Strike VR

On-The-Rails VR shooter, gunning down airplanes and sinking ships. Eventually going to space, but still - get those power ups and go for high scores! https://youtu.be/KGsi80EYU3s

[h1]Really impressive and well made game 100% worth the $$$ 10/10 would recommend to everyone[/h1] Everything was just done right. I've played my fair share of shmups and this envisions those in a VR space perfectly. I was blown away by the quality and consider this game to be a hidden gem everyone should play. It offers plenty of options to make the game accessible to everyone including different difficulties, a thorough tutorial, and graphics settings. It has intense boss battles like you'd come to expect from shmups, and a lot going on as the levels/stages get more intense. I'm confident you won't regret getting this game. Even if you don't take my word for it, there's a demo you can try which gives a great idea of what the game is like. [u]Played on Valve Index with a Ryzen 7 3700X and RX 5700XT using default graphics settings and 120hz refresh rate with auto resolution scaling.[/u]

Ever wanted to pretend you're a Gundam pilot? Look no further. Fun shoot 'em up action in VR. Shoot, dodge, and upgrade. Easy to pick up and play and does require some degree of skill. It's lit.

Strike VR is a VR exclusive rail shooter (ho hum) with a sci-fi theme and remarkably low production values. It's not an asset flip, it's just bad. Fly on a rail and shoot stuff and pretend to dodge stuff, all in VR. I wonder why gamers overwhelmingly rejected this. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the mid 2000s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. 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 poor quality of this game is 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 2 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 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Strike VR is relatively cheap at $3 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. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b]Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

Fun for an hour or two, but pick it up on sale.
