As we announced on launch day ,Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope arrives with an Early Access version in Steam several weeks ago (and now also available in Oculus store), but has not been until now that we have received the Oculus Touch controllers when we could try out the new Serious Sam, title that we really wanted for our beautiful relationship in the past with the saga.
This time, while maintaining its first-person view, we find a hordes and survival game from a fixed point, teniendo «solo» que preocuparnos de matar, matar y matar. Y menos mal… tenemos que añadir.
Crazy action and enemies everywhere in Serious Sam VR
If you don't know the series, we will say that usually is an action game FPS where we can't stop firing or moving a moment , pues los enemigos en pantalla aparecen a montones, con lo que si juntáramos la jugabilidad clásica con la realidad virtual llegaríamos a conocer un nuevo nivel del llamado «mareo de movimiento»…
Luckily, the change in the type of game has not sat for bad and Croteam and Devolver Digital have kept the essence of kill enemies coming from all sides but in a more suited say adapted to the VR medium: Horde mode from a fixed point. Buy yes, we warned that we neither be able to stop for a second, having to wait to get finish each level in order to rest and replenish ammunition and weapons to be ready for the next screen.
The game require to have motion controllers to play, using each hand to wield a different weapon, which makes it a great experience in both Vive and Rift. However, always having in mind that we won't find nothing revolutionary in its gameplay because many Virtual Reality games have adopted this format, so Serious Sam VR highlights by its frantic action, for belonging to a mythical saga, and the different amount of weapons and enemies that we find. Here you can see a gameplay we've recorded:
This Early Access version allows us to get a good idea of what the final game be, because the main difference will be the amount of everything we find. Currently the game has two planets with 8 locations and 2 bosses, plus 20 types of enemies and 10 different weapons, which already if you will have game for a while.
The final version will include more planets, levels, enemies, weapons, power-ups, bosses, difficulty levels, modes... elements that will be coming (along with several improvements of all kinds) gradually to the current Early access buyers so they can keep trying all the news, as the recent built online cooperative mode for 2 players or the two new difficulty modes for beginners and experts.
