Showed promise 8 years ago. Unfortunately the last update was 5 years ago. Game is abandon-ware.

I will use this review to tell you that this game is unfinished and has not been worked on in 5 years. Alternatively, I can point you to ancient dungeon VR which is a very similar game with more challenge and way better dungeon varieties, secrets, customizations. It's a bit less charming because it's voxel but it feels like you're playing Zelda dungeons with a difficulty turned up. It has a new update as of 2025 that adds co-op four player and the devs are actively still developing for the game. So, get ancient dungeon VR, not this unfinished game that should be removed from the store. That is all.

Less of a game, more just a frustrating experience. The dungeon design is okay but so much of the games potential is lost by poor mechanics and an overall aversion to fun. The enemies are varied but boring and unresponsive, some are melee-based and pretty much charge at you until you're dead, attacks can be blocked with a shield if you're willing to halve your damage but good luck getting enough damage in as a ranged character to kill the bunch of 3 armoured goblins before they kill you. The randomisation of the dungeon maps means you can get a miniboss that'll kill you before you get the first hit in, no consideration from the game to help you if you're on low health by changing the spawns.

Some weapons are far more viable than others, but upgrading is entirely random, look forward to repeatedly getting weapons you're never going to use because they have literally zero potential.

The adaptability of the game is minimal and pigeonholes you into the most basic of play styles, I found the melee tedious so I tried playing with dual pistols which rarely shot where I wanted and barely dented health bars. Contrast this to the game 'In death' where ranged combat is thought out and rewarding. The mage is also unbearably slow and comes with so many drawbacks that it wasn't worth playing.

It seems to be that the developers fundamentally don't understand that games are meant to be fun, no-one is going to bother to play a game that actively chooses the most boring option.

There's also a 'secret' spider boss that would have been interesting to fight if it wasn't so unbalanced. Using the barrels on the cave ceiling let you knock it down and damage it, but the barrels don't respawn so you're out of luck if your weapons don't do enough damage to kill it before they run out.

I got this game a long time ago. Probably 2017. It was pretty fun at the time. It had networked co-op, which was nice. As it was EA and I wanted to see how it would develop, it sat in my library. I was clearing out some games I meant to revisit, and figured I'd come back to this to see what happened.

The game has changed a lot since I first played. It's much better now. A lot more going on now and more weapons, which is cool. While the game has some bugs, nothing game breaking. It's clearly abandonware at this point, which is a shame, because I can see where they were going with it and it had a lot of potential.

Since it's abandonware, I unfortunately am going to give it the ol' thumbs down. There isn't enough in it to make it worth playing in it's present state. Hopefully that isn't the case and I'll get a chance to come back and change my review.

Fun to play fantasy VR.

Abandoned by developer, full of bugs, enemies and even the player can easily fall through the floor. Multiplayer is unstable. Weapon handling is janky.

Game was abandoned by the devs.

Abandonware. Don't buy.

The game is dead, broken and abandoned
Last update was in February 2020

fun game would love to see a fully functional multiplayer mode made right now nobody is looking for co-op games if anyone else is playing and multiplayer does not seem stable as my game started to lag a lot after turning it on. restarting the game fixed the lag but yeah not really multiplayer at all. no idea if this game is still being developed but its fun even if it never gets functional multiplayer.

Really fun, a great example of how simple fun gameplay trumps unpolished graphics. There is little variety in room layouts, enemy types and strategy but it's fun to consistently return to for a few runs. Probably 1 of 3 VR exclusive titles I actually enjoyed and returned to consistently.

Melee combat is responsive, and while enemies use only one or two canned combat animations, combat feels accurate, and feels better than it looks.

The game also runs totally buttery smooth with zero issues for me, something that's unsaid about every other full VR title I've ever tried.

This is an honest gem of a game. Not many out there in VR that have aged well, this one is perfectly simple... and uniquely in depth. Working with the armor sets is enjoyable. Combat is straight forward and easy to grasp and the weapons are easy to figure out, with ample places to practice with them. If you understand RPGs you will understand this game. Depending on the setup you use.... you can even get a bit of cardio in. I hope to see more some day... sad this didn't take off.... its worthy.

Hidden gem here. Gameplay is really fun, the blocking mechanics are a bit telegraphed, but some enemies will come swinging. Tons of different gameplay styles and options. Definitely roguelite, so you'll be treading procedural ground, but worth every penny if you're into that style of game.

Dang I wish this game was still supported. It was a fantastic idea with a lot of fun content. Don't buy it now though as there are game breaking bugs and have been for years. I believe the game was abandoned right as it hit its stride.

Typical.... Just another waste of money. I am sick and tired of buying indie games that keep getting abandoned. This is the last straw, no more buying indie or early access games anymore. Enough is enough.
