Description: In the year 4020 humanity discovered sleeping dragons on Mars. Being the great patrons we are, we hooked them up with some gene therapy and now they’re sentient! Let’s teach them internet humour! Huh, they seem to really like the early 2000s. Fire. Everything’s on fire. Oh and now they’ve invented teleportation. That’s fine. Everything’s fine. But if you could get over here and stop them from reaching the earth, that’d be great.
Meme Dragons is a silly, sci-fi VR arcade game for all demographics. For VR newbies, it’s a chance to see why the physical immersion of VR is so great, without having to worry about complex controls. For gaming vets, its a carefully designed challenge meant to keep you playing for hours chasing that next high score. Also, if you’re looking for an exercise game, the addition of throwing weapons by end of 2017 will likely make this the most efficient VR workout on the market, since dodging is your primary survival mechanic and the throwing weapons force constant arm motion.
Review: Meme Dragons might be yet another wave shooter, but it does offer it in a manner never seen before. Sure, it’s a static shooter but the things you are shooting at are all memes! It’s weird, it’s silly, its fun from start to finish. But sadly this game is a one-trick pony. Once you get over the silly memes you soon realise that this is a terrible wave shooter and not worth even half the £5.19 aksing price. So do yourself a favour and if this still looks like something you will enjoy playing wait for a REALLY good sale before giving it a go.
