Outpost L5 is an older game from 2016. It's a venerable 9 years old at the time of this review. It's an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Space Invaders (Copyright Taito, 1978). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Taito against the "developer" here, but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown. Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Outpost L5 is considerably worse than Space Invaders. The only differentiator here is that it's in VR from a first person perspectic (so the aliens are coming in at you on a flat plane?? Makes no sense...

About This Game
Space Invaders in VR
Outpost L5 is a planet defense game in virtual reality. Control a base at the Lagrange point L5, near Earth. It's the last surviving battle station and you are in control of its remaining ships that stand between Earth and the Armada of Invading Aliens.
Tackle wave upon wave of the ever advancing enemy as they get closer and closer to the station. If they capture it, Earth is next. Hold out as long as you can.
Find Power Ups, Enhanced Weapons, Shields and even Extra Ships, but they won't last long, so use them wisely.
This classic arcade space shooter set in VR for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift and will remind you of early 8 bit shooters. In first person virtual reality, it brings a refreshing change to the old school arcade game.
Climb to the top of the Steam High Score Leader Board and Defend Earth.
Or it will be....
