Xion

The building phase is very buggy but otherwise this is probably the coolest shoot em up i've played in a long time.

I'll be using this game as an intro into VR as its concepts are easy to grasp. My ship blew up from full health to 0. Not really sure why that is happening. It may be that my tracking was lost and the ship shifted, or maybe the ship blows up if a component is broken. I would like a reason given for the loss of the round. I ran into issues with ship building, however the 'undo last' and 'reset ship' allowed me to get past issues where you can place a part in the same spot and it charges you again. The game allows you to continue in a casual mode after death and that is why I'm keeping this game as recommended.

Enjoyable 3rd person? shooter. your controller becomes the ship, your other hand has the ability to pickup powerups and add them to your ship. You earn points that can be spent in making your ship better with almost any configuration you want to build, that adds a bit to the tactician in you, but id appreciate having prebuild ships or being able to save some basic configurations. Its a "bullethell" kinda game where you will be shot from everywhere, there are quite a few different enemies, and some of their attacks are different. Overall the performance was good, as expected with the voxel kinda graphics. Easy to recommend if you get it in a bundle or during a sale.

For now i can not recommend this game. Sure it has a lot potential sure. Things that bug me the most: -The levels are not destructable. Just some small parts and only sometimes. -The ship has indirect controlls. Means you have a delay when you move it. -The wall at the end that "spawns" the level is to close in my opinion. -Only a view enemy types with no soul. -lots of missing sounds I don´t know. The game can become good and i will change my review if it does in the future. What i like to see: -Take the pressure out and make the level move slower if enemys are there. Or make it stop until the enemys are cleared. -Make the levels destructable -Give me free movement without delay. I know some cores are build around it but give me a shild or something instead. -The level barrier is to close. I am open to talk about it so hit me for questions. -review will get updated -

Very cool arcade style game. Unique VR experience compared to most others. I've had this game for quite a while, and was disappointed with the EA game... I wasn't sure if it was going to turn out well... but it did. Valve Labs gave us a basic VR Asteroids arcade game with Xortex, and Zenz has given us a fully realized Zaxxon like VR game with Xion. Nice. Fun unique VR arcade game. Thumbs up.

This is a fun little retro blast and I come back to it more often than most VR mini-games, seems to keep getting better with time too!

I think the important tag here is : Old School. Because this is a VR version of Zaxxon.
