![]() The first wave started, and zombies began appearing all around me, emerging from the ground. The first kill has been the trigger that launched the first wave of enemies (and also served as a mini-tutorial). Being the cool hero Chuck Steelballz, I immediately knew what to do: shoot that damn zombie into his head! Bam! Headshot, 200 points! The zombie at the beginning of the game, looking at me with this stupid face. Look how the graphics are good, but not greatĪt my left, I saw a bow, so I picked it up with my left controller and an arrow appeared on my right hand. Because yes, in this game you are a B-movie hero called Chuck Steelballz (ahahahh a very funny name) that finds himself inside the zombies/vampires/monsters apocalypse and has to save his city and its inhabitants from the invasion. The game tries to be a parody of a B-movie and in a B-movie, graphics surely are not perfect. I started noticing the graphical quality of the game: it was good and neat, but not the best one I’ve seen in a VR game. In front of me, there was a zombie, that didn’t move. I found myself in an elevated platform inside a deserted city. When I launched the first level of the game, I’ve been teleported inside the game. ![]() Press a key to continue, baby! Notice that the game character is the same that I see reflected in the mirror… Kudos to Avatarico devs for this idea! The projected game that can be controlled with the remote. But the thing that astonished me the most about it is the fact that it is an immersive 2D menu! All others immersive menus I’ve seen are in 3D, while this one is a 2D one but it fits perfectly into the intro environment. I loved this menu because it is immersive, that is, it is part of the gaming experience (it is on the wall and you command it using the remote you have in your hand) as I’ve already seen in various games ( Sneaky Bears VR, Face Your Fears, VRobot). In this intro room I’ve been really delighted by the developers: at first the mirror and then this genius menu idea. With the control, I was able to navigate into the game menu… which, guess what, was actually the menu of this game. I understood that the remote I was holding in my hand was the remote control of the projector that was projecting an 8-bit game on the wall. I remember having more beard, but that’s ok anyway □Īfter having played a bit with my mirrored self, I decided to go on with the game. Here I am, as I see myself through the mirror. Wow, I could see my full body reflecting my poses! Of course, using just a standard Oculus setup, the game made its best to emulate my full pose using inverse kinematics but was cool nonetheless. In my hand I had a remote… what was I supposed to do with that? I looked around and seen various stuff, but then I’ve been attracted by the mirror at my left. I was like in a caravan, that was running through a snowy forest. The game surprised me since the beginning.
