Cargo Cult: Shoot'n'Loot VR

Well this was disappointing... https://youtu.be/efRrOso1tIE Cargo Cult was supposed to be a loot based shooter like Void Rangers. At least that's what I thought. It presents itself as a loot based game IMO but admittedly the Steam page does mention upgrades and unlocks. So part of the fault is mine for making assumptions. The good: I liked the steampunk look. The minigun looked and felt great. The music really fit the world. Very light and whimsical. Butchering Donkey Kong and his family for their lunch money! The not so good... I don't really know what was missing, just that there was some sound cue that wasn't there. Probably enemy attacks and some flight noises especially when enemies were off screen. It's very distracting to not have those sound cues that you would expect. It could also have been that the BGM was so loud that it drowned those other sounds out. The desktop audio is - 15 db and I've got a + 7 db gain on my mic audio and there are still times I'm getting dr...

-The enemies can shoot at you through the bottom of your ship -The enemies don't have any sound effects (hard to know when they're shooting at you) -There's aim assist...you're using one of the most advanced pointing devices on the planet, and there's aim assist... -The game claims that there are more levels to come, yet it's not in Early Access? -At the end of the last level, after collecting tons of coins, you don't get to use any of them... -There are random roller coaster type movements (fast changes in speed and direction) just to make sure you feel nauseous.

Hard game. Would like the option to remove the big blue box. It's kind of obvious where to stand

great fun , arcade style , great graphics . looks and plays awesome

This is an "on-rails wave shooter" set in a flying pirate steampunk ship. Enemies fly around 180 degrees in front of you and the VR environment is partially destructible. You collect coins from defeated enemies, chests, and destroyed environments/creatures. You spend those coins to upgrade your weapons or defenses or to heal. You start with only one weapon and one shield in each hand and you can also jump. The only powerup is a health kit you need to shoot first and also touch to get the healing effect. The graphics are great, if cartoonish. But they really fit well with the steampunk motif this game was going for. Enemies looked nice as well. The destructible enviroments were also well done. There's about 25 waves. And I believe there's three boss fights. The first boss is terribly easy. However, without upgrades, I doubt the average gamer can finish the game. But with just a few upgrades, the game becomes boringly easy. Game ran smoothly. Aiming seemed true (although ...

I'm sure this is a good game but I just couldn't get into it. The game looked really cool and really fun but for me it just felt too 'meh', there wasn't really any wow factors to work from.
