CyberThreat

Ok, this game could be awesome, but they have a lot of work to do. It is not optimized at all. What I mean is I have 2 1080 TI graphics cards, and the game is still shaky. Lots of stuttering. The graphics seem decent, but they need to work on it. I can't recommend it as of now.

I keep coming back to this store page with the hopes that I'll be inspired to pick this game up again. I bought it about 4 months ago (~April 2018) and since then it doesn't look like any progress has been made. I returned the game after about 45min of gameplay because I could already tell it was going to be a game I play for maybe 2hrs and never pick up again. Which OK, is the price of a movie ticket these days almost, and so be it. But I returned it nonetheless with the intention I would pick it up again in the future after some updates.

Where are those updates?

Is this game dead?

What is the roadmap?

This was the first game where I actually felt like I was Iron Man or something similar. It's an awesome feeling. It just needs so much more. It needs a campaign. It needs a ranking system. It needs more variation and smarter A.I. It needs civilians and an environment that feels more alive. Maybe we could have a base to fly to for upgrades or some support/Co-op. There is a ton of potential here. If this game doesn't get out of early access then someone needs to copy these elements into a new game!

Goodluck Devs, I'll definitely keep checking back but it would be cool to know more about what you have planned, if anything?!

I wouldn't recommend this game for a few reasons. The game runs poorly and frame rate slows down a lot. The gun feel basic. For the pistol and rifle it's just an unlimited stream of ammo shooting from your guns. Enemy AI gets lost on map a lot, your AI squad sits back and does nothing. Although there's a lot of campaign missions, a lot of them feel too similar. Also the jetpack movement is very abrupt, really testing your vr legs.

I liked the game. For a while. The problem is that when I got more than an hour into it I started getting dropouts like crazy. There are TONS of moving 3D objects at a given time. I have a fast PC and a GTX 1070 but the screen just turned into a jumble. The stated requirement is a GTX 970, so.. I can't recommend it although it's a lot of fun while it lasts.

I can't recommend this in it's current status. The controls feel 'off ' and or mismatched toward movement and janky. It takes wayyyyy too much arm swing to move and the jumping swing does not always work. This often would be annoying, but worse than that I ended up clipping into buildings and walls and then would get stuck. It has a lot of potential, but ended up being way too frustrating to continue trying to fix or figure it out. I decided to refund it.

Very nice wave shooter with leader boards. A price of 10-15 bucks would be ok, but 20 is a little too much.

Jetpack and Motion Sickness

Overall...

Great experience in VR! A good example of what early access SHOULD be. It's got all the parts of the game separated and playable with new parts being added so they can integrate it all.

Sure, it's got some hiccups now and again, the buildings have a hard time keeping up sometimes for rendering when you're high up and traveling fast with the jetpack (running a 1080 and I7-6800K so I'm fairly sure it's not my setup) and you do get the occasional fade out to Vive, but beyond that everything is smooth and enjoyable.

As a caveat, the jetpack can be nausea inducing for some people that probably didn't think before they bought a VR set (duh...) so if you have a sensitive little tummy you might want to ... well, return your VR honestly and slap yourself, lol.

But, the game is good!

This is an amazingly fun shooter. The controls are dead simple, weapons are simple, there's no need to collect ammo or reload. There's no plot, there's nothing to stop you from doing what you want to do: shoot **** up in a VR city.

You can teleport nearly anywhere you'd like, then after a while the game unlocks the next level of freedom: the jetpack. Your playing field moves into 3D where there's lots of flying threats and shooters on rooftops to go with the ground troops. The controls are very intuitive and provide a nice balance between being able to perform any maneuver and getting lost midair. Of course it can get really nauseating, particularly if you turn your body mid-flight or try death-from-above drops, but even if you get sick you'll be glad you tried it.

I've just played it for 11 minutes and already this is easily my favorite VR game. It's the type of game I imagined in the mid-nineties when VR was all over movies, and it still seemed so far away.

