44 of 44 · most liked firstYes it's a wave shooter but i've never played anything like it ... It's just very very very well made and very very worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Contrary to popular opinion, I'm a big fan of wave shooters. But they have to get the basics right. In my book, SPT is a perfect example of nailing the core mechanics (despite some aggravating bugs), and not much more. Still. it's enough to make me spend countless hours chasing highscores. I could write quite a few paragraphs about where D. Wilde (Steam censors the title lol) drops the ball to various degrees, but there's one single issue that just totally eclipses everything else. You have 1…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and polished. Big variety of monsters, weapon choices, and maps. Hoping we can see more of this in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkLh1dtnRv4 It might be another wave shooter but it's better than most. Ran into little to no bugs/glitches and everything works. I love the variety of weapons, some which you rarely see in shooters and have quite a bit of creativity behind them. I also like the funny Hillbilly theme its got going, and the level design (like the murky swamp) support that narrative well. The game offers a good challenge too, with later waves having enemies that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome VR title that I nabbed on sale based off the name alone. Really like the art and the main guy made me chuckle a few times. Didn't get any motion sickness either. Really addictive, looking forward to trying out the Party mode with some mates when we all get some time!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most realistic Florida Man simulator.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Context: I'm playing this on a Quest 2 through Oculus Link via a 3rd-party 16' USB-C cable from Amazon. This is a great VR arena shooter! Similar to the light-gun games of yore (Time Crisis, House of the Dead, etc.), enemies pop up in the distance, and it's your job to shoot them before they get to you. Thanks to VR, though, there's a little more to it than that. First of all, you have 2 hands, which will be used either for 2 weapons, a weapon and a shield, or both hands on a single weapon…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, a very fun, pretty, and cute wave shooter. Global leaderboard for each level and weapon really makes this game shine. A no brainer purchase for under 20 bucks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ Wilde - Probably the most redneck VR game out there, but man, did I have a ton of fun with a bunch of friends inviting them over for BBQ and some VR after. Party mode in this game just made it that much more fun, passing the Vr headset and controllers from person to person and trying to beat each other's scores. Once you "get gud", this game is still a challenge keeping you on your toes, but definitely a great game to play. Recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game seems like it'd be just another cheesy wave shooter, and it kinda is... What sets it apart is the hillbilly/swamp aesthetic and the enemies and attack patterns of those enemies. Also the weapon selection is pretty unique too. For comparison sake I'll use Space Pirate Trainer (SPT) if there's any similarities or differences I feel are worth mentioning. Otherwise this will just be a normal review. Like SPT you fight from a platform that suits the aesthetic. Here you're on some kind…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ran into the team at Pax East, tried the game and really enjoyed it. Fast forward I have only played it briefly, but instantly i know it's a game I will come back too time and again. For me it just reminds me of old school arcade shooter which I love, and the combination of different weapons, powerups and other eleemnts makes it stand above others. The only thing I can see turning people off is really just the title of the game, where it's not just another sci-fi shooter people might pass it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GTX 1060 gameplay: (With Commentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFlkI-98VCc My Thoughts: (Watch the video above for my initial impressions) Great cartoon style graphics and visuals. ♥♥♥♥ Wilde is a quirky and enjoyable wave based shooter in VR. The game features a host of different weapons, locations, play styles and difficulties. I had a blast! Game Details: Those pesky swamp critters are at it again! Scarin’ off all the good folk who just want to go huntin’ and fishin’ on their lakes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hilarious and well-made wave shooter. Among the best! A little pricey though..
