HORIZON VANGUARD

Exceptionally hard and very good VR interpretation of both shmups and on-rails shooter. Only been able to unlock a few zones so far, but it's a blast! The mechanic of looking down on your bike to see a top down view of the playfield to more easily dodge bullets is genius, and simultaneously blasting ground enemies with the bike and lining up pistol shots feels amazing. Runs smooth and My one complaint is that II wish there was a mechanic to hold down a button or trackpad on the movement controller to slow my speed to more easily dodge dense patterns. Will be playing it more!

Definitely a tough and enjoyable arcade like game where it feels like your deaths are your fault.

Its like SNES Starfox in VR. Super fun, challenging, and addictive. Logged on to play something else, but can't put it down!

Excellent game, but so brutally difficult. For the most part, shmup-style gameplay translates really well to VR, but having to rely on the radar in bullet-hell boss fights is kind of a bummer.

Livestream of Horizon Vanguard: https://youtu.be/0Q9AFZCuXfA I’ve get the opportunity to check out lots of indie games and now and again a game stands out above all others and that is this game. The Style this game oozes is huge and being a fan of shoot ‘em ups this really ticks all the boxes. The music is amazing too. If your a bit old skool your gonna be reminded of many games from back in the day. I do have some ideas though that I have sent to the developers I feel will push this game from great indie to must own VR shooter. I’m always looking to check out retro games in VR, so it’s not often I get to play a new VR game that feels so retro. I love this

Pretty great arcade aesthetic, even down to the difficulty

Do you like shmups? Do you like lightgun games like Time Crisis or LA Machineguns? Does the idea of playing a shmup and Time Crisis at the same time intrigue or excite you? Horizon Vanguard is that game. And it's incredibly fun!
