Description: Find out who’s the deadliest gunslinger of all. Challenge your friends to a duel on the internet or over LAN and prove once for all that you draw the fastest. Duel VR is a multiplayer western VR game of whizzing bullets, broken glass, explosions and a bad comedy. Show that you have the fastest gun and sharpest aim in the wild west that is The Internet. Visit 4 PvE and 4 PvP arenas with their unique features and quirks. The game contains many objects with individual physical behaviours. Enjoy breaking bottles, splitting bones, cutting wood, or just blowing stuff up. And yeah, the birds.
Review: I like what the developers were trying to make with ‘Duel VR’, but sadly it falls well short of being a game I could recommend. The gameplay for the single player is boring and just doesn’t look, nor feel right and there is no AI in the multiplayer side of the game rending more than half of the game unplayable given the lack of online players. It just lacks everything you need for a good Wild-West shooter, from the lack of guns to the lack of speed in the gameplay, it all falls well short of being worth anywhere near the £6.99 asking price. But if you pick it up in a cheap bundle of games you might appreciate it more than I did.
