AcidPunk : Echoes of Doll City

well. its weird and trippy AND CURRENTLY HAS NO ROOM SCALE SUPPORT!! yes, allow that to sink in for a sec. to be fair, the game SAYS SO IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX. the game itself is unapologetically (rightfullly so) CYBERPUNK! the devs definitly got the immersion right on that score. the music is great and fits. the tutorial of sorts is interesting because you sort of just learn as you go at this point which makes gameplay seem comepletely disjointed. the levels are blocked out as well in the main menu board with only level 0 out of 10 being selectable. i dont know if they only unlock in sequetial order or" ITS COMING" like roomscale VR? the games trippy i cant tell you a premise cause there doesnt seem to be one, but i WOULD RECOMMEND. that level 0 board however is a MAJOR FRAMRATE ISSUE AREA but when you walk up to the door to go to level 1 i believe it evens out coniderrably. weird/ trippy. but interesting. UPDATE; so ive literally just played this after the updates and GODDAM...

If you had a time machine and took a full VR development kit back to the late 1980s, and you turned it over to a bunch of Amiga demo scene coders and told them to make a Cyberpunk-themed VR game, and then you gave them a good supply of LSD to trip on while they work. . . Doll City Prologue would be the result. I suggest taking off your shirt when playing, so you can feel the cords trailing down the back of your neck. It's that kind of game.

This is one of my favorite Vive games and a great showcase for VR having some of the best 3D design I've seen in a game yet along with great special effects. It's certainly unusual but refreshing as it's unlike any game I've played before. Even better now it has the Vive controller enabled levels ... just waiting for the devs to add more. Great work guys, can't wait for the next update. Highly recommended!

A very cool not only game, but experience in VR. It's a very cerebral and emersive game that get's my approval. The developer seems to also be dedicated to imroving the experience as well which I truely appreciate. Final note the game also runs really well in VR with no drops in performance from what I've seen. If you have a rift I think it's a worthy buy if you like cyberpunk.

Amazing visuals, why can't every VR game look like this? Hopefully the devs deliver on the update, because the game does need more story. But for the sale price this game is worth it.

One of the most psychedelic VR experiences I've had, and I've tried them all! (including SoundSelf, MicrodoseVR, Space Dream VR, Rez Infinite, Thumper, etc.) There's so much to say. First off, this "game" isn't complete. It's less than Alpha status right now, meaning that gameplay mechanics aren't in place. That said, the developers are certainly working on a game... there's too much attention to detail for them not to be toiling away at building this world. The art direction is *brilliant*. I haven't seen art direction this good since Metroid came out for Gamecube. I think it's an apt comparison because an indie title like this simply can't compete with the man-hours it takes to make something absolutely gorgeous, like God of War 4. I picked this up on sale for $7.49, over a year ago. Only now is it worth the $7.49 I paid for it. Even if it never becomes a real game, just marveling at the world they've created is worth your $7.49 -- I'm hesitant to recommend $15 at this point, howe...

1st VR game I ever baught, has improved a lot since, don't have it yet? Get it!

played this game and loved it the emersion is great its a lot diffrent then any game you will ever play vr or otherwise but for some reason i get stuck the game wont let me advance forward i keep jumping to get to next level in the what looks like a tower under construction with a bunch of rings you have to transport to to go up. But for some reason no matter how much i jump it wont let me jump on the next platform to complete level thought it was me but everyone who plays that level gets stuck plus been a while for updates still needs alot of work but has great potential.

Abandonware.

A+ It's early access and has minute bugs here & there but the devs care & are consistently fixing issues with every update. You can tell this is a passion project and it's their baby. And thank God! We've NEEDED this game to do the [cyberpunk] genre justice since VR's inception and to my opinion most all have missed the mark until Doll City. I've had this game since May 2020 and wanted to wait until I had some valuable time in it to see what the devs would do over time before I wrote a review. And HOLY F**KING 'ISH! Doll City is my VR drug! It's 100%! immersive, trippy, psychedelic, sexy. grimy, industrial, and addictive. Great aesthetic, music, and style. Gameplay needs a little twerking but has majorly improved since I first strapped on back in May. I hope the guys at GaelDK keep building this and move on to bigger and better cyberpunk projects for this is not only the foundation of something amazing, this game is the foundation of what Cyberpunk in VR is and should be. Thank you ...