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic and actually challenging!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only remarkable thing about this game is that it has the lewdest name of a non-adult game in my library. Early VR was completely overrun by rail shooters and this game wasn't helping the situation. The real problem though is this isn't even a rail shooter but a light gun game; I'm pretty sure someone already had this game built for an arcade then ported it to VR because it's definitely missing something to make it palatable for any audience. Either way, it's just another boring VR shooter…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the best game named ♥♥♥♥ wilde you will ever play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess the reviews are soo good because its older but its a way worse game than number 2 or other rails shooters. The difficulty is stupidly high and the powerup/progression systems kinda suck. Get Shooty Fruity instead - you wont regret it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ Wilde is a great wave shooter. It offer a nice variety of weapons, amazing graphics and is well polished and bug free. However, while I definitely recommend this game for expert players fan of the genre.... this game is way too harsh for common people. The difficulty is so harsh that I spent an entire hour stuck on the first level. This difficulty also mean you might only be able to get some fun on the first 2 levels and will never unlock the other 7. ♥♥♥♥ Wilde is a great game, but I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a waveshooter, but a very good one. All weapons feel different and fun to use and the enemies are diverse. It's very challenging, but not unfair.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best VR game I've tried to date! The recipe is quite simple but it is really well followed through. The games are really fun and the variety of creeps is super awesome. ... come on charge you stupid controllers so I can kill more! There are some minor bugs in the game, but seeing since this is release day, I'm confident they will be cleared up soon. Cletus for president y'all !!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ Wilde is a VR arcade shooter focused on fast reflexes, environmental hazards, and lighthearted humor. Built for motion controllers, it delivers short bursts of action rather than narrative depth, emphasizing pure shooting skill and stage mastery. Players take on the role of ♥♥♥♥ Wilde, a caricatured swamp exterminator tasked with clearing out waves of mutated animals and monsters. The premise is intentionally absurd, setting a comedic tone that fits its over-the-top style and chaotic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very entertaining but extremely difficult. I am asking if the devs can add an option to switch hands for some weapons... not everyone is right handed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my favorite shooter for VR. It's well polished and more fun than others like space pirate trainer. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more reviews.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game feels like an old arcade game and I'm loving it. It's your base of a wave shooter with the added elements of a wide variety of enemies, timed shots, evasion, and tons more. Re-playable, perfect for parties as the concept is pretty simple and super easy to pick up intuitively. Give it a try, it's a ton og fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This series is one of the best and most underrated wave shooters on steam. (I know I've played a ton of them). It's pretty damn hard, even on normal. Lots of fun to be had. I always like to waste a few minutes here or there just playing around in the main menu. It's a VR wave shooter...so you know, don't expect big things. Lots of weapon variety, tons of tough enemies, and a really unique aesthetic. Seriously underrated. Also incredibly difficult. The people who come anywhere close to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fairly simple yet vastly enjoyable arcade shooter for VR. It's the design that makes this so fun - homemade weapons for shooting gators and sharks, and funny quips to go with it. Very cartoony.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reminds me of games I used to spend a lot of money in arcades to play. Very solid experience that runs smooth and the variety in weapons, enemies, and areas makes the replay value on this game very high. I just spent over an hour in my first sitting and time flew by. The visuals combined with the sounds and music really add to the polished feel of this game. A must-have for any VR gamer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great fun atmosphere! Haven't completed it, but played around 15 hours and still having fun :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥ Wilde is a loud, chaotic, and unapologetically arcade-styled wave shooter developed by Bolverk Games, designed first and foremost as a VR spectacle built on fast reflexes, oversized weaponry, and goofy swamp-monster mayhem. Rather than leaning on realism or gritty action, the game embraces its cartoonish premise with full enthusiasm: you take on the role of ♥♥♥♥ Wilde, a backwoods exterminator who deals with mutated wildlife by blasting, zapping, and shredding anything that slithers,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'm dickin' it so wildely
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My first wave shooter and probably one of my favorites. Surprised the reviews are low. This indicates low sales, I know there's a sequel but this one is tops.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ótimo shooter para VR, jogo muito polido e com bons gráficos cartunizados. Achei a dificuldade um pouco desafiadora de mais com algumas armas, mas no geral é um jogo bacana para passar um tempo. Senti falta de ter alguma progressão no jogo e também de um pouco mais de variedade de inimigos, mas acredito que a proposta do jogo é ser simples, e mesmo simples, é um ótimo jogo para se pegar numa promoção como a que peguei, pagando R$ 5,00. Sinceramente, não vale os R$ 28,99 cobrados.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fine, I guess. Not much to speak of, gameplay is pretty repetitive but it's good for 20 minutes if you're bored.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game years ago on PlayStation 4 VR. It was quick instant gratification fun to share with the family and take turns beating each other’s scores. After returning on my Meta Quest 3 I noticed that easy level is so difficult that I can’t advance any further than the first spot in the swamp. Just wave after wave coming at me. Part 2 is easier and better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is ridiculously hard, and no, it's not that I'm bad. Weapons are not powerful enough and there are way too many ennemies. Can't even complete all 10 waves of the first level. Don't bother.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny little game but Buy it in a bundle for a few dollar.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →definitely a fun wave shooter vr game. Play it with the oculus quest 2 work up a sweat and have a blast. make stuff go boom! your choice of weapons but i like the launcher where everything goes boom!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Richard Wilde is probably the most underrated wave shooter out there for VR. Plenty of great-feeling guns, fun & colorful environments & enemies with style & charm, and most importantly, just great gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fabulous. 10 / 10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I could only play this using Steam VR which I didn't want to use for my Oculus. The game was fun but very hard, I enjoyed it. Not recommending it because of Steam VR.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, polished, clever, and many levels and weapons. There are a lot of VR wave shooters out there, but this is definitely one of the best.
