Chamber 19

Full Disclosure: I was given a beta key to review this game. No, this does not affect my opinion of it. Chamber 19 is an immersive and intense reimagining of the Lab's Xortex. If you liked Xortex, but felt that it lacked content, this game was made for you. Granted it doesn't have the graphics of a triple A title, however it is still leaps and bounds ahead of most indie vr games and is still only in Early Access. Definitely worth the $15.

Just because it\'s like Xortex, that does not mean it\'s as good. Wait until either this developer (it is still in Early Access) or another comes out with something as polished as Valve\'s offering.

I thought this would just be a worse version of Xortex but I am really into it! If you like Xortex I would definitely recommend this one.

Was about to write a bad review but dang this new update is bananananas haha. Multiplayer is incredible, but i wish more people were online! to the reviews saying the polish and graphics arent there, update please, I hate to see this early access title get badly reviewed for an old version of the game. keep up the good work :D!!!!!

Chamber 19 is an excellent bullet hell vr shooter. You fight increasingly difficult waves of enemies with a ship you hold in your hand, exactly like Xortex. The game introduces new enemies at an acceptable pace, giving you time to get better throughout a single playthrough. There are a few different power ups, some that spawn when enemies are killed and a choice of 4 powerful upgrades after defeating a boss. I like the second drone upgrade, allowed me to score #4 on the global leaderboards. Missile upgrade kind of sucks, I find the missiles loop too much and your stuck unable to fire at targets right in your face. I would prefer rapid fire micro-missiles over the current giant mess that they are. It's very distracting. The bosses are good, however I feel the first and second bosses are far more difficult then the next 2. Not sure how to beat wave 30 though, that thing scared me. I like the new options recently added, the 180 mode is a far superior experience. Just a note that I got major slowdown around wave 27-29 with a GTX 1080, so definitely some optimization is needed. Overall I recommend this game to anyone who liked Xortex.

It's a crappier, less fun version of Xortex (which is free as part of "The Lab" if you didn't know), so skip this and go play that instead. Chamber 19 isn't HORRIBLE, but it is below average. At $15 USD it's a joke. At $2, I'd still say go play Xortex instead. 2,000+ games on my account and I think this is the maybe the 2nd time I've removed a game from my account.

Updated graphics and multiplayer addition make this game great now! Amazing dev! Thumbs up!
