I WANT TO PET THE WORM
Play this in VR and feel like you're hacking a megacorp's cybernet and punching through their ICE. It's great!
very groovy
The gameplay feels like fruit ninja with power abilities with different obstacles. I find the art direction unique and similar to Thumper. I wouldn't call it a rhythm game where you hit notes on the beat, but following the flow of the music within the gameplay. I find the gameplay easier with mouse than it is for VR and Controller, even though the game is made with VR in mind for more immersion. There is a time mode (complete as fast as you can) and + mode (higher difficulty, more precision), which I find playing with a mouse is beneficial for accuracy when doing + mode. The music and theme for each world is distinctive enough to where it feels like a different experience from the previous world along with learning new tech mechanics for each new approaching world. Overall, I like the new feel of a wavy hypnotic flow from the Thumper game.
感谢双语鉴赏组提供的这次关于《Thrasher》评测的机会。 《Thrasher》是一款经典街机类游戏,由《Thumper》的美术与作曲团队打造,我们在游戏中化身为太空巨鳗,搭配动感的音乐配合强劲的节奏,游走在这个光怪陆离,在这个看似十分邪典的世界,使用俯冲、突进、猛抽,使用独特的环绕机制操作巨鳗打破重重障碍,叠加层层连击,触发连击,对战神秘的庞然大物从而获得更高的分数。这里需要玩家在最短的时间内完成相应地图的任务要求,当然有时候还会出现各种障碍物,这时候就考研玩家的反应能力。 游戏拥有9个世界,27关供你挑战,每个世界和boss都各不相同,并且《Thumper》支持多个平台随心畅玩,PC、VR和Steam Deck都能游玩体验,让你拥有不一样的打击体验。 [code]双语评测,认准我们: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]双语评测[/url] Make Chinese and English speaker feel at home: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]Bilingual Curator[/url][/code]
It's not Thumper — there are no rhythm and no feeling of constant high-speed motion forward. Instead it's something like bite-sized mouse pointer agility challenges. When played in VR, it feels like you casting spells from your wand, and I don't if any other VR game offer this kind of gameplay. Art and music are stellar, as expected.
It's good.
Fruit ninja but cooler and VR compatible. Is it good? Meh. Is it thumper? Nope. Is it worth the asking price? Maybe on sale. Not refunding it but it's fine enough.
An underwhelming experience. The gameplay isn't particularly interesting, and doesn't serve to immerse you in the experience quite like Thumper did.
thumbs up. zone out, fight bosses and rack up your best combos in this mega pretty precision aim / cursor movement game! controls feel great, psychedelic as hell, VR mode included
