SO MUCH FUN WITH FRIENDS. Highly recommend playing this with a few buddies via Remote Play Together. Special thank you to the developers for making such a fun VR party game. Very well made AND works seamlessly on my laptop which has a 1660 ti.
Please give this title a shot!
I love this game and it works great with Meta Quest 2 but i do not have a Valve Index. I think that everyone should play it. :)
Game is really fun especially with the wife and kids. Looks like dev support has stopped. Customizing rules with notepad doesnt seem to work and the matches go by way to fast. Really fun concept of a game with many laughs!
The UI is not always intuitive and some game modes needs balancing (tanks are too OP) but it's a fun game and Ididn't encounter any bug
Definitely worth picking up! Family friendly and surprisingly fun. Admittedly, I had low expectations due to the simplistic visuals however the game truly delivers on the fun factor. It reminded me a bit of Rampage where you can just destroy everything! Younger kids will absolutely love this. There are several modes and ways to customize the rules, settings etc. It’s not perfect- ape escape mode could be improved with better hiding spots. On death match, inverted flight controls should be locked in once— as opposed to returning to default after every match. Cow level is too difficult and needs tuning. Overall pleasantly surprised and happy with the game.
Played this game with friends locally and had a bunch of laughs. Sadly, the game is not being updated anymore, which is a shame because it showed a lot of promise. The game is a blast when played with friends, but the gameplay itself is very bare bones. Using the game's existing framework, my friends and I ended up creating our own house ruled modes and rules to spice up the fun, such as the VR player needing to stop and close their eyes every 10 seconds during the cow chasing mode to make it more fair for the other players.
I really wish Salmi Games made enough money on this game to continue development because I cannot emphasize enough how much promise this game shows!
this is the best local multiplayer vr game i have ever played. it is very fun if you have someone to play with.
very fun; needs polishing on controller mechanics and the custom gamemode "menu" could either use more functions tweeking or just a UI menu
09/19/2024 edit: id say after having it for a couple years now, I'm a bit disappointed to see a lack of work return to the concept. coming back, the game remains about the same. it some how runs less effective then it did when i bought it, and the updates to steam input don't seem to respond as much. would of bee nice to have at least some more local-play game-modes or an update to QA, but for $16? i do not recommend at its current state.
I got this game in the bundle and that is the only way I'd say its worth the price. It is kind of buggy and it doesn't have very much variety between the game modes and levels. I don't think it is getting updates anymore either.
It's a fun game but it's not worth full price.
Amazing game, very unique experience. Will be playing this everytime I have friends over.
Can't reccomend it enough.
(I got 0.2hrs on it because I got to play it on another Pc in my house)
This is a great game and perfect to play with friends using parsec (https://parsecgaming.com/) as being in the same room with the person wearing vr can be arkward and hard to see the screen as they are standing in front of it or making wild movements close to everyone else. Using parsec anyone using controller can be in any room or even remote and it works well.
The game is very fun and reminds me a little of mario party mini games. Would be best to come out with more modes. Great price and fun for what it is now. I recommend you get it for game night.
Fun for a short while, but full of bugs. Twice the game froze me out of continuing because it stopped sending enemies in the wave.
I don't think it's worth the price. Sub-£5 would be fairer.
One of the best asymmetrical VR games out there, easily. It has several modes, some more fun than others, but there's usually something that will please all friendship groups. I bought this on a whim and spent 4hrs solidly laughing with 3 friends over hide and seek, so good. They're planning more content, and even though it hasn't been updated in a while it IS still being developed, its not an abandoned project like many early access titles. If you're unsure, I'd say buy it on a sale, if you frequently play VR games with friends, I'd say this is worth full price.
I ended up having a small get together (5 people in total) and bought all of the asymmetrical games I could find via a master reddit post.
After trying out all of them, Late For Work, was the biggest hit. (Everyone agreed this was the best one we played) We got a big kick out of it and laughed quite a lot since we talked smack to one another as a flatscreener or as the VR player.
We tried all out of the game modes, set it up with 4 xbox controllers on a TV monitor (computer was hooked up to it) and it was a blast! I'm going to refer to the VR player as "Gorilla" for the rest of this review.
There are several modes (it's been a couple weeks since I've played). Some of them are very basic that I think most people will win as the gorilla like "hide n seek". However, there are two that we kept playing (keep in mind we are 25 year old who all play lots of games). The UFO mode where flat screen players are UFOs and abduct cows while the Gorilla tries to stop you. This as a Gorilla was difficult since there are 4 UFOs almost all of the time, but that's what made it so fun since you really had to try as the Gorilla and you basically played mind games with him as a flat screen player. In other words, the fun part was difficulty, mixed with crap talking your friends as you grab their space ships and huck them into the ground or smack them to explode.
The other mode that I enjoyed was the cow running one. Flat screen players are all cows and the Gorilla tries to stop them from making it to the farm. There are lots of fake cows so you try to slip out and escape so the gorilla doesn't notice you. I am very familiar with VR so I typically won this as a Gorilla. However, my friends who do not own VR aren't the best at locomotion or VR controls and it was hysterical to race to the farm and talk crap to them as they lost.
