Quell 4D

TL/DR: Quell 4D is a yes from me. If you are a fan of Doom/Duke Nukem style shoot-em-up games, you will love this. PROS: - The art style is very retro. No highres textures here! - The game looks nice and crisp. It runs smoooooth as butter. - Sound/Music are awesome. A throwback to the 80's and 90's style. Nice touch. - The shotgun. I love this effing weapon. It feels/sounds meaty and does what it’s supposed to do. CONS: - Movement system needs to be worked on. My arm got tired pretty quickly. Having to hold your arm out for extended periods of time can tire some people out. Final words: With a few tweaks, this game could be an instant classic. You won’t regret this purchase. Overall 9/10 EDIT (10/18): I removed a con. The developer quickly fixed the sight issues and now my shots are landing cleanly! Thanks!

Very stylized Doom-esque shooter, but I can't recommend it. The locomotion system is terrible. You either use a carrot on a stick or use the touch pad, but it's too wonky to move a consistent pace like when you're strafing or backtracking. Overall really cool game, but the controls ruin the entire experience. I'm baffled as to why they just can't do a simple fix to make it like Serious Sam: First Encounter VR... Afterall, it came from the same roots as that game.

Highly recommended. Quell 4D might just be the first fully released (non wave) fps on the Vive. The simple colourful graphics work surprisingly well, giving the game a very distinct style that works together with the music and sound effects to pull you into this surreal world. The gameplay is very reminiscint of Doom or Wolfenstein 3D, with a heavy emphasis on moving and dodging over taking cover during combat. The levels are also rather complex, often seeming much larger than they are with clever keycard placement and triggers making the most of the levels. And with the simple graphics as they are, there is a surprising variety in the levels. I do feel the game lost a lot of it's steam towards the end with levels getting longer and more complex, but without a checkpoint system, death becoming far more frustrating, and rage quits more common. The game is not perfect and perhaps this is the biggest issue it has. It aims to be a hardcore shooter like the FPS of yore, but what it seem...

Finally a developed Vive game that doesn't rely on teleportation. This uses graphics very similar to Wolfenstein 3D or Doom, but with garish colors (actually pretty smart, it hides the fresnel lens artifacts that the vive is prone to), and it works. Fun little fps shooter.

This is an absolutely must play game if you like FPSes, especially classic FPSes like Doom. Seriously I love this game as much as Superhot VR and this game seems criminally underrated. You feel like such a badass in this game, and it gives you a stiff challange. If you are looking for a full game rather than a 30 minute tech demo, then this is your game. Watch my hourly count go up as I keep playing this.

https://youtu.be/49Ouj1ghktM Wow. A real game for VR... Who knew it could be done... Not most developers unfortunately. Thankfully though Rubycone wasn't one of them and put together a very retro FPS that plays like one of the classics you grew up with. It really feels like we're living through the video game eras all over again only vastly accelerated. Hopefully Quell 4D will do for VR what Doom 3D did for PC gaming. The characters and voice acting remind me of StarFox on the SNES. Ahh the golden days... Quell 4D manages to be both nostalgic and new at the same time. It's a perfect blend of concepts that worked then and introducing them to the tech of now. What we get is a great FPS title that proves we can have real games in VR. Thank you Rubycone. Honestly and sincerely, thank you. Carrot on a Stick Locomotion: This is a new one for me and it worked out pretty well. It's similar to onward style motion but you're pressing a trigger to lock you into moving the direction you're...

WOW...what a game!! You are Mr. Murderman, a cold blooded killer riding a huge yellowish snail which is on a "kill-em all" mission. The movement system is really original: you pull the trigger on your not dominant controller in any direction in order to lower a carrot that makes your snail move towards it. It feels like the original castle wolfenstein, doom or duke nukem, the trick for staying alive is keep moving while shooting. The game is also a bit splatter which I really like, the graphics are also very clean and nice. I'm playing with an amd r9 390 oc together with a i5 2500k @4.5GHz, I only had some slowdown issues in a very crowded mission but it was totally playable. In all my VR experience, I think this is the only game that can be defined a real COMPLETE game, not a demo or somehow unfinished: it's totally worth your 20 euros. Have fun

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! that sums it up pretty much. I am very prone to motion sickness so I was concerned that the movment was going to make me sick. The developer did a great job with this and after playing for 30 mins straight I felt fine. If you like the old style wolfenstein 3d or doom this game is definitely for you, you get put into that VR world. I defintely recommend this game and it is definitely worth the pricetag and there arent too many games out there for the VIVE that I can say that about. As you progress the game gets more and more challenging so I see it taking quite a while to beat this game.

Just watch the trailer and be aware the game delivers what it promises. It's a real FPS with a really good free control scheme (not teleporting). It works great but i wouln't reccomend those prone of motion sickness. For the others i would say is almost a must buy atm. Has some reminescenses of Wolf 3D and Duke Nukem. Enjoy.

This is an old school Doom/Wolfenstien type shooter made for VR. I am 2hrs in and feel at this point the content justifies the price tag. Bear in mind this game does NOT have teleport mechanics, so if you have issues with Onward-type movement I would approach with caution. I've felt a-ok 100% of the time playing Quell. Tired of wave shooters? Try this. Ride around on a slime beast and blast everything but your rooster buddy in half. Completion edit: I beat this game in 5.3hrs and everything above still holds true. Quell 4D is worth the price of admission and then some - buy it and see for yourself.
