RetroGunX VR

[b]Likes:[/b] [list] [*]Very nostalgic game that brings back a lot of good memories and incorporates these nostalgic elements in a fresh way. [*]The game is easy to pickup and play, just as long as you select the correct difficulty level that is relevant to your skill, or else the game will overwhelm you at the harder difficulties. [*]The VR interaction is smooth and natural. [/list] [b]Dislikes:[/b] [list] [*]Very little breaks inbetween waves. If you dont play a lot of VR games, your arms will probably get tired. [*]The red incoming bullets are hard to pickup and see. [*]Im not sure what bonuses are available and how they are earned mid wave. [/list]

RetroGunX lets you enjoy a classic arcade shooter experience from a whole new perspective. I love everything about this game, the look, the sound; waves of nostalgia wash over me on every stage! Speaking of waves; I know VR is FLOODED with wave shooters, but this one's definitely a cut above the rest :) Also, the developer is active in the community and really listens to player feedback; this is Early Access done right people! Apart from the occasional bug this game is already HUGE fun and shows a lot of future potential. Highly Recommend.

Das Spiel erinnert mich an meinen Kindheitsalbtraum, indem ich von riesigen Tetrissteinen erschlagen wurde! - Nein, im Ernst. Genauso sah die Action im Kopf aus, wenn man als kleiner Zwerg am C64 saß und stundenlang z.b. Space Invaders gespielt hat. Ein knallbunter quadratischer Spaß!

In terms of waveshooters this definitely is one. The weapon upgrades take WAY too long to get, so you're stuck with the pistols for awhile, which gets tiresome on the fingers. Even after you unlock other weapons it takes FOREVER to gain enough coins to upgrade them. This grindfest is so painfully boring because every time you go to the main menu you are forced for five seconds to watch "APPS BY BRATS" explode and then the title be spelled and a menu animation. In game this is marked as 0.1.4d (EARLY ACCESS) but it's not listed as early access in the steam store. Their website (http://www.retrogunx.com/home.html) states they want to release by Dec. 20, 2017, so I think the early access tag was taken off and this game was abandoned. This horrible business practice is just a scam to part a fool and his money.

If you love Atari 2600 / Intellivision / Colecovision, you will love this game. Try it, and you'll see and hear for yourself. The sound effects and graphics are so totally evocative of that era. It's basically like playing those consoles, but in VR.