Honestly, out of all of the asymmetrical games I bought this was the most fun, easiest to understand, and had a lot of game modes so I could see some of them being amazing for 8-13 year olds or even 40-60 year olds who may not have the best skills at VR. I didn't feel like someone without a lot of video game experience would suffer from playing this game on flat screen or as the VR player just because there are only a few buttons you need to press as a flat screener and VR usually makes sense to people once they get familiar with the Vive controller.
I highly recommend this game if you are having a get together of at least 5 people (including yourself) since it's just a good time. I'm glad I purchased it and looking forward to the holidays when I can play it with my family.
EDIT: Grammar
1 night with friend, trying to play VR, "let's try this one, it's cheap and it looks fun !" ...
We smashed a lamp, and we will do it again if we can !
Tons of fun with this game, many game mod available. We played the whole night on it (we planned to try archangel hellfire, but ... we had no time !)
WARNING: it's a useless game for a solo experience. It's not fun, and there is not online mode, but, for a party game with friend, it's reaaaaaaally the game you need to play VR on asynchroneous gameplay.
Late for work is great fun with friends! I played maybe 20 minutes single player and it wasn't anything amazing in my opinion but when I got together with friends we played for hours without stopping and that is where the game really shines. My favorite mode by far is last man standing where players pick up powerups to enable them to turn into random items in the environment to hide from the gorilla.
I would highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a fun local co op vr game.. I plan on playing this a ton in the future. If I were to rate this game in its current state I would give it a 8/10 which is pretty amazing since it is still in development, I imagine that score will only go up. My only wish is that they added better AI for single player and more game modes and maps but im sure that more will come with time.
Amazing fun for a group of friends looking to couch game. Playing as the gorilla or shooting it down are equally fun ways to beat your friends up. I recommend anyone with a VR kit and buddies check it out for a unique local co-op experience.
TL;DR Really cool concept, but at this time (as the game is in Early Access) it needs more polish and features.
Picked this game up to play with my friends. The concept sounded pretty cool. Keep in mind this game is Early Acess and it certainly looks and feels like it(in my opinion). Perhaps I didn't have the settings right, but I believe there isn't sound in the game yet. The style of the game is pretty nice.
The concept, one player being a big gorilla monster while other non VR players attempt to attack or flee from him, is really cool. It just needs to be fleshed out more. I think adding larger maps would do wonders for this game. Also having the environment a little bit harder to destroy would be good.
The gorilla being able to pick up anything to smash the opposing players with is a little OP.
Also, in regards to the maps, having them be more dense and lively would be great. I think this would add to the immersion of the game as well as make it a bit more challenging for the VR player(in a fun way!) Have some other cars driving around as well as people. Add some more detail to the ground as well such as trees, city benches, light posts, etc.
My friends who played against me as the tanks and fighters told me that the game, at the moment, seems a bit unfair for them. They said the controls were also a bit awkward. I also think that perhaps shrinking the size of the vehicles and making them faster or more manuverable would greatly help. Adding other cars just driving around would also help this. Perhaps, more AI controlled military vehicles would help as well.
I'm sure the devs have a lot of their own plans already, so I'll stop here.
The game is definitely still rough around the edges, but I'm happy to support it and I hope the devs will continue to build upon what they've already created here. This game has A LOT of potential and I can't wait to see what the future will hold for it.
This game is fun for the whole family. If you have multiple kids who love VR but can't play many of the games due to content/multiplayer then this may be your game. Now given it's in it's early stages it doesn't feel complete but I have not run into any major bugs. In my opinion at it's core, is a solid, fun, game idea that I hope gets future updates.
The graphics are in a basic polygon style and it runs smooth on a GTX 980 with no problems for any players. The game play for the PC players take me back to N64 days in terms of graphics and controlling the tanks/planes (I mean this in a fun way).
Being the Gorilla is, of coarse, the most fun. You get to pick up your opponents and hurl them into the sea, throw buildings at planes, eat people... all very entertaining when you can all hear each other. As for the VR locomotion the controls have a grab and pull type mechanic. At first it felt odd but after 10 minuites it was easy to use and can definitly be used without roomscale.
Right now it has three basic game modes and some experimental modes but they mostly invovle either attacking or hiding from the Gorilla. Respectivly the Gorilla needs to survive or find objects/people.
Again, if you have kids that have trouble waiting for their turn in VR this is a must buy for $10.
There are no reviews so I figure I should get something here to give people an idea.
I tried the game with my wife (who was on a controller) and we had some laughs. Scrambling around as the gorilla is a bit odd since you need your hands to move (and to hold things) but it "feels" right.
I have no regrets over picking it up for 10$, its nice to be able to participate with the person who is in VR and this will be a good laugh with the kids as well.
Grapics are primitive at best, but very colorful and easy to read.
