Description: Pixel Gear is a pixel style VR shoot-em-up game with a variety of humorous cartoon monsters and ghosts as enemies. Use your skills and weapons to defeat them, gain energy and apply your skills wisely to slow down the time and load infinite bullets. Observe the environment carefully. Do not miss the ghosts with stealth abilities as they can supply tons of magical items to help you. Keep on shooting, in the pixel battlefield!
Review: Sadly gameplay length and value for money are the biggest issues with Pixel Gear. Only featuring three stages the fun doesn’t last long, but you might well be happy that it doesn’t because it gets repetitive quite fast. But it feels good to play, the shooting feels natural, the aiming is pretty spot on and the big boss fights are also worthy of a nod of approval. If this was just half it’s original price I would tell you to snap it up, but at it is, the price simply doesn’t justify the amount of content you get. Grab this in a sale however and you will be loving every second of it. (Which is handy because it doesn’t last much longer than that anyway.)
