Description: The Ancient Remains is an immersive Rogue-Like designed exclusively for VR. Pick up your weapon and prepare to face mummies, scarabs, and other creatures once thought to be a myth. Explore procedural generated decaying tombs, find lost artefacts, and wield magical items to uncover the mysteries of the old gods.
These tombs are full of ancient traps, curses, and treasure – you will never know what’s around the next corner or in the next chamber. It’s all waiting to be explored in a beautiful open virtual world. Explore these mysterious temples using the touch controllers to interact with the world around you.
Review: The Ancient Remains is a pretty good looking dungeon crawler that features a range of things. From puzzle-solving to sword-swinging and you even get a want to take down the enemy. Now…you are probably thinking that was a typo there with the word “enemy”, but it really wasn’t. The truth is you will struggle to stretch this “game” out to 10 mins of content and yes, there really is only one enemy to fight with! It has so much going for it at the start that this shortness is an incredible letdown especially for the £6.99 asking price! Unless this one becomes free there really isn’t any point in downloading it. A wasted opportunity indeed, especially when so much effort was put into making it look so good.
