Our take on AGAINST
The store presentation gives equal weight to the campaign, atmosphere, and custom editor, but the core campaign is only 7 levels. That makes the editor and repeated custom-map play central to the listed scope, rather than a minor extra.
What is AGAINST?
AGAINST is a VR rhythm game set in a dark comic-style version of 1930s America.
Players follow music while shooting and slicing Dr. Vice’s henchmen, dodging hazards, and running along walls. The arsenal includes a sword, gun, brass knuckles, and Tommy Gun, with combat actions timed to the beat. A story campaign follows a detective investigating Dr. Vice across 7 levels, each ending with a boss encounter and playable at 3 difficulty settings. Comic-book scenes present the investigation between chapters. The included Beatmap Editor lets players build custom maps with their own music by arranging enemies, weapons, and obstacles in time with the track, then play those maps in the game.
