HORIZON VANGUARD

A challenging schmup that wants to scratch your Panzer Dragoon itch.

This game is pretty damn cool. Has a sort of Sega Saturn type feel with a bit of Star Fox. I recommend it. One criticism to the Devs: As some have said you don't regen shields after each zone, but after playing 23 minutes I unlocked 2 continue credits after backing out which I'm guessing takes place of shield regen. Just start us out with some continues or regen our shields after each zone. On first playthrough you legit can't get far not because of skill, but because you don't have the continues. That's not a good type of grind (even though its hardly any grind, just give us them). It's like forced stale progression when you first start out. Other than that its pretty cool. Got to the 3rd zone with zero credits. I'll see how far I can get with 2 now. Btw there is an option to start at and play zones you've reached, but they won't count towards your score or Intel unlocks. Intel unlocks are hidden in zones and unlock alternate routes kind of like Star Fox on N64 and its al...

Late to the party here but this is an instant classic. Feels like a 90's Sega arcade prototype. Works perfectly with M&KB or controller. Great for score chasing. Love it!

If you're not a fan of older arcade quarter munchers you might not be a good fit for this one - the completion rate for the first and 2nd boss is 50% then 16% - but if the idea of playing a light gun and shmup at the same time seems rad you'll likely dig it. Thankfully the difficulty is partially mitigated by being able to practice zones you've reached with unlimited continues before attempting a run from the start. I also found I had better luck dodging using the radar for a few seconds to figure out the boss's patterns versus staring at it during the fight. The tutorial could probably use to spell out some of the slightly less obvious mechanics like some enemies being immune to pistol shots, or what the colored circles around incoming shots indicate, and having shots from behind hit can be a bit annoying in a couple spots, but overall it's a lot of fun.

This is an arcade style game that plays very similar to games like Starfox (SNES/N64) and draws inspiration from the likes of Gradius and Space Harrier. Being an arcade game, it is very difficult and relies on repetition for you to start clearing levels. The game absolutely nails the art style, music and pacing of those arcade games, with a good amount of polish. It is super fun to play, and mastering it will take you a long time!

These devs get it. High-octane shooter gameplay, flawless performance, great style, super smooth blend of genres, and probably the best shooting experience I've had outside of an arcade. If you enjoyed Virtual Cop, Hang On, Wave Race, Time Crisis, or even Touhou you'll love this game. Buy a copy for your friends.

A bullet hell arcade style VR game with awesome music. Freakin dope. Fair warning though the game does pose a bit of a challenge but that's part of the fun. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for something to expand your VR library.

Exceptionally hard and very good VR interpretation of both shmups and on-rails shooter. Only been able to unlock a few zones so far, but it's a blast! The mechanic of looking down on your bike to see a top down view of the playfield to more easily dodge bullets is genius, and simultaneously blasting ground enemies with the bike and lining up pistol shots feels amazing. Runs smooth and My one complaint is that II wish there was a mechanic to hold down a button or trackpad on the movement controller to slow my speed to more easily dodge dense patterns. Will be playing it more!

Its like SNES Starfox in VR. Super fun, challenging, and addictive. Logged on to play something else, but can't put it down!

Definitely a tough and enjoyable arcade like game where it feels like your deaths are your fault.
