Boomer Shooter. If you’re looking for an updated version of a Boomer Shooter style game in VR, this is the game you are looking for. Loved it. Brings back memories of playing Doom, Heretic, Hexen and a few others. This game is super trippy. With that said it did take me a month of playing in short doses to get beyond a sense of vertigo. But end the end I thoroughly enjoyed this game and am hoping to see Black Labyrinth in the future.
A very faithful VR port. This is basically just the PC version of Amid Evil but with VR controls. Its already a game, and this was a fairly smooth transition to VR.
Visually it does seem to have more texture filtering, so it ends up not quite looking as good as the original, and I'm hoping to see a Quest 3 upgrade at some point.
Much like most fps titles in VR, this game can cause motion sickness pretty easily. There are some accessibility options to help with that, but theres only so much that can be done without compromising the gameplay.
Excellent game overall, and one of the better action games on quest.
Finally a full fledged PC shooter. Aren't we all tired of quest games that are mostly just a proof of concept? I know I am tired of the endless onslaught of VR rougelikes that hide their lack of content with various tricks. Although I find some of them fun, I yearn for more games like Resident Evil 4, that were made on a different platform with a different design perspective.
On pc and consoles CONTENT matters, LEVEL DESIGN matters. A game that takes 4 hours to complete, or a game where you've seen all there is in 2 hours just wouldn't sell. Unfortunately on quest they do. That's why I'm so happy that New Blood Interactive dropped a full fledged game, that is full of levels, weapons, difficulty, variety - everything that the usual quest games lack. Level design is phenomenal. It has the best music out of all retro shooters. Doom, quake - those games didn't have the epicness of what we can hear here. The weapons make use of motion controlls in a suprisingly fun way.
BUY THE GAME so that they give us Ultrakill and Dusk. A lot hangs on how well this game sells and I have to tell you it's worth buying if you like single player FPP shooters.

Such a pity. Well, I WAS having a really good time with this game. I got all the way to the arcane expanse level 3 and I cannot progress any further. There's one section where you're supposed to do a double water bubble jump and then a triple water bubble jump to get up to the 3rd floor to get the silver key, and it's completely impossible. I have been trying this same exact jump for close to an hour now, hundreds of attempts, and I simply cannot get past that 3rd bubble and onto the 3rd floor. I'm essentially stuck, unable to progress because of 1 jump being like a nanometer out of reach. I really hope the devs address this because I was having an absolute blast with the game up until this point
Pay attention developers. Every Thursday I log on to Oculus hoping for a new exciting game to play on my withering headset. Every Thursday I see one of three things. New Zombie game, a repetitive talentless rogue lite game, or a cute puzzle game. Hundreds of them, thousands. Copying each other to ad nauseum results.
Amid Evil is simple in graphics but incredibly fun. It understands the hardware it's running on and takes advantage of it. No cheap rogue lite game play to trick the player into thinking the developer knows how to make a true game by making you die and lose everything. No zombie simulator. Just a fun action shooter with multiple weapons and secrets to discover.
Has this genre existed for ages? Oh, hell yes it has. But in a medium over bloated by copy cat garbage rogue games, it's a breath of fresh air.
