Description: VainPlanet is a VR shooting game aiming for a high score by attacking enemies while avoiding or preventing attacks from drones. You can advance the wave by shooting down the drones that appear one after another and preventing attacks. You can use a shotgun to kick and disperse them, or you can kill them one by one. Let’s advance the wave and aim for the first place in the world ranking!
Review: You know a game is bad when the games own developer couldn’t play it well in the trailer. That is what happened with ‘VainPlanet’ and boy is this a stinker of a game. It’s supposed to be a budget version of Space Pirate Trainer, but ends up looking much worse. While they are basically the graphics are not terrible and I really like the shield, but when it comes down it gameplay will always be king and sadly this game has little to none of it. The gun aiming is terrible, shooting feels empty and void of feedback and the action never gets exciting. If this was free I might have suggested you take a look, but for £3.99 you are better off getting something else.
