The idea behind the game is cool but the balancing isn't there yet, and you'll be forced to read a lot of things in VR before you get started. Movement is controlled solely by pointing your hands in the direction you wish to move and then using a "booster." You keep sliding after you let go of the booster, which takes a lot of getting used to. This, along with a lot of unexpected freefalling, made me pretty queasy, despite hours and hours of VR under my belt. Another issue is that there is an inability to slide along any object you come in contact with, which means that you will inevitably run into an enemy attempting to shoot them and will get stuck on them and they will all shoot you relentlessly until you die trying to unstick yourself. This game would benefit massively from a traditional thumb stick and jetpack *option* for controls, as well as slower enemy projectiles so you actually have a chance to dodge them while you're learning the game. It would also benefit a lot from so...

FAQs
If I have an Oculus headset, do I have to play using SteamVR?
Nope! The game includes a launch option to play using the Oculus SDK which is what I would recommend if you have an Oculus headset.
Why is the game so hard?
I want the game to be difficult but fair. Your first few runs might be rough, but I hope you'll ultimately find the challenge satisfying once you master the game's mechanics.
What do you mean "roguelite"?
Hand Cannon Virtuoso is a roguelite in the sense that it features:
Permadeath: If you die, you need to start climbing from the bottom of the tower.
Out-Of-Run Progression: Even though you have to start from the bottom of the tower after death, you will still unlock rewards that persist across climbs such as new cards you can use during runs.
Procedural Content: Each time you climb, the sequence of encounters you need to fight through will change.
Will this game make me motion sick?
I do my best to prevent motion sickness but the game's locomotion is pretty fast-paced. If you have concerns, I'd suggest trying the game and refunding if it doesn't work for you.

User Reviews
So first the pros I really love how difficult this game is I love it and hate it at the same time. (in a good way of course) I would recommend this game to almost everyone. Also I know people are complaining about movement but I personally really like it. But hey if you don't like hard games and don't want to get better that's your choice. But now for a couple of cons. So first is that the levels difficulty varies which even on floor one which I like but you'll be running into the same environments almost every time. (also dev if you are reading this I already know you are working on that) But hey you have a real gem here and right now it is my second favorite vr game to play. P.S there is an infinite height glitch that you can do by spamming the dash button in the air. (also its me the guy from Reddit I told you I would buy it)
Game is fun. Dev is nice.
