As a game its Fantastic...But

Ok, this is an awesome game with a Modern VR take on classic Retro arcade games. It comes across far more visually stunning than a lot of Quest games and feels polished too. However, there are some issues. 1. Player position when switching between modes and with regard to intractables. When you are in the cockpit it places you too far forward, so to grab the joystick is like grabbing my manhood that's how close it puts the controls to your body. Considering this is a title that would be good to play seated that's a big problem. Also you have to interact with various objects and they are right next to your face at some points. Just not ideal. 2. At some points it gets you to choose controls but you just need to touch them to select them and again it places them so dam close to you if you hold your hands in front of you while playing it auto-selects just by appearing on your hand giving you no time to read what it's explaining. I do think the dev needs to place the player a little further back to the action in some modes it would solve some of this. Also when you used a life/heart you drop and lose any coins you have collected. meaning if you lose a heart at the end of a round you lose everything. Would love to see again a more retro approach where it may give you some time to collect some of them back. thinking of like sonic days. Other than some of these complaints its a really solid game the devs have done a great Job.

instant favorite

I think this demo is from the same dev's that made "operation warcade" quickly becoming my favorite VR dev's for being able to mix retro with modern VR gameplay. I played the demo on my Quest 2 and look forward to trying the Steam version on my Reverb G2. An immediate buy when it comes available on both platforms. For a demo, this one looks as polished and modern as any Quest game in the Oculus store and regard this one as essential to have on mine. Great job

Perfection

What Ivanovich Games delivers here is the absolute crowning glory. Operation Warcade had already impressed me and Beat Blaster is also a great experience, but 2076 Midway Multiverse plays even more with the perspectives and opens up completely different dimensions for me as a shooter fan. The expanded 2D shmup environment paired with game elements from a strafox/space harrier and even a real futuristic flight sim blew my mind at first and still puts a big grin on my face that I can hardly ever stop playing it. There is also a great high score hunt, trashy but funny story with great movie anecdotes, great effects, a long gaming experience and non-stop action.

Seems Good, but Is It Really "Free" Now?

Seems great from what I've played thus far andca step up from "1976 Back to Midway" (the now unplayable game that is now for me & many others since 2+ weeks ago due to the guns not working anymore for whatever reason, and no fix seemingly ever coming...), so I am glad to have found this title in the arcade selection at the start of the Operation Warcade demo (another game I immediately purchased after trying). I am very confused on if I actually have the FULL game here though, as I only selected the free DEMO for the game (selecting the full game option in the arcade menu only brings up a blank store page that never loads and searching the game here in the Store only brings up this version I got when selecting" Demo"), and this free version I have is acting like the full game... So did they just make the game free or did the game never get a full release/ got taken down?. .. No idea, but I hope I have the complete game so as to have a replacement (especially a free one) for the now unplayably broken 1976 Midway game I paid good money for...
