Amid Evil

VR CHAMPIONS! WELCOME BACK TO AMID EVIL VR. And welcome to the NEXT GEN UPDATE! Here's what we've been up to: - Vastly reworked axe throwing (it's a little OP, but it's a lot of fun!) - Added Hordes of Evil (Endless Mode) - Improved tutorial (with axe throwing) - Improved weapon handling …

Finally a full fledged PC shooter

Aren't we all tired of quest games that are mostly just a proof of concept? I know I am tired of the endless onslaught of VR rougelikes that hide their lack of content with various tricks. Although I find some of them fun, I yearn for more games like Resident Evil 4, that were made on a different platform with a different design perspective. On pc and consoles CONTENT matters, LEVEL DESIGN matters. A game that takes 4 hours to complete, or a game where you've seen all there is in 2 hours just wouldn't sell. Unfortunately on quest they do. That's why I'm so happy that New Blood Interactive dropped a full fledged game, that is full of levels, weapons, difficulty, variety - everything that the usual quest games lack. Level design is phenomenal. It has the best music out of all retro shooters. Doom, quake - those games didn't have the epicness of what we can hear here. The weapons make use of motion controlls in a suprisingly fun way. *edit* Starting the game on "hard" and with "warrior mode"(the way it's meant to be played) enabled is a must. BUY THE GAME so that they give us Ultrakill and Dusk. A lot hangs on how well this game sells and I have to tell you it's worth buying if you like single player FPP shooters.

Hardcore Fast Paced Retro FPS on Quest

🚨FULL VIDEO REVIEW AVAILABLE BY SEARCHING ‘GAMERTAG VR’ 🚨 Part of my script👇 Amid Evil sees you turn from a HERETIC into a champion tasked with freeing the ancient lands to reclaiming some sacred weapons. The rest of the story is told in text around the words but to be honest it’s not important as simply a weak excuse to kill everything. The weapons in Amid Evil are fantastically crazy and aside from the default Axe can all be used as upclose and ranged weapons. You have 8 to choose from and my favourites are the wizard wand, the trident, the evil looking staff that shoot miniature planets and moons (including earth) and a spike use club that fires shards to pin your enemies against walls. Looking at that list that is actually most of the weapons.. anyway they all have an alternate firing mode when you summon your over powered souls power. Soul power is charged by collecting… you guessed it! The Souls of your enemies.

Great port of a retro shooter

If you enjoy the old school boomer shooter of strafing, secret area finding, speed running, and gibbing - this is your game. Translated very well over to VR and I appreciate how smooth the port runs natively. I have a few niggles that are preventing a 5 star rating. First of all, I had an issue with the end of level screen not allowing me to continue to the next area. It was just the blue misty effect with no other image present and some black glitches when I looked around quickly. Had to exit out of the app and restart. Secondly, the grip triggers are far too sensitive. I'm constantly switching weapons unintentionally to my left hand and vice versa when I barely brush the button. This also causes me to throw the axe when I'm intending to just swing it. Maybe adding an option in the menu to disable the right or left grip button would help alleviate this annoyance. Aside from that, I'm very happy with this port and hope to see Dusk and Ultrakill given the VR treatment. I grew up with Doom, Quake, Heretic, etc when they were the cream of the crop in terms of tech so it's really cool to be able to play these homage games in immersive VR.

Pay attention developers

Every Thursday I log on to Oculus hoping for a new exciting game to play on my withering headset. Every Thursday I see one of three things. New Zombie game, a repetitive talentless rogue lite game, or a cute puzzle game. Hundreds of them, thousands. Copying each other to ad nauseum results. Amid Evil is simple in graphics but incredibly fun. It understands the hardware it's running on and takes advantage of it. No cheap rogue lite game play to trick the player into thinking the developer knows how to make a true game by making you die and lose everything. No zombie simulator. Just a fun action shooter with multiple weapons and secrets to discover. Has this genre existed for ages? Oh, hell yes it has. But in a medium over bloated by copy cat garbage rogue games, it's a breath of fresh air. Developer: I'll buy this again on PSVR2.

No referral, its worth full price!

Amid Evil VR was a game I was hyped for since it was announced ... And it delivers exactly what I hoped! I even held off playing the pancake version of the game for the arrival of VR, which I also bought on PC in a great bundle! Five stars is my review the first hour with it so far, can't wait for more time to dive back in!
