DAVID: Amazing VR-Shooting game in space

...the new definition of a VR-shooter

I met last week an old friend, who is really a pioneering developer on VR. Peter Bickhofe did this stuff realy from day one.

Unnoticed, he release a new game. DAVID. A sort of bullet-hell VR game. And...

Wow, what an awesome game!

What I especially liked was:

  • The design — in terms of look and feel
  • The opening dialogue — especially the first line, it hits the mark so perfectly. It was a lot of fun to read/listen to.

As for the gameplay, at first I thought: hmm… I’m missing the classic 2D shooter elements, like the fun of constantly upgrading to even better weapons, etc.

But then I also thought: maybe there’s a different kind of game depth here. And now I’m stuck at level 1 - 5, realising that VR shooters definitely require a whole different skill set. ;)

It definitely has that addictive shooter vibe. 👍

It feels with some good design-decisions like the definition of how VR-Shooter have to be!

Very good work! Just get this game for your headset!