The graphics are bland - doesn't matter.
The AI is basic - doesn't matter.
The guns are limited (so far) - doesn't matter.

It's so freakin fun to run around a few city blocks shooting at waves of enemies, going where you please, with unlimited ammo and absolutely no reloading. It's pure, unadulturated arcade fun, like the 90's never left and that same, original dream of VR actaully came to life.

The only issue I have so far is with performance. I have to turn the settings down very low to keep from getting nauseous while I play, and I'm running a 6700k with a GTX 1070. I don't care that the graphics are bland, but I feel like I shouldn't have to lower everything so far just to get a steady 90 frames. Additional graphics options would go a long way here, I feel. I really hope these issues get worked out soon, because I'd love to play the game at something other than it's lowest settings!

What a great game! In contrast to most other VR shooters, this one is open world - well in this case it's open city ;) That means there is no linear level, but a few blocks of a city, with roads, alleys, houses and roof tops. You can simply go everywhere, even into some houses. On the streets there are parked cars, that can be destroyed and you can take cover behind a lot of objects. Your enemies are flying drones and bipedal robots and all come in several types with different look and weapons. Your weapons are (as far as I discovered them) automatic pistols, automatic rifle and sniper rifle and using them feels good and a lot of fun! The game offers several game modes, but I tested only the first two: the missions and open world. In the missions you are give a specific task and after completion you are given the next one. In open world it's simply you in a city full of robots and you need to survive as long as possible. Although I haven't completed all of them yet, I enjoyed the missions very much!
But my absolute favorite part was the jet pack! A jet pack in VR can make a lot of people sick if done the wrong way. But in this game they did a perfect job! You can fly in any direction, have nice "dog fights" with the drones, attack the ground bound enemies (robots and spiders) and there is no motion sickness at all! I tend to feel motion sickness from all sorts of sliding movement, especially if it is accellerated or slowing down. This game makes it perfectly right: the speed of your movement only depends on the presure you put on your trigger finger, but there is no accelleration at all. So basically you move or you stop immediatly, which is not realistic as in air you would drift, but this way I can enjoy the game without any bad feelings in my stomach!

This is a great demo and the game has great potential. As the city will become more alive I think this will be a very cool experience. Feels like a game becaise there is just you and the odd bad guys. Could feel more real if there was more going on. Early days and a free demo. I had already bought it and still feel happy that they released the demo afterwards.

This game is simply fantastic. I am fairly new to gaming and VR but I am totally drawn into this world. It really gets your adrenalin flowing as well as making you sweat! I particularly enjoy the Open World scenario but I made the mistake of allowing my son to play also and he was way better than me. The trouble now is I don't know how to reset the game because my son's level of achievement is much higher than mine! If the developers are reading this, Please Help?
10/10 for a superb game.

I completely overlooked this game when it was released but today was my lucky day. This is definitely one of the better games I've played on the Vive and I’ve played nearly all of the top games

Fun and fast paced arcade like game (in terms of play). Essentially, you’re thrown in the middle of a city with limitless ammo. Run around, find power ups and health, and shoot the constant onslaught of bad guys (on foot and air).

I saw another reviewer complain of graphics issues but this game ran perfectly on max settings with latest i7, 16GB, and GTX 1080.

Looking forward to future developments on this one. This will be a killer game if multi-player is added.

To Date by far the best VR game I've played. It seems to most the offerings are companies sticking there toes in the water or just ttying to get something out there for people to spend bucks on as, lets face it, the offerings are lean. This one, so far, seems to be missing much of a story nut there is a lot of room to teleport around in and action can get crazy. The graphics arent anything to write home about but everything runs smoothly and I have the graphics set as high as possible (I7, gtx1080). It got my heart pumping.

To the developers: Good job!! Thanks for putting something worth it out there.

