Description: 9 Grids VR is an arcade-style, fast-paced, short and easy fun game for the HTC Vive that is a combination of whack a mole and dodgeball in an apocalyptic world. Please note that you MUST have an HTC Vive in order to play the game! Slash or blast up your enemies and dodge their attacks by moving physically around the unique 9 Grids movement system!
Review: I’m not quite sure what sort of game 9Grids VR was supposed to be, but whatever it was I think it missed the mark by a long stretch. You seem to be attacking tiny ninjas by waving some sort of blade towards them with no real strategy or feeling of action in any way. Its almost as if I was missing the point of the game entirely. I mean, it looks OK I suppose, but even the sound effects are as lame as they could be. It might be less than a bottle of fizzy pop, but I just can’t recommend this to people. Who knows, maybe I just missed the point of it, but all I can recommend a game in is how it felt to me.
