Stardust VR

*** Updated Review 4/12/2019 *** Now that the game is officially released, I updated my review to reflect the changes in the game. Unfortunately, I still don't like the game as the changes/updates made weren't enough to change my opinion. This is still a subpar waveshooter that belongs to the realm of the mobile VR .99 cents category. You can view my updated review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/oziUeFK22Zg [h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] I got this game for free as part of the Steam Curator Connect program. This is a 180 degree stand still wave shooter. You have one gun, although there are certain upgrades like a shield or slow motion or a gravity blast. I usually like to play any game I get free longer than I did with this game so I can give a full & detailed review, but I had to tap out. It just wasn't fun and I wasn't making any further progress. I am 100% that playing it longer wouldn't change my opinion, in fact, it would probably just make me dislike the game more. Honestly, I had gone as far as I could tolerate. I survived until the 14tth wave on my second playthrough. On my first playthrough I believe I got the to the 10th wave. I think that's when the small bees that break into even smaller insects starts. So this game starts out with I guess these drone bugs or alien bugs. They are different colors and most of them break into smaller bugs. You shoot the powerups to get them and then activate when you want. I think you get the same exact enemy for like 9-10 waves, then the second type of enemy shows up which is an alien wasp / bee that breaks into microscopic insects. They are difficult to see and, thus, difficult to shoot. Your HP slowly goes down each wave that you take damage and I didn't see a way to get HP back. Did I have any fun? No. The only good thing is that I could keep the trigger finger pressed down. So it wasn't as annoying as it could have been. Most of the difficulty is just more enemies on the screen. They do move in very evasive manners. Occasionally they will shoot projectiles at you or just come towards you. Rate 4/10. This is not a $8.99 USD game or a $7.64 USD game. It's more like a .99 cents mobile VR game.

Decent VR wave shooter with a great popping sound of shot enemies. Definitely worth on sale or in a bundle. https://youtu.be/H9TDicErlEw

What a great game! :) Just played my first half hour and came back to leave an early review to (hopefully) encourage others to get it too. IT IS a wave shooter - no avoiding that. But it's a retro-fit shooter that gives me flashbacks to the classic Galaxians arcade. Which is a good thing! The graphics are very colourful and present a unique stylized environment from which you face your enemies. You've got an epic looking blaster and there's also a shield power-up you can collect which you hold in the other hand. Mentioning Galaxians is a great way to describe how the game plays. The music/audio fx also need a shout-out. The environment reacts to the beats of the music and there are numerous cool audio effects, like the black hole effect power-up, or the slow time one. There's a lot of polish in this Early Access title already including an expansive options screen to help tweak the graphics performance to suit your setup. Only one environment is available so far ("Space War") and I've only played in Single Player (on the Oculus Rift with Touch) but there is a multiplayer too, so hopefully the VR community helps this title to grow. An obvious comparison would be Space Pirate Trainer which is a roomscale experience, but in my case SPT goes overboard and there's far too much dodging rather than shooting for my liking. Stardust on the other hand is an easy to play arcade shooter, and that's good thing if you find titles like SPT too much effort after a day's work. If you note some of the depressingly high scores then keep in mind you need to get past wave 10 before the scores start ramping up, with the enemies getting more challenging! Looking forward to seeing the game grow in content and hopefully with its community too.

Hey all :-), i´ve tested this game i don´t kow how others thinking about it its a kind of retro gaming, i love the grafic. The gameplay is also fine, but very hard ( thats awesome thats not too easy, that everybody can handle it). But also a tip maybe you will start the game and click anything but nothing happens, click on your monitor the game and it will work. Have fun with this game its funny and you can play it also with a friend, beside you :D I don´t know if i have forgotten something, maybe others will make a comment to this, that it will be complete for other gamers :3 Greetings to all :-)

I tried this out with a Quest 2. Controls were not intuitive and perhaps biggest of all, this game is no relation to the awesome shooter "Super Stardust". I probably should have looked more closely before buying it.

No puedes jugar de pie en la habitatción, es necesario tener la habitación completa y despejada para poder jugar.
