Our take on HordeZ
The bounce point comes when players expect survival simulation systems. HordeZ keeps the focus on hand aiming, reflexes, enemy waves and level completion, so that expectation may stop the game from working for them.
What is HordeZ?
HordeZ is a VR rail shooter in which players face repeated waves of zombies and demons, clear each level and try to survive.
Combat uses hand aiming and reflexes with weapons such as a katana, pistols, machine guns and grenades. The game includes 8 levels with different scenes and enemy setups, 6 enemy types and 5 difficulty levels, ranging from beginner to hardcore. Players can fight alone or join a friend in co-op. Global leaderboards record results for score comparisons. Room-scale VR and standing play are supported. HordeZ focuses on direct arcade shooting rather than a complex survival simulation.
