter set inside a retro themed arcade game - it’s conscious about you playing a VR game.
You have a gun and a shield. As you progress through the “campaign” you unlock more shield types and components for the weapon customization. As you make kills, your weapons special ability charges - this brief effect (also customizable) can be anything from a powerful ray to invulnerability.
There are 4 levels in the campaign, each ending with a boss fight. Once a level is unlocked, you can also play it in endless mode. On top of that there’s a challenge mode which runs for a few days, with a predetermined weapon and shield. There are global leaderboards for all levels/modes.

Very fun and intuitive. I tend to like bullet-hell games like this where you fight until you die, upgrade, and then repeat. I ended up getting nearly every upgrade before I was done.

Control your spaceship with your hand and weave in and out of bullet hell barrages in 3d VR space! Plenty of upgrades to work towards on multiple ships to choose from each with strengths and weakness.

YUKI
Played on Oculus Quest 2 using Air Link.
This is YUKI. It’s a bullet hell rogue-lite in VR. You use your hand to maneuver YUKI around bullets while shooting at Yokaliens. The art direction is really nice here; I love the idea that you’re playing pretend with a toy in your hand. The graphics are nice as well.
The gameplay is really fun! Dodging bullets is a lot of fun, though note that you’ll have a much easier time with it if you’re able to move around a lot. It can get pretty frantic at times, though you have both YUKI’s Shield and Pod’s Freeze to help. Trying to aim and dodge at the same time can be pretty difficult, too!

This game is fantastic and deserves a lot more attention!
It’s a rogue-lite bullet hell shooter with a bunch of unlockable upgrades, unlockable bladewings and brutal levels that will take some time to master. You’ll have to stack firepower upgrades, drone upgrades, pod upgrades and health upgrades each run in order to turn Yuki into a beast to take down the bosses. I also love the set dressing of it being in the imagination of a kid (you) playing with an action figure (YUKI) from their favorite TV show.

Warchasm
I really enjoyed this. Solid first-person shooter with an authentically retro feel and a fittingly 80’s synth soundtrack. Devilishly tricky in parts but defiantly enjoyable enough to keep it entertaining.

Liked this. Liked it a lot.

Antiprism
Ok here’s my full review. The game starts hard both in campaign and endless because of the slow weapon they give you first. Maybe they could have started the game with the railgun or upgrade the base weapon to 2 beams instead of just 1, making it more fair and more different than the railgun when not upgraded. Making the upgrades 2-3-5 beams instead of 1-3-5 beams.
The game ended abruptly in the short 6th chapter with a somewhat underwhelming boss battle. I felt the campaign was a bit short with missing bosses battles. (In endless there’s no shortage of bosses so that’s great but I would have like one or two more different ones). There’s no big story and you don’t get attached to the characters of the game, it’s all action but I didn’t really mind that. I like the variety of enemies but the critters feels like they could to be adjusted, a lot of times I couldn’t finish them fast enough and I’m not sure how to kill them if you don’t have seeking missiles since once they get to you they circle close around you so I extend my arms and make big circles for a minute while they chase me until the missiles take care of them, weird mechanic.

I started playing this in beta a few weeks ago and fell in love with it right away. It’s ambitious for a small dev team and you can tell they put everything they could into it. For a space themed shooter they have cracked it. The environments are great especially the floating asteroids and planet galaxy backdrops you get the sense your really in the void. As to the shooting, the waves can sometimes be a little short but I think the aim is to be a casual bullet hell shooter and I’ve found myself just playing Antiprism for the no thinking just shoot aspect. Time and time again instead of bigger games. I want to see more intense enemy waves and bosses so I will keep playing but all in all they have done a great job with this. Just little tweaks needed here and there but totally enjoyable experience. I can’t wait for this to come to quest2 as this game deserves to get noticed

Blaston
An intense competitive VR workout game that combines FPS mechanics, with deck building and a hint of fighting game mechanics. In this game you face another live opponent (or bots while you wait for a real opponent), in a 1 vs 1 duel. Guns spawn around your play field. You fire swarms of slow moving bullets at your opponent, while simultaneously dodging their bullets or blocking them. Learn a variety of weapon combos to gain the edge over your opponent. The game is easy to learn, with a high skill ceiling.

This is the best VR game I have ever played. It’s a steal for the price.
Easy to learn, impossible to master, and the most intense workout of any game available.
All of your opponents are human so no two matches are ever the same. There are endless combinations of tactics and you will pick up new ones constantly from your opponents. There’s always a way to best even the seemingly impossible opponents.
Seriously this game will work up a sweat like no other. It is a complete cardio workout program. You will crouch, jump, lean, duck, dodge, and not even realize how hard you’re working out because the matches are so intense.

Evasion
Excellent performance, medium lenght storyline (~4hs) excellent voice acting, audio and fun gameplay.
This game feels like it has great production value all around, the coop is very easy to host and join games (no mid level joining though)
I played this game a couple of times with my son in coop and its been a blast, the mechanics are simple, but they mix them up a bit to keep things interesting… As the enemies are robots, there is no blood and although violent, id say its family friendly.
BUT the game does feel a bit on the “simple” side, and does get a bit repetitive, in my opinion because you are forced to use the same weapon the whole level. (you choose before starting) The weapons are fun but would have loved the ability to mix it up mid level. and they are all similar, so there is no variation there.

Classic Halo-esque style combat! And it’s Co-op! Very easy to get into VR FPS shooter, think Halo meets Space Pirate Trainer. 9 Levels of Non-Stop Action that ramp up to a variety of different enemy types that require different strategies to defeat without dying (especially if you go at it alone during the last few levels!). Although the gameplay is simple, the player is rewarded for doing more than just point and shoot combat. You get health and surge/power ups by tactically using your whip to pull enemies apart. Kill them and miss a chance at a higher probability of getting a much needed health regeneration vial or that last yellow vial needed to release your powerful “Surge” attack and feel like an invulnerable bad-ass for a few moments. Took about 5 hours to complete alone, could probably finish it in 3 with a partner in Co-op mode. The only thing that could use work is adding the option to have controller directed movement, instead of only headset facing.

Rhythm ‘n Bullets
This is an amazing game that makes you feel so powerful. At first I was a little confused about what was happening, but i quickly go on and had lots of fun. The style of the game is just so amazing. I will be playing this game a lot and have fun doing it. It would be nice to see a power up that is a trap that you can put down, and if the bad ships hit it they blow up.

Ever wanted to pretend you’re a Gundam pilot? Look no further. Fun shoot ‘em up action in VR. Shoot, dodge, and upgrade. Easy to pick up and play and does require some degree of skill. It’s lit.
