WRATH: Aeon of Ruin VR - Brutal Edition

The weapon selection in this game feels broken. To change weapons you have to completely stop gameplay and look at a weapon wheel. There are no quick selects behind your shoulders or waist. It completely breaks the flow of the game. Please, you put so much hard work into this game. There has to be a better way.

kinda upset steam vr dosnt have an option for quest 3 controllers in the options, making it hard to configure to this game.....fml

Very Good Game like the good, old DOOM, the VR mechanics are excellent implemented. Ein sehr tolles Spiel. Es erinnert mich stark an das gute, alte DOOM in VR. Die VR Mechaniken sind ausgezeichnet in das Spiel integriert.

good

Big fan of the original game, dreamed of playing it in VR and we finally got it. This version's pretty interesting, as it seems to be a fixed up and polished version of the Unity release for consoles. That means the physics and enemy AI are fairly different compared to the Darkplaces version - off rip you can't bunny hop anymore, and enemies seem to need to get closer to you to aggro than on the PC version. It's not necessarily worse - just has a different flow to it. All the weapons have seen some balance tweaks, on top of the ability to dual wield pretty much whatever you want at the cost of no altfires while dual wielding. You'll find weaker weapons like the revolver to remain lethal up to the end, and other weapons feel more consistent, like the SSG being able to oneshot weaker enemies more reliably. The ability to execute a blade dash at any time with the grip buttons helps keep the flow of blitzing through problem enemies and repositioning at the same time, and coupled with a slow-mo you get to pull off some pretty badass sequences. Some voiceover was added for the Shephard too, which was an unexpected, but welcome surprise. There's also a guide feature, being a new artifact that briefly shows you the path forward in any particular level. A godsend for some of the more labyrinthine spaces in the game. The tightened up arsenal does a lot for the combat flow, though some new issues that weren't present in the PC version are around - in particular, I noticed flying enemies have a tendency to clip through walls, and enemies seem to be able to attack pretty much frame one of them spawning in, which can lead to some cheap deaths in enclosed areas. Overall, everything that was great about Wrath is just as great here, enhanced by VR letting you get a real sense of scale from the beautiful worlds and environments. Some of the negatives are here, too - while the atmospheric soundtrack is great, it gets a bit samey without any action tracks, save for one later in the game. While I've never had a problem with the level length it is worth mentioning this is a game where you'll have to take breaks halfway through a given map. Overall, if you like shooters, gothic fantasy, and VR, it doesn't get much better than this.

A must have for doom fans! A brutal high octane game that has a hint of doom vibes with a whole arsenal of weapons to wreck havoc! Visually it’s okay with the environments pretty expansive but generically look the same with some are very unique. Like the graveyard. It’s a learning curve having to use the joystick to switch weapons. It also gets in the way as you can easily press down on the joy sticks while running from enemies and you either open up the inventory with the left joystick or activate the slow motion with the right. It also is confusing when there’s doors to unlock but there’s no visual instruction on what to do which is pressing x. This made me think I was missing something and kept restarting till finally I just pressed x on a whim. Calling this experience Vr is very minimal as you don’t grab or interact by hands. Just by buttons. Your hands of course is just for combat. The blade dash is great for its versatile use for both combat and navigating around the huge maps.