This game is currently the closest ting to a traditional FPS game you can get in VR. Move freely around the city and fight alone or alongside AI soldiers against rogue robotic AI units. Do not expect another AAA shooter from this, its still in early access and a little rough around the egdes. But its quite polished for early acess and is a lot of fun to play compared to most of the wave shooters and rail shooters currently around for VR. The game offers intense battles, freedom of movement (you can even get inside buildings and up on rooftops), cover based combat and environmental destruction. You really feel like as if you are at war.

If the developer creates more of a narrated storyline, team vs team PVP multiplayer (and perhaps a coop mode) in the future this game will be awesome!

I will start off by saying yes this game has optimisation issues. That being said this game is pretty amazing, you can teleport all around the city even up on top of buildings.There seems to be plenty of content right of the bat as well. The battles are pretty intense as the robots are sharpshooters who know where your gonna pop out from when you try to flank them and the drones are 100 times faster than spt. I like the direction the devs are going with this game. If they can get the optimisation fixed and maybe tweak the sniper rifle this game will be awesome. Oh one more thing, the environmental destruction is really cool. $20 is a great price if they can get this thing running great.

2ND UPDATE - Dead development... Don't bother heaps better out there


Update -
Dev was quick to release performance boost patches. Now it quite playable on a 1080. If they could just tweak it a little further it would be smooth as butter.





Only one reason you would buy this game for now. To help dev and get it cheaper.

In its current first release state it's very raw. Needs a ton of work. Can't even begin to steer dev until he has the game running a lot smoother and just all the obvious bugs. Saying that I'm not going to refund as I know this is a game I'm going to love to play when it's finished. I will be waiting with baited breath for updates on this one!

One thing I do know. This headset is costing me a lot in games as I want to play everything.

Just spent some time playing around in the game, and it looks very promising. I like the scale, the buildings look tall, it's fun to get up on top and teleport between rooftops.

Couple things -
- The game needs some optimization. I ended up dropping the graphics down to "fast" or even "fastest" due to stuttering when a lot of enemies are present. To give you an idea of this, my PC uses an i7-4790K CPU and a GTX1080. I would also suggest adding in a setting to lower detail around the edges of the screen, if your engine allows it (Similar to what Raw Data does, so you can have better graphics, but they drop in detail at the edge).

- Please also consider adding in volume controls. It would be nice to be able to turn music down, but leave SFX turned up, for example. The simple options may just be due to being an early build of the game though.

Overall, I like the game and really look forward to updates, and if you add multiplayer, it would really be a blast. I think your sales will also improve by leaps and bounds if you can add in multiplayer. I may not play this a lot right now, just because optimization is still needed to run the game smoothly.

--Update after some game patches --
Played a few more missions today, and since the updates it's much smoother. When I first played this, I had to leave graphics on lowest setting. Today I had it bumped up to max graphics and it was playable at that setting (GTX1080 GPU). I do get some frame rate stutter still on highest graphics when a lot is going on, but at least it's doing much better. Bear in mind I'm maxing the game out at this point. Originally I couldn't even play ten seconds at this setting, now I can go 3-4 missions and I feel ok. I may bump the graphics down a notch or two for smoothest gameplay, but I'm happy to see the progress made on this already.

Its ok. Another wave shooter atleast with freedom of movement but game looks pretty hashed together quickly. For some people wondering on the gun sounds in the trailer the guns dont sound like that ingame, there fine. They sound normal. Got bored quickly just because Im not really into wave shooters but if you are this is pretty good. Still needs lots of work.

Unbelievable. It could use a little bit of optimization but this is taking it to another level. If I had to compare to it anything so far it would be Raw Data. You can go into buildings, on the roof, stick your gun out of windows to shoot...Ok, I'm going back into play. I haven't tried anything other than Open Word mode...Yes, you heard that correctly. No MP yet, but if it comes, this is going to be ridiculous. Love this so far. Edit - I'm running this on an overclocked Titan Black and 4770k and can play it on Good. I do get a little bit of juddering but it's very playable still. I'm sure it'll improve so please don't trash this game. It's a chance at something really special once they release an update. Multiplayer would be amazing.
