Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking gentle combat may hit a wall with gameplay described as difficult and encounters featuring many opponents
- Players who prefer to avoid boss fights may bounce off the boss encounter at the end of every chapter
- Players looking for a non-VR game will not find a non-VR version described here
Our take on The Purge Day
The likely bounce point is the demanding combat: players who find the fights against numerous opponents difficult may struggle before reaching the boss that closes each chapter. The exclusive VR format is another firm boundary for anyone seeking a non-VR game.
