Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane in this first person arcade shooter game in VIRTUAL REALITY. Blast your way though unique waves of enemies and mega bosses, each with their own strategy to defeat you, as you fight to destroy the ominous presence known only as RedSkull, and claim your spot on the High Score Board. The game has a very clean and minimalistic approach to the art style, which is reminiscent of those classic 8-bit games from the 70s.
In RetroGunX, you truly feel like hero inside the game, literally. You know that feeling you get when you're being watched? At any time, either during the main menu, high score screen or even during the game itself, look behind you to see a mysterious figure that not only watches your every move, but also controls your every move, though the arcade screen.

CAUTION!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY!!!
this game doesn't work with any oculus system newer than the rift, and the controls will NOT work! Do not buy unless you own a vive or oculus rift
In terms of waveshooters this definitely is one. The weapon upgrades take WAY too long to get, so you're stuck with the pistols for awhile, which gets tiresome on the fingers. Even after you unlock other weapons it takes FOREVER to gain enough coins to upgrade them. This grindfest is so painfully boring because every time you go to the main menu you are forced for five seconds to watch "APPS BY BRATS" explode and then the title be spelled and a menu animation. In game this is marked as 0.1.4d (EARLY ACCESS) but it's not listed as early access in the steam store. Their website (http://www.retrogunx.com/home.html) states they want to release by Dec. 20, 2017, so I think the early access tag was taken off and this game was abandoned. This horrible business practice is just a scam to part a fool and his money.
Well to start off this is a fun arcade game that brings back the feel of classic games perfectly... but unfortunitely thats all. Recently the soundtrack was removed to get rid of a copywrite claim on the soundtrack which has left the audio feeling pretty horrible. The final weapons are terrible making a pistol easier to use. After a recent update I can't even launch the game without it crashing. And while recording I got a low fps even though I can get 90+ while recording fallout 4 vr WITH vivid fallout all in one, 4k pipboy, and 4k graphics mods installed. So all in all it needs a soundtrack, optomizations, better and more weapons, and bug fixes. But eventually I do think that this could be a great game.
I was planning to play this for a quick 5 min on my first (and last) run, but ended up playing 30 min and it won't be my last run.
Two reasons to keep me going :
- To check out the next level(s).
- To unlock weapons and weapon upgrades (good luck maxing all upgrades), which will help me reach those next levels I want to see.
More then a game, the developpers have designed a game engine that makes it easy to create more content (lack of content being VR's typical weakpoint), and when they say they're planning to add 40+ MORE levels to the current 22 levels (including more boss levels), as well as ~6 more weapons... I totally believe that they can.
And by 40+ more levels, understand that each level is different : You don't go shooting the same wave twice.
This is what retro VR games would have looked like if retro VR had existed : If you're into retro games, you might actually love this.
As for the pricing : Once they've reached 60+ levels it will be like buying a few dozen wave shooters for ~20 cents each (less then a quarter), in a bundle worth buying, that you can chain without any downtime.
And yes : I own Space Pirate Trainer. I'm tempted to say Space Pirate Trainer is the game I am more likely to show my friends, while RetroGunX is the game I am more likely to play for myself. In Space Pirate Trainer the same enemies keep repeating a lot, the unlockable content is cosmetic and the goal is to beat the game score. In RetroGunX the enemies don't repeat, the attack patterns can vary widely, and the goal is to unlock and upgrade the weapons to make it easier to finish checking out every level in all their diversity. In Space Pirate Trainer I tend to stick to my guns during whole waves, and use shield and room scale to dodge shots. In RetroGunX there is no shield, it makes sense to switch weapons during waves instead of only between waves due to their slow recharge time (without their upgrades unlocked), and you tend to shoot incoming shots rather then block them or dodge them... so I have no problem owning and playing both, one for it's graphics and the other for it's gameplay.
Updated Review 2/14/2019
I still stand by my original review. However, the fact that it's been in EA for this long without an update makes me have to knock it down a bit. It still is super fun & challenging, but the lack of updates and the grinding involved make me now say buy on deep, deep sale but then get an awesome game & deal. See my video review & gameplay here:

Original Review Below
I can't believe this game got a 90% discount and is currently $1.19 USD on the Black Friday deal. It is so much fun. And it's actually one of the best wave shooters in VR currently. It stands out in a very crowded genre for VR. I know this may sound like heresy to some, but I enjoyed RetroGunX VR way more than I ever enjoyed Space Pirate Trainer (although maybe that's because I only started VR this past summer so I'm late to the VR world when SPT was THE game to play). by the way, I do think SPT is a good game, just not as good as this one
So what makes RetroGunX VR so special? I'm glad you asked or at least read it out in your mind and didn't know you were asking. Well, let me tell you the answer. This game is special because each wave is unique. This isn't some flying drone flying around at varying speeds and aimlessly at times and each wave just brings more of them. That stuff don't fly in this game. Each wave introduces a new enemy type that does very different things. Each enemy moves differently and has different attacks and attack patterns.
This game is not about climbing leaderboards (although it does have them). It's about progress. Finishing the game. In a way, it's like Galaga but unlike Galaga or classic arcade games, Those had endless waves of repetition, where it was about faster and more. This is about each wave bringing a new challenge. I would put this game up there with Blasters of the Universe. For $1.19 it's a must buy.
Sale Price Rating 10/10. Normal Price Rating 8/10.
Likes:
- Very nostalgic game that brings back a lot of good memories and incorporates these nostalgic elements in a fresh way.
- The game is easy to pickup and play, just as long as you select the correct difficulty level that is relevant to your skill, or else the game will overwhelm you at the harder difficulties.
- The VR interaction is smooth and natural.
Dislikes:
- Very little breaks inbetween waves. If you dont play a lot of VR games, your arms will probably get tired.
- The red incoming bullets are hard to pickup and see.
[*]Im not sure what bonuses are available and how they are earned mid wave.
really looking forward to this getting a full release, the beta is very good so far
