Rat It: Plague Hunter

Rat It: Plague Hunter - Ein magischer VR-Shooter mit Potential Rat It: Plague Hunter ist ein Einzelspieler-Magie-Shooter-Spiel in VR. Als Alchemist musst du deine mächtige Schleuder schwingen, um alle bösen Monster auf einem mittelalterlichen Segelschiff zu vernichten. Das Spiel wurde von Fountain Game Studio entwickelt und veröffentlicht. Das Spiel ist derzeit im Early Access und die Entwickler planen, das Spiel mit ihrer Community zu verbessern. Sie planen, dass die Early-Access-Phase etwa 6 Monate dauern wird. Die meisten Funktionen des Spiels wurden bereits implementiert.Es sind auch kleine Rätsel verbaut. Einige Spieler haben jedoch Bedenken geäußert. Zum Beispiel wurde bemerkt, dass die Ratten am Anfang zwei Treffer benötigen, um besiegt zu werden, was als bestrafend und willkürlich empfunden wurde. Die Schleuder wurde als ungenau empfunden, und es wurde vorgeschlagen, eine Art Zielhilfe oder Glättung des Fadenkreuzes hinzuzufügen. Trotz dieser Bedenken hat das Spiel eine Steambase-Spielerbewertung von 60/100 erhalten. Es scheint, dass das Spiel ein großes Potential hat und mit weiteren Verbesserungen und Anpassungen ein noch besseres Spielerlebnis bieten könnte. Insgesamt bietet Rat It: Plague Hunter ein einzigartiges VR-Erlebnis mit einer interessanten Prämisse und Gameplay-Mechaniken. Es wird spannend sein zu sehen, wie sich das Spiel weiterentwickelt und verbessert. https://youtu.be/5bhKFd5Nvo4 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow Third group [/url][/list] and discover more reviews from me.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/esRYGeOApUc Close call on whether to give it a thumb's up or thumb's down. In the end, I found that this game was lacking in the fun department so I just can't recommend it. It's not a bad game per se, it was just boring to play. I found it was too repetitive. It felt mostly like a shooting gallery with the slingshot where you're just shooting rat after rat after rat. If the slingshot mechanic was fundamentally fun to use, it may have not been a problem. Unfortunately, the slingshot felt very out-dated and clunky to use. It's got a floating reticle and then you just have to pull back and hit the small moving targets. Some rats are big bullet sponges. Now, there are magical upgrades to make it more palatable, but again, the slingshot just isn't fun to use at all. There's also like a physics puzzle aspect to the gameplay. You need to find different things to shoot at, which have different effects. You may need to pull a lever by shooting with your slingshot and then see what happens. You may need to shoot a cabinet and then find it had a lot of rats inside. The game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting mostly 90 fps. I did not experience any serious issues or bugs, other than the language was in a foreign language by default. I was easily able to change language to English though just by being observant. Game is teleport only with only snap turning as well. Game is in Early Access, so it may improve in the future and be recommendable then. Currently though, it just misses the mark. You can try the free demo if you are curious. [b]Rate 4.5/10.[/b] [quote]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program.

Rat It: Plague Hunter is an Early Access VR shooter game. It worked on my Index, Quest 3 via Steam Link, and HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You are shooting small moving rats with a Slingshot. Very challenging. It says it support Quest 2 only but i was able to play it using my Index. Has a story and some puzzle elements. Maybe buy on sale. I got a free key for this from the Steam Curator program. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/23133713-VIVE-VR/]ViVE VR curator group[/url]

I got stucked in the menu because the game's default language is in an asian language that i do not even know how to read. And besides that, I felt like someone was using my gpu to mine bitcoin.

Rat it: Plague Hunter is an early access VR first person shooter game in which you, an alchemist explore a dark pirate ship and try to eradicate all plague bearer rats with a magical slingshot. As you advance into each room there are more and more rats to kill. Many are just running around but the further you get the more rats you need to find or lure. This adds a puzzle element to the game as you need to find objects you can interact with - shoot them with your slingshot. Some interactable objects do not hide rats, they can hide treasures as well, be it potions to recover health, coins, or alchemical projectiles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HtUTUju81I The gameplay is mostly this - enter a room and eliminate all the rats in it. There is a time limit before you die to poison and you can check your health on your forearm, but you can also hear it - the more you cough the less life you have (unless you take lots of damage in a single blow). Once you fail you can quickly retry. I found the slingshot mechanic fairly good. It behaves the way you'd expect. The more force you use to pull, the faster the projectile will go and the harder it will be to target. This also deals more damage and if you use maximum force the common rats can be one-shot. You can choose a playstyle based on this mechanic and you can also swap hands mid-game. Not all rooms are about rat killing though, you can also end up in a room with a puzzle element which pretty much just requires careful study of the surroundings or a room featuring a boss that has a set behavior you need to learn. These rooms are very fun and I wish there were more of them. Art style of the game is cartoonish and everything fits well together, sometimes too well as you can miss an object hiding rats. The rats are rather cute than something you'd want to shoot at first sight. One of the things that may be rather negative for many players is the fact that the game uses teleport for movement and you can only move to specific locations. When having the slingshot in your hands, you cannot move which can add some frustration. During boss battles movement is needed though. Since this game is in early access, I believe it can still be addressed and should be from my point of view. The UI is rather clunky. The most problematic is changing the projectile type while playing - it was the reason I rather did not use them at all, unless the game required it. It could be done in a similar way you choose emotes in VRChat as that is fast (or think Half-Life: Alyx) and can be comfortably done during combat without much thinking or looking at the UI. Verdict: 3.5/5 Rat it: Plague Hunter is a VR shooter game that makes you use your controllers as a magical slingshot to eliminate rats. The mechanic of the slingshot is fairly good but the gameplay still gets very repetitive, the further you get the more rats you need to eliminate and that is not the kind of a challenge I'd be personally looking for. The puzzle rooms and bosses spice things up but I still craved for more of these to break the rat killing pace. The game is fun and has a good potential if more story and more mini-game rooms are added. The game is meant to be played with oculus device, but the game worked just fine using Index and Knuckles.

Hmm, if I could give a 'eh' review I would. The game looks good, very reminiscent of Sea of Thieves, and the controls work well. The core gameplay is a fun enough, for the right person, and the slingshot mechanic feels good. And the few levels I played had quite some little secrets in it. And your hands reflecting the illness progressing is quite neat. But there are a few buts tho, there are areas where the in game langauge that isn't properly localized, and the only voice I've heard was the one in the in-game intro cinematic, very minor. And for me personally the game felt a bit hollow, with the rats just running around in predetermined tracks and it all felt a little bit surreal/silly, but that could be actually a plus. And for a party game or some casual enjoyment I'm certain that there is an audience for this game, sadly not me.
