A-10 VR

While Space Pirate Trainer might be the go-to for the dodge-and-shoot crowd, if you want a system where target-selection is more important and you have to keep checking over your shoulder, this is it! If you want to shoot, but don't want to dodge, then check out A-10 VR!

An extremely underrated gem. For all of the love arcade style games like Xortex and Space Pirate Trainer have gotten, I cannot believe that A-10 isn't more popular. A-10 is a great shooter that isn't quite like any of the other VRcade games I've played thus far, yet still very intuitive and comfortable. Given the super low price point for a very replayable game, I would say everyone should pick it up, play it with their friends, and start battling for the highest score.

WOW!!!
This is the perfect example of an arcade shmup realised in virtual reality.
There are a couple of other titles in this genre already on the market but this one is by far my favourite. The weapons are simple but with a great feeling of power. One is a one hit instagib type railgun, the other is a slower full auto plasma gun.
The way to get high scores is by not missing so put the railgun in your dominant hand and when you have time line up your shots for maximum combo scores. When things get out of hand (and they do, oh boy they do) spray and pray with the plasma gun.
Its a simple game with no story and very little depth, but for the same price as a pint this is amazing value for money. Well done dev for putting a realistic price on your title. And well done for making something that is polished and perfectly playable.
9/10

This game gets my thumbs up, but it's not a "big up"
If you read my review for "Space Pirate Trainer" this game is almost the same thing... but not as well done. Actually, there's way more game modes so I guess there's more potential here. It could use some more polish for sure.
Basically, you're put on a floating platform in a "space" kind of environment surrounded by a series of blue portals (not like the ones from the Game portal though). Each of these portals can spawn enemies and also provide a way for enemies to exit the area. Once again you've got two guns with different firing modes, but no shield this time.
Each gun has only two modes... a precision laser and a plasma firing pistol. The gun sights are big and thus easier to see to aim as well. The difference here between this game and SPT is that you have a finite amount of ammo and you have to aim downward to reload (like the old arcade light gun games). SPT handled this by giving your weapons a "battery" that slowly recharged as you stopped firing so you never had to stop and reload. Reloading takes the focus off the action, though to be fair, waiting for a slow recharge is worse (when your weapon is down to zero charge).
Anyway, it's still fun, but it feels more like target practice than defending a point.
Things I liked about this game:
It's like the light gun games of the late 80's and 90's.
The gun sights are actually worth using in this game (I guess they're bigger and that helps)
There's powerups that do stuff like add bonus points and slows time down
Game modes include Survival mode, Time Attack, Practice and Attack mode (where they actually shoot back)
Things I didn't really like:
Music wasn't memorable
I'm not a fan of having to reload, especially when one gun only gets 10 shots and the other gets 30.
this game has more going on behind you than SPT did, so you may find yourself twisted up in the cable as you turn around and around.
For the most part, the action was a lot slower in this game so it took a lot longer to build up to excitement.
It's still a fun game, but if you had to pick between this game and Space Pirate Trainer, I'd say get Space Pirate Trainer.

My favorite shooter game. Makes you feel like you are the movie shooting anything that moves with 2 guns. Really cool gameplay and it is a workout. I am sweating after 20 mins of playing this game. Definitely getting a good arm workout from this game!

Solid 360 target wave shooter. You will need a full roomscale setup to do well. A major bonus is that it's priced correctly given the quantity and quality of content. There are two guns: a fully automatic bullet gun and a laser gun (shoots almost as fast as you can pull the trigger). There are 4 modes: Practice, Timed, Survival, and Attack. You shoot either flying drones, missiles, flying bombs, or and some flying drones give powerups that slow down time or give bonus points. You do get bonus points for being on target without missing (good luck with that!).
My clear favorite mode was attack mode. You are evading attacks on this mode. Although some of the attacks are hard to see. My biggest disappointment is that you can't always hear where enemies are coming from. So you have to keep your had on a swivel. I had a hard time seeing the lasers that shoot at you from seemingly out of nowhere.
I don't think this is the best wave shooter out there. But it's polished and the attack mode is fun. I did not really enjoy the timed mode. The survival mode was just okay for me. However, this is something that anybody can pick up and start playing right away so it's great for VR noobs. Just ignore the global leaderboards, I have no idea how those high scores were achieved.
Rate 6.5/10. Good value for your money, especially if you find it on sale.
