Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a quiet or low-pressure experience may hit a wall when facing the growing monster horde.
- Players who want a fixed weapon setup may bounce off the weapon dispenser, chance-based box, upgrades, and modifiers.
- Players looking for climbing, puzzle-solving, or meditative exploration will not find those as the central activity.
- Players seeking multiplayer shooting may prefer a game such as Abyssus, whose description specifies multiplayer combat.
Our take on Monster Showdown
The bounce point arrives when weapon choice becomes part of survival: players must decide between a dispenser offering more than 60 weapons and the enigmatic box's chance-based draw. Those who dislike random acquisition alongside upgrades, perks, and modifiers may stop there.
What is Monster Showdown?
Fight an expanding horde of monsters in a VR shooter by exploring stages and collecting Perks, ranged weapons, and melee weapons.
Choose from more than 60 weapons at a wall dispenser, or use an enigmatic box for a chance at a gun with high strength. Melee attacks use VR controller swings, with damage tied to swing skill. Defeating monsters and repairing barriers provides currency for weapon upgrades and Perk Donuts from a vending machine. Stages span different points in space and time, with some featuring unique monsters and bosses. The game includes both short challenge-focused stages and larger areas built for exploration. Completing objectives unlocks modifiers that can randomize perk and weapon placement or add changes such as big-head mode.
