Description: Dead Ground:Arena is an action packed FPS VR shooter, ready to get your heart skip a beat during exciting standoffs with infected creatures. Players take on the role of a secret agent for Blackrain, for whom they are sent on a range of challenging missions. To fulfill their objectives, players can choose from twenty different weapons to take down thirty different, horrific enemies. Missions range from protecting hostages and VIPs to fighting your way out of ever-swelling hordes in a confined space. Dead Ground: Arena supports teleport movement through the VR controller and direct player movement and comes with a variety of graphic settings to fit each player’s hardware requirements and provide a seamless immersive experience.
Review: Dead Ground:Arena is a traditional zombie wave shooter with a nice selection of weapons and a handful of good looking locations to fight them in. You do get a choice of locomotion with both free movement (kind of) and teleportation, so that should make most people quite happy. I also enjoyed that you can pick up different weapons and health upgrades as you go along, giving you something else to think about other than killing zombies. While there is a lot to enjoy here the current asking price of £11.39 seems way too much to me. I would much rather pay half of that to get good value for money from the game, but it is worth picking up if you love your shooters.
