❤ Retro-Inspired Shooter Gameplay

Players experience a first-person shooter that takes direct inspiration from classic 90s games like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. The game features sprite-based graphics with a vibrant, retro art style that evokes the feel of those iconic shooters. Many reviewers praise the title for recapturing the challenging, fast-paced gameplay of the old-school FPS genre in a VR setting.

❤ Unique Movement System

The game utilizes a unique movement system that sets it apart from other VR shooters. Players control their character's movement by holding a "carrot on a stick" with their non-dominant hand controller. Extending the carrot further increases their speed in that direction, allowing for free-roam locomotion around the levels rather than just teleportation. Some reviewers find this system intuitive and immersive, while others report it can be occasionally clunky or cause motion sickness.

❤ Level Design and Exploration

The 10 hand-crafted levels set in The Lagoreatory facility feature complex, multi-layered environments with branching paths, keycards to find, and various secrets and collectibles to discover. Reviewers describe this as encouraging exploration and replayability as players work to navigate the environments and complete each area.

❤ Intense Firefights

The title pits players against a variety of bizarre enemy types, from mutated rats to machine gun-wielding elephants. Reviewers praise the game's challenging "bullet hell" style encounters that require constant strafing and quick reflexes to survive. The arsenal of six unique weapons, including a satisfying shotgun, adds depth to the combat.

❤ Boss Battles

The game features three intricate boss encounters, each with distinct mechanics, attack patterns, and weaknesses that players must learn to overcome. Reviewers note these boss fights ramp up the difficulty and provide a sense of accomplishment when defeated.

❤ Retro Style and Atmosphere

Beyond the core gameplay, many reviewers highlight the title's strong retro aesthetic and atmosphere. The game's trippy, off-the-wall story, characters, and soundtrack are frequently cited as highlights that contribute to the overall experience. The classic FPS feel, combined with the immersive VR setting, resonates with players who grew up with those beloved 90s shooters.
