Evasion - VR Gameplay HTC Vive
23Is Evasion a hit, or did it miss the mark?
How do you translate the top down bullet hell shoot em up genre to VR? You do what Evasion did. Spoilers, Evasion was a hell of a lot of fun!
Evasion excels in most areas.
The music got me pumped up and ready to blow shit up. The way that stuff blew up was beautiful. The scenery around my was great. The "cinematics" were well done (for what they were...)
The voice acting and the humor was great. While there were only 2 NPCs, I loved the attitudes they had.
There was a good flow to the action of the game. I never felt like I wasn't actively doing something or waiting around and sometimes just blowing up the scenery was entertaining.
There are 4 classes, each with their own weapons and abilities. I only played one of those classes but after a minute of figuring out how my weapon functioned, I fell in love with it.
I have a feeling co-op multiplayer in this game with a close friend would be a blast. I didn't try it out but it's a feeling I get similar to how Borderlands or Smash is better with people to shit talk.
Pretty much everything was great. That doesn't mean everything was great though...
Content is lacking for the $40 price tag. It's great that there's a wave shooter mode but at this point, how many of us aren't burned out on those? I know I won't play more than the campaign. Unfortunately a liberal estimate of the campaign mode puts it at 3-4 hours which is still in line with the cost of a couple movies but it's going to be a hard pill to swallow when there are cheaper games with more content.
For me, the quality of the content makes the price tag worth it but I do still think it's a bit steep for the game. Definitely look for sales if you're on the fence.
Aside from the price, the difficulty levels that were introduced in the last update (1.03) still need tweaking. I didn't have to focus or try hard enough to breeze through Bullet Hell, the highest difficulty. As much as I'd love to think so, I'm not all that good and shouldn't have been able to progress as easily as I did.
Overall the content is the real deterrent to this game and why some people may not want to pick it up. I had fun with the game and I'll be recommending it however be aware that this is a one and done sort of game. Once you burn through the campaign you're not likely to pick it up again.
