Description: B.U.G. Force is a TPS (third-person-shooter) VR Shoot ’Em Up, inspired by old space dog fight games from the early 90’s. The game value navigational skills in combination with shooting accuracy and tactics in the same way as the original games.
Review: ‘B.U.G. Force’ is a retro-style Shoot ‘Em Up played in a microscopic size, so you are basically trying to prevent an alien virus from overtaking your motherboard. Putting the low-poly retro graphics to one side as I feel they are themed to the style of the game, it is the controls that are this games biggest issue. To say they are overall complicated would be an understatement! If you take the time to get over them there is a small amount of fun to be found here. But by then you will be board and realising the gameplay is far too shallow to be worth your while carrying on. If this was super cheap I might have recommended you give it a go, but I wouldn’t pay much more than a quid or two for this tops, so until the price comes down significantly it is not something I can currently recommend.
