Description: It was a long time ago, there was a quiet and peaceful village, in this magical land, where villagers can enjoy music like sounds of nature, but one day a monster suddenly appeared, how did villagers to protect their right to enjoy the music? We are Viriver studio. The Sonic Hunter is our latest production, a kind of VR music rhythm game. Painting style of low poly is lovely and cool, it will take you into a fairy tale world. Players in the game will play a role as a sixteen-year-old boy who is a miracle fighter. Use a magical shield to resist the musical virus invasion and save the village.
Review: Sonic Hunter VR is not the game I thought it was going to be. I expected it to be a Viking twist on the tried and tested music rhythm genre. While that is what the game is, it is the music that shocked me. The songs are all songs played on a midi-system not real songs. So poor quality versions of the originals and that was just the start of the problems of this game. The main one being none of the beats hit meaning it feels awkward to play. While it is only £2.09 I still feel it isn’t worth a download. This is one game that needs a lot of work to make it worth a download and seeing as it has long been abandoned, that will never happen.
