The gameplay premise is very simple: think a vector graphics styled Geometry Wars or, for those a little longer in the tooth, Robotron. The player takes control of a vehicle within an arena and must evade the enemies and their shots whilst returning fire to take out increasingly difficult waves. It’s a familiar premise of course, but one that works in VR due to the simplest of gameplay ingredients: fun.
Problems so exist within the difficulty curve, however. While the player is able to tailor their experience to a degree, once skilled you may often find that the first 10-or-so waves provide no challenge. This is fairly typical of the genre, but remains a greater frustration when playing with the HTC Vive (or Oculus Rift with Oculus Touch) as the hardware typically calls for a standing position, and with no use of roomscale you’re simply guiding a vehicle around a seemingly lifeless arena for 10 minutes-or-so until you actually begin to face a challenge; arguably the entire point of such an action-centric experience.
