Mankind was wiped off the Earth, but some humans escaped. Now the last remnants of humanity hide in the rocky outer regions of our solar system.

Fight back against the Machine Alliance in this made-for-VR shooter. This game contains three play styles based on different types of locomotion: a "rails shooter" mode, an experimental "jog-to-move" mode in which the player jogs in place to move forward along the path, and a highly experimental that lets brave VR users play the game while walking on an exercise treadmill.

Tackle missions or play in "Endless" mode to survive as long as you can.

Certain elements of the missions are procedurally generated. Some things will be different each time you play.

The missions follow a common pattern, but they differ according to which two weapons you get as well as other things. In the intro mission, you get a shield and plasma crossbow. In Mission 1, you get a pistol and a basic sword/machete. In Mission 2, you get a pistol and a sword with a "force field." In Mission 3, you dual-wield pistols. Mission 4 gives you a "TimeSaber" that allows you to slow enemy fire mid-air. Mission 5 lets you deflect enemy fire with a plasma sword, and Mission 6 gives you "MagneGuns" that can "magnetically" pull in robots and launch them.

GAMEPLAY HINTS:

Shoot the red crystals to deactivate doorway lasers.

The "basic blade" you have in Mission 1 is a simple weapon... but in later missions you have more advanced technologies.

When you come to the crystal "reactor core" at the end of each mission, destroy the rotating crystals first otherwise the center crystal will regenerate.

If you lose a mission a certain number of times on "Less Difficult Mode," it will unlock an even easier difficulty level that you can choose: "Least Difficult Mode."

If you're a scoundrel, you can go into "Game Options," and then "Cheating Options" to unlock the missions without beating the preceding ones.

    Pros: Jog on the spot locomotion Only costs £1.67 Graphics options, including in game supersampling Change gun grip angle Cons: Can barely make out distant robots Gun is very inaccurate, even slowing down and using the sight Robot bullets are incredibly fast, not being hit seems to come down to luck Can't grumble at just over a quid, but with the speed of enemy bullets, inaccuracy of yours, and distant robots being hard to see, how much you progress comes down to luck.

    It's so much better than I thought, an endless runner ( with running in place that works perfectly!) combined with a shooter. Nice graphics too. The price may suggest a humble product, but it's a solid game. EDIT: I'm going for the 2 hrs of playing, and likes the game even more. The jog mode is great, you can cover yourself before enter in a stage, and hit far robots. With the experimental time blade, you've a sort of bullet time to deflect shots. It's also the best workout I ever had with the Vive, better than Holoball, Holopoint, BattleDome... whatever, here you actually run all the time with some pause for shots and hide, it reminds me the jogging in Wii Fit but even better! I hope this will grow as soon as new contents will be added.

    Just look at that price! How can you beat that price?! I spend that on so many useless things that I never even use besides maybe once. Anyways to the review :) This game has quite a bit going for it. It's a rail style shooter in which you are placed in a mine cart of sorts and have to defend yourself against the robots that are coming at you. I died several times on normal mode so I can only imagine how challenging hard mode can be. This is something that I really enjoy in games in general not just vr games, a challenge. The developer has also added in an optional locomotion system that you can try out whether it be to work out some or just mess around with you can change your players movement from automatic where you are just riding in the cart to being moved by jogging in place. This does a couple things. Give you a pretty decent workout if you play for prolonged periods of time - Check Make the game more challenging if you find yourself too boss at the regular missions - CHEck Make you look like a fool - CHECK!! In all seriousness the shooting feels very solid in this game and for only $3 you can't go wrong! Definitely worth picking up. (Below is a link to a gameplay commentary I made of this game, so if you are curious of how the game plays then check it out!) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=723389977

    If this game has some way to avoid being hit, I can't find it. There doesn't appear to be any way to dodge or block enemy bullets so every game only lasts the few seconds it takes for your shields to run out. The game either needs to add some way to survive more than a few seconds or add an explanation of whatever game mechanic I'm missing that permits survival.

    It's pretty fun, but I would love it if they made the easiest difficulty a bit easier (by for example removing the spider chasing you and making enemy projectiles move slower). Definitely worth it.

    for the money this is a fantastic game. a really fun rail shooter and can be a good workout if you use the jogging locomotion. I made a 3 minute review of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM0JG_V1-Ec

    I will admit i was skeptical of this game reading some of the first reviews. Man im glad im rich and im not worried about $3 because this game is really fun. you can either ride in a mine cart or jog in place to move while trying to shoot robots and deflect their shots all the while shooting crystals I ave a gtx 1080sc so i have my steam ss set to 1.3 and in game where you actually have the option of increasing it as well i have it set at 2.0 and man this game actually looks nice and with the increases i can see all the far off robots very well. the gunplay is tricky but actually pretty good, in some ways i feel like mc cree from overwatch with my six shooter. overall i would recommend its a fun way to spend your time.

    I have started to slow down my purchasing of Vive games, now that so many are coming out every day, with a huge variety of quality and longevity. For the money, and as a Early Access, this is a great game. Long term it really needs some work, which I am sure they will do (and hope :) ) Worst complaint, and I've seen others mention it, is the aiming on the gun is terrible. SPT is awesome on this front. This should be copied or the gun just made more accurate. Would like no gun loading option too, personally. Enemies need more AI. Enemies should be bigger too, in a VR headset it is hard to see them. Shield perhaps, instead of a pretty useless sword? A story would be great, maybe more changes to the levels. The train track works well, and the idea is cool, and its fun to play. I think most people will be happy with the fun for the money but leave the game wanting so much more. I do recommend it for this price.

    After today's update (12/23/16) The game saves the angle that you set for Oculus touch L/R. That was literally my only complaint. So, now for a review... The game is a simple on rails shooter, but with the jogging aspect to move you forward, it's fun and exercise. It's challenging to hit things while still jogging, so you could set goals for speed runs. and it's a great price.

    [strike]I use oculus touch but the jog just dosen't work. when I am runing, nothing happened. Even I swing my arms and shake heads but it just doesn't work. Other is ok but I am attracted by jog, so it is pity[/strike] Now it works just as the developer answered. highly speak of developer's quick response.it's awesome!
  • Dimvision

    Feb 21, 2017

    I tried my best to like this one - about 3 sessions of 15 minutes each on 3 separate days - but I simply couldn't endure it anymore. Although the game has a really good soundtrack (it was very nostalgic of a Final Fantasy 3 castle tune), it was too random and largely uninspiring to continue playing. The gun doesn't shoot particularly straight, and the enemies are very far away, which gives the game a very random feel as opposed to any sort of skill or improvement in shooting. Also, enemies shoot from far away and their bolts are very fast, making it almost impossible to dodge. The lack of feedback after being hit didn't give me much desire to even try to dodge, really, and I found myself 'wild-wild-west'ing most of the time on the same dreary path. While everyone seems to be heralding this for its super cheap price, I would argue that there are MUCH better shooters out there for the same or less (or free) right now on the vive. It was a good attempt, but this one just didn't do it for me.
