How it feels

A fast, frantic arcade shooter that feels like a chaotic bullet hell in virtual reality, demanding quick reflexes to survive hordes of enemies.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful and chaotic VR adaptation of the classic horde shooter, with dual-wielding weapons adding a fresh twist. The port is largely praised, but some note it runs poorly over wireless VR, and motion sickness is a real issue for many, with lens flares and a lack of seated play height adjustment also criticized.
