    At this time this game is not user friendly for the HTC Vive Experience. They say it is in “BETA” for Vive and should be fixed shortly. The height control is off to the point it is impossible to aim below you because your head is in the ceiling. I have tried out about 40 games for the vive and this was probably tied for first on the nausea factor due to: simultaneous head movement and mouse movement, as well as the 45-degree jerk left/right with q/e (especially when trying to turn around on an…

    Futuristic FPS where you play as a robot fighting hordes of hostile machines in an abandoned military base ✅3 difficulty levels ✅Dynamic and intense combat against waves of enemies ✅Aerial movement capabilities ✅3 classes: Engineer, Assault, and Specialist, each with 2 abilities. ✅Need to switch weapons based on the enemy type. ✅Diverse robots with varying behaviors and durability levels. ❌Limited variety of missions and game modes ❌The price shouldn't exceed $1 due to the repetitive nature…

    The trick to truly appreciate the experience, besides an Oculus Rift, is to fly. Damn, press that A button, start flying and smash your laz0rs in the face of the droids. Nice to "relax" after a hard work day, when you want just to see things explode.

    I would not recommend this game. But that's because I get really fast motion sick while playing this game just for minutes. The game itself is fast pacing and looks nice. People which aren't much affected by motion sickness will this game. A Teleport function would be great for VR.

    Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Xbox One gamepad This game is proof that if you have a bad game, adding VR will not make it a good game. This is a wave based shooter where you can control a ship and either move on the ground or fly in the air. There is no tutorial so you'll have to figure things out on your own. You basically have 5 waves to survive in an area with 15 enemies in each wave that get progressively harder. If you get to the end, you unlock a new area where you'll do the same…

    This game gets dull in about 10 minutes. Being able to fly is a lot of fun but the game very quickly just becomes about backpeddling endlessly while shooting a variety of weapons that all feel underwhelming. Added to this is the fact that enemies can spawn anywhere you're not looking, meaning most of your enemies are always behind you. The music matches the theme, but it's too grating to take for very long. It suffers like most vr games from being a single idea quickly thrown together to cash…

    This game has some really nice stuff going on. Nice aesthetic, responsive controls, FUN flying. What has impressed me most is how responsive and quick the dev is to fix bugs. At its price, you can't go wrong with this game. If you have an issue, tell the dev and it will likely be fixed within the next 2 days!

    I'm playing without VR headset... During the first hour I managed to get up to the fifth wave :( I'm a noob! By the way the game is very dynamic and so addictive, I expecially like the flight that is very quick to charge and therefore can always be used. I would definitely recommend it !

    This game is really fun, and for the price it's even better! It's not some 600 hour adventure game, but this is the best I've seen non-vehicle based shooting action handled in VR. -Shooting feels great aiming with your eyes in combination with the controller--in the same way that streamlined motion controls can feel great on many console shooters, HMD+Stick feels great here. -Having 3 classes to pick from with two unique skills is fun because it makes the same content play so differently…

    A First Person Shooter Action Arena VR Game https://youtu.be/VXLuuGMfzuk + The game has a nice cyberpunk vibe, with sort of a futuristic looking environments with bright neon colored lights + Some nice upbeat electronic / cyberpunk style background music that fit with the action + 3 different classes to choose with unique abilities + A jetpack that allows you to fly around the map to get to high areas - You can't play with a controller unless you have a VR headset, which is a shame as I feel…

    Kill-the-waves based gamplay. Gaze based aiming. Motion sickness.

    If you're thinking of playing this because you have a Vive, just don't. Only mouse and keyboard support, poor interface, no headphones support and some of the quickest motion sickness I've experienced to date. Just, don't. Edit: Turns out you have to play it for more than 5 minutes and I only have 3. That's how quick it gets to you.

    Keyboard and mouse control with the Vive is terrible. I couldn't find any way to find the controls. F1 to reset your VR position, I think 1 and 2 are your class abilities. Neat tech demo, and I guess 3$ isn't too much (even less as part of the indie bundle), but chunky, undescribed controls and weird collision detection and no hit notification... not my cup of tea. - vive + m/kb

    Very good game! It's very beautiful play with my Vive with this frenzy!!! When the game became more hard, you have a lot of enemy to kill and you have to look around you every seconds! Very nice!

    Mind Unleashed is a science-fiction shooter developed by Frost Earth Studio and published by IV Productions, designed primarily as a virtual reality action experience that places players in the middle of a futuristic combat simulation. Unlike narrative-heavy shooters that emphasize storytelling or large campaign structures, Mind Unleashed focuses almost entirely on moment-to-moment survival gameplay. Its design centers around fast-paced arena combat where players must defend themselves against…

    Used in VIVE - Good little FPS shooter, played with an Xbox gamepad. Very simple but fun. However the level of nausea is pretty high, I could only manage a few minutes. If you can get past that, its cheap, and worth a try.

    I'm chaging my review to positive in light of the developer's effort into making the game basically playable with the mouse, having resolved the fact that the mouse pitch axis was interfering with the VR pitch axis. This is by all means a small budget-game shooter, with the added value of running in VR. All in all it's an ok experience. Pros 1) Has potential to be a simple straight up shooter. 2) Cool hover mechanic 3) Simple way to introduce yourself to first person VR Cons 1) Shields and…

    Garbage with horrible movement feel and dull enemies that mindlessly approach in a straight line. Some of the enemies look like old electric razors that fly or robot vacuum cleaners etc. Graphics style is kinda interesting but not enough to make me want to keep playing this.

    Woooooooooow what a disappointing experience... Played with the HTC VIVE >>> No proper motion controllers support, almost no updates or support... This is amateurish but in a bad way. Don't buy this, even for a buck. :-(
