Description: This is a personal project I’ve been working on by myself for a while. It’s a VR Action Shooter that makes you feel like Neo from the matrix. A mysterious group of rogues calling themselves STAR have kidnapped you. In this VR shooter, you will right the wrongs of the “evil” Space Trading Association as you are tasked/forced into suicidal missions. A short concise adventure and a first glimpse into the STA Universe. Dodge bullets and use an arsenal of weapons including a two-handed assault rifle and a grenade launcher to dispense justice on those your master determines to be evil.
Review: STAR SOD is a sci-fi themed first-person shooter in which you are taking on the bad guys one room and area at a time. I have to say, the main environments do look good in a weird, 70’s sci-fi kind of way, but when it comes to the movement of the AI and the gameplay sadly the game falls apart. The animation to start with is just terrible and the AI seems to just move from side to side, then there is the overly complicated gun relading that makes it almost a pain to go on with the game! Having said that the game only costs £1.69 and for that price, this is well worth a look. It’s not going to blow anyone away, but it does deliver a cheap bit of action for us shooter fans.
