Outpost L5

Many years ago I used to dream about being a little person in the spaceship behind those barriers taking down those invaders. I just lived that dream, thank you VR and thank you whoever made this little gem of a game.

It's Space Invaders in VR - What else do you need to know? Works well and lots of fun. It does have a bug where enemies can stay on screen when they're meant to at times.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST, in a new format. If you enjoyed Spacies then you have to try this, it's the 21st century version.

이걸 무료로 배포하는게 아니라 판다고? 그냥 스페이스 인베이더를 FPS로 하는 게임인데, 진짜 2D 환경에서의 FPS로 합니다. 뭐 아이템이 있는것도 아니고, 그냥 옛날 그 게임처럼 똑같이 이루어 집니다. 근데 이게 만원이라고? 제정신인가?? 무료였다면 오, VR로 고전게임의 향수를 불러올수 있구나로 끝낼수 있을 좋은 게임이였을텐데, 1000원도 아니고 10000원?!?!?!

Outpost L5 is an older game from 2016. It's a venerable 9 years old at the time of this review. It's an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Space Invaders (Copyright Taito, 1978). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Taito against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown. Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Outpost L5 is considerably worse than Space Invaders. The only differentiator here is that it's in VR from a first person perspectic (so the aliens are coming in at you on a flat plane?? Makes no sense). With such a poorly done derivative work, it's unsurprising there's a number of technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this game would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the game great is the VR, then the game isn't great at all. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visuals, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and trying to disguise it under the name of "art", or "We made it look bad on purpose", which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with. It's unclear why the developers weren't willing to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets and high resolution textures for the game. It looks bad as a result of their decisions, and that's just another reason to avoid it. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Outpost L5 didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "L1", for finishing the first level, trivial to get, but less than 11 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, even the people who own this game weren't interested in it. The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? Outpost L5 is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 14,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.

its just space invaders in vr except the red aliens are broken and will stay rendered on the screen even after you kill them about 50% of the time
