Audioshield

The first VR game I ever played. Spent so long trying it out on the demo set up that the electronics store kicked me out. 10/10 would be embarrassed by the retail workers again.

ranked beat saber player here this game began by picking a random incorrect room direction and offered no way to fix room rotation. the game offers no customizations of any kind to switch the colors of left and right, annoying anyone who has played beat saber or has been on a boat or airplane, so there is no way to switch them back or use different colors or you are colorblind. this sin might be forgivable, but they have committed an even bigger sin of [b]not registering hits that you are not directly looking at[/b], which is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid for a VR game and removes any chance this game had for competitive play. about half the spheres come from directly overhead and none from below, resulting in you having to have your neck in uncomfortable positions for a long time, which is annoying. additionally, the number of songs they have to play are pretty minimal, and they have resorted to searching your computer for content instead. this game is barely worth the $5 sale price, and you should definitely avoid buying this game at full price for $20. there are so many better games out there, go play those instead

I've sank in some hours but I can only vouch for vanilla Elite mode. Map is great for some songs but not all. You need songs that the algorithm can create an interesting map. As for the discontinuation of Youtube support, it was nice to have but I think it is more about enjoying the songs without worrying about the ranking. (I joined before Youtube support was discontinued) Defo recommend if it is on sale as it is sorta outdated and not main-stream. I hope you find songs you like and mapped well!

One of the very few music games that exist on steam in VR form, sadly overshadowed by competitors. Recomending for genre lovers, its has unique mechanics!

好きな音楽ですぐに譜面が作れる機能はすばらしいが とんでくる青と赤の玉のうごきがモッサリ（ラグ？）していて爽快感がなく 連結ノーツを処理したあと後ろのノーツが見えなくなるという致命的な欠陥があります。

I used to absolutely love **Audioshield**. It was one of the best VR rhythm games ever made. Unfortunately, it has been completely abandoned by the developer. The biggest issue is music. Instead of being able to easily access new songs, you're now forced to jump through hoops using your own music library, downloading tracks, and transferring them to your headset. What used to be a seamless "pick a song and play" experience has become a chore. To make matters worse, the game is now riddled with crashes, bugs, and compatibility issues with newer VR hardware and software. It's obvious it hasn't been maintained in years. The gameplay is still fantastic at its core, but without continued support, modern music integration, and basic compatibility fixes, it's hard to recommend to new players. It's sad to see such an innovative VR game fade away. **RIP Audioshield.** It deserved so much better.

[Index user] I know its a very old game, but it was still compatible and I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt. It is very sad that this game hasn't been maintained into 2024. It had so much potential to rival Beatsaber and the other rhythm games, purely because it can generate a level from any song on your computer. Alas it is barebones, stutters on levels with any background other than black(even on lowest graphic settings), hitboxs seem uncomfortable, game makes no effort to avoid nearly impossible notes, and I'm frequently blinded by notes and spark effects and miss what is hiding directly behind, cant change colours (I honestly HATE BLUE in any game in this genre), no option to change menu size or distance (way to close to the eyes and large), and no audio or visual cue for failed/missed hits.
