It's my first owned VR-game - and, actually, after the first 4 levels I don't regret buying it in the slightest. Really, it's a really fun, and quite fast-paced, experience. The bots are flying around, gun (or guns) blazing, power-ups and all the needed stuff. And the bosses - they are really fun. So, I think it's worth it's cost, totally.

About This Game
In days gone by, people could only imagine their perfect worlds. Today, all of humanity can live within its dreams. But dreams sometimes turn into nightmares.
THE STORY
The year is 2046. Virtual reality is omnipresent. It’s a perfect shelter from life’s hardships - a fully immersive experience. It’s not hard to wonder why some people spend almost all of their life logged into VR.However, not everyone stays connected voluntarily. Occasionally, a software bug or even a virus can prevent a VR user from disconnecting. To save face while extracting the Stuck, corporations often hire freelance hackers that can enter the client’s neural session and reboot it.
Those hackers call themselves Divers. Thomas Hall is one of them, and he’s up for an odd job.
KEY FEATURES
- We must go deeper – Engaging story with interesting characters, which unfolds as you “Dive” into a virtual reality program of a future world to save a user that is stuck, and to battle the unforeseen causes of that glitch.
- Fast-paced action – Become a living bullet hell for your enemies. Blow them to pieces, crush them against the walls, evade or block their shots. The core mechanics are easy to grasp, but using them to the fullest against all the threats will be a challenge.
- Arcade play mode – Become the best cyberspace diver out there by achieving a high score in the separate arcade mode. Choose from three different difficulty levels, kill drones in a quick succession and shoot incoming bullets to gain combo points.
- Slow motion power – Freeze time to a halt when you need breathing space. You can take down lots of drones at once, dodge bullets or check that no one’s attacking you from the side.
- Multifunctional pistol – Gather power-ups from killed enemies to temporary arm yourself with dual blasters and transform your cyber weapons into various more powerful modes, such as a laser or a plasma gun.
- Various levels – Virtual reality is vast. You will see radically different and gorgeous environments, from claustrophobic and dark to enormously big and bright. Level structure shapes the gameplay.
- Hordes of droids – Enemies are numerous in quantity and type. Each one behaves differently and demands a change in combat tactics. Uniquely challenging bosses await at the end of each level.
UPDATE 2.0 CONTENTS
- Removed StarForce DRM – The game can now be installed on as many machines as you would like.
- Introduced destructible level elements – Blast through enemy cover and leave a trail of destruction as you progress through the game.
- Added the “Survival” game mode – Fight against hordes of enemies and try to survive for as long as you can.
- Miscellanous – Made various small improvements to performance.
The world you’re in may be virtual, but the consequences of its infection can alter all of humanity.
Dive in and stop the invaders!

Amazing game, graphic look like 'back in 80'th', i like it, but i not found any one dinosaurus))). Sound good. Shielde with slomo effect interesting fiature. Developers please add light siber for close combat and make menu in 80'th style. 8/10
Nice little game, reminded me of oldschool shoot'em up wave-shooters. I wish there was survival mode, though.
This game is so unfinished. Cheap copy of "Space pirate trainer", with horrible animations, and awful sound fx. Played for 2 levels, and already bored with it. When i tried to "alt-f4" from "it" - i couldn't. So after i've opened task manager - i laughed hard, because the task was named "unreal engine". So.. Save your money, don't buy it. p.s. sorry for my english (not my native)
Nice VR game
So there will be lots of comparisons to Space Pirate Trainer and this game. However, truthfully, although both games have several things in common, they play completely different. They are both wave shooters. They both have flying droids. Both have a gun and a shield. Both play 180 degrees in front of you. That's pretty much where all similarities end. VR Invaders is a story driven game. Now, I get it. It's hard to shoehorn a decent story into a flying drone wave shooter. But I like what they did in this game. The flat 2D cut scenes are a nice break from all the action in between. They are not too long and although they are not the best cutscenes ever, they do a nice job of giving the player a rest and it's an okay story. The main difference is the way to approach VR invaders. There are very spottable, enemy flying patterns. So you can face the right direction and shoot them down, reminiscent of Galaga. And use the shield to cover your six. The other big difference ...
I played this game start to finish, it's about a 2 hour experience. I actually thought it was very good: paid $10 on the steam sale and it was definitely worth it. PROs -great visuals -weapons "feel" great -the bullet time mechanic is fun and key to the game -good use of dodge/ crouch -fun bosses -different "levels" for variety and even som edestructable environments . -polished experience overall CONs -not that long -story isn't mind blowing but it's not exactly weak by VR standards In regards to other reviewers comments/ criticisms: -the voice acting seemed fine (some said it was poor), it was even pretty good for most of the game. -the story isn't mind blowing but there IS a story with a possible sequel as this appears to be thbe first chapter in a series. -at least one reviewer complained that the smaller enemies are "simple" and have "galaga like patterns". Some do, while some move reactively. I felt overall it reminded me of Starfox with the use of enemy and boss patter...
I like the feeling of this game. Mostly this type of games is roughly unpolished but this one is really well-done. I like the akimbo double pistols and fantastic bullet-time. This game have a progression chapter line and it's really fun because of most of VR games unfortunately is only for one run and abandon. I hope developers are reading my post and will make a multiplayer challenge mode, I think it would really rock!)))
this is one of the best VR wave shooters around Well worth your time and money Just be sure to turn the story mode off at the start options as it's just a load of talking during the game that gets annoying. Highly recommended!
Absolutely wonderful gameplay, a great polished wave shooter, totally worth the money!
