Time Carnage
Time Carnage is a frantic VR survival wave shooter. Travel through time and wreak havoc through worlds swarming with dinosaurs, monsters, robots and zombies. Featuring an unique frenzy inducing timed-reload system that makes you feel like a real bad-ass. Shoot, drop, switch, repeat! to unlock and upgrade your arsenal with mix-and-match weapons, time-altering perks and ludicrous arcade cheats. Choose your loadout wisely as you’ll manically swap out active guns on the fly in a 16-tier Campaign or Custom Arcade Mode complete with perks, challenges and mystery items. Immerse yourself in a post-apocalyptic world, prehistoric jungle, icy wasteland and a futuristic metropolis. For each zone you’ll handpick a selection of guns to suit your play style and battle with a timed-reload system as you unlock an arsenal of over 25 mix-and-match dual wielding weapons. Finding it too challenging? Keep an eye out for a Time Paradox — they might just give you an unfair advantage!

Wave shooter with somewhat destructible and interactive environments and a bullet time mechanic. Three difficulty levels, and different weapons unlocked as you progress.
The beautiful environments are very well done, but the gameplay is basic and adds very little new to the VR wave shooter catalog. For what it is, the DEVs have done an excellent job. I had no technical issues, except when my controller died and I turned it back on my gun was missing. Not a big deal!
I recommend buying on sale, but full price is too much in my opinion.

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
This is a 180 stand still wave shooter. There's a campaign mode, arcade mode, and challenge mode. You'll definitely want to start in the campaign mode. I started on normal difficulty and found it challenging but not overly so (I only died once after clearing the 1st zone). I think if you pick hard you'll be locked in to picking only the best gun (x4) versus being able to mix and match on normal difficulty. So I recommend normal mode, so you can experiment and have the most fun.
There are 4 different zones. Each zone has 4 different levels of 10 waves each. It took me about an hour to complete the first zone. Each level looks different but with the same motif. Every zone is completely different. You start out with zombies and urban apocalypse style settings. After clearing the first zone, you'll head into prehistoric era vistas facing giant flying bugs and dinos.
After each level, you unlock a new weapon. You have four different weapon slots to fill and you can choose 4 different weapons or 4 of the same weapons or however you want your loadout. You can grab a weapon in each hand. Or you can grab only one. When you're not holding on to a weapon, that weapon sits on a pedestal and reloads automatically over time. So a lot of the game is just managing your ammo/reloads. Each weapon feels different. If you want easy mode, just choose 4 SMGS.
So there are quite a few enemy types for each zone. However, there's not as much variety as I would have liked. They do behave differently though. Some are like tanks, some run fast towards you, some are just like pawns for you to obliterate, others are flying enemies that shoot at you. It was disappointing though that at the end of the wave, the 10th wave, there was no boss fight. This game really needed that to put it over the top of not just another wave shooter. The 8, 9, and 10th waves though are pretty frantic and fast-paced .. unless you have 4x SMGs. Just don't do that.
There's also arcade mode. It's very similar to campaign mode. The difference is that you can pick any level (that you have already unlocked in campaign mode). And you can pick up to three different perks that you unlock. Perks include stuff like adding a laser pointer to every weapon or making enemies who die have zero gravity or get an extra bullet with headshots. There is also an option that says you can pick the type of enemies as well (untested).
Challenge mode was very fun and challenging (surprise!). Well, one of them wasn't because you can cheat on it easily. You can get bronze, silver or gold to unlock perks for arcade mode. There are three unlocked challenges at the start, with plenty more to unlock. One of the challenges is getting headshots on zombies with a handgun, the other is using a crossbow to kill demon dogs (?), and the last unlocked challenge is using sniper weapons.
I did have fun playing the game. I don't know that it brings anything new to the table, but it is very polished and has a lot of content. It did remind me of Serious Sam - the Last Hope. The visuals in this game are top notch. I did think the game was too dark in some levels and I would like to see flashlights on the guns for those levels at least. I'm okay with it being dark as it brings a new challenge (can you see? do you need an optometrist?), but it would have been better with a strong flashlight just to make it more immersive.
Rate 7/10. I know $20 may seem high for yet another wave shooter that adds nothing new, but there is a lot of quality content here. If you like Island 359, Serious Sam VR - The Last Hope, or Brookhaven Experiement, this one is up there.

I try not to buy wave shooters, but I looked for a game I can spend 20-30 minutes here and there, the game is pretty much good, wave shooters need good graphice and gunplay as there is nothing else in them, and that game got it right, so yeah fun game to come to here and there.

this game is phenominal, one of my favorite games in VR!
pros: 1)beautiful game (not the best but its up there), but graphics are great and the stages are all really nice and unique
2) so many different types or weapons that all feel great and unique
3) the reload system is fresh, you basically have littel pods in front of you that recharge the wea[pon when you arfent using it, makign you have to switch weapons and think tactically ! best part about this game in my opinion. makes it stand out to all the other wave shooter
4) couple of different game modes including arcade and campaign which seem to be pretty long so far ! also like to point out that there is difficulties which make it even better for all types of players.
5) sounds of creatues and enemies allow you to pick them out and get ready for them adding more tactics to it !
cons: not really many , for the price its alot of content, but i do hope they add even more weapons and eras to the game because its a must have !
hope the developers hear me ! thank you for a sick game !

I was reluctant to add yet another wave shooter to my collection, but this one is very well done and a worthwhile purchase. Excellent graphics, nice weapon-loadout system, excellent feel to the aim, good sound and music, multiple modes, nicely laid out progression unlocks. Overall, a definite winner in the wave shooter category, and a solid recommendation, especially if on sale.

I bought this on sale at some point, assuming that it would be a terrible, cheesy mess of a wave shooter, but what the hell, it's cheap. Well, I was partly right - it's cheesy. It's ridiculous... I mean, waves of dinosaurs, both carnivores and herbivores attack you for no reason. Robots attack you. Mutant zombies attack you.
So yeah, it's a mess, but it's kind of a glorious mess. I love the unique weapon management and reload system. It adds a tactical decision-making layer that's super easy to use on the fly. There are a ton of weapons to unlock when you complete levels, which keeps you going and adds a bit of a strategic layer when you're choosing your loadout. Enemy waves are well-paced and there's no cheap stuff like attacking you from behind. If you just want to blow some time blowing away a bunch of absurd enemies, you should be happy with this.
