ARK and ADE is an action-jammed VR FPS shooter in which you get to experience the glory of the 80’s arcade era in a neon fused setting 🤘😎. Shoot your way through retro-futuristic levels filled with enemies, iconic over the top bosses and never ending bullets. Insert coin to play! 🤖
Players praise the satisfying, arcade-style shooting mechanics. The default pistol-like weapon can morph into a variety of other guns, like machine guns, shotguns, and lasers, when players collect power-up pickups. Each weapon type feels gratifying to use, and players must replenish the limited ammo by finding new power-ups.
The game offers multiple movement options, including free locomotion, dash/blink teleportation, and blinking. This allows players to choose the control scheme that works best for them and avoids motion sickness. The gameplay encourages constant movement and precise dodging of enemy fire, as players need to be highly mobile to avoid taking damage.
One standout feature is the "bullet time" ability, which slows down time for enemies while keeping the player's actions at normal speed. This creates dramatic, adrenaline-pumping moments where players can carefully line up shots and dodge oncoming attacks.
The uniquely-designed boss battles at the end of each level are a particular strength. Defeating these bosses, which grow more difficult with each level, is described as immensely satisfying by players.
Beyond the main campaign, the game offers Endless and Arena modes that introduce new twists to keep the experience fresh. The inclusion of leaderboards and secrets to uncover also adds to the game's replayability, as players are motivated to master the levels and improve their scores.
