    I think the decision to make walkers take multiple head shots to take down is a decision so detrimental that it completely ruined the game.

    I played it with the quest 3 and the hands looked very weird like rotated in a sense. I also couldn't find a correct binding so I wasn't able to finish even the tutorial. Please fix this I'm a huge TWD fan and I really wanted to play this game after finishing both saints and sinners!

    Although I enjoyed my time, this was mostly because I am a huge fan of the walking dead and in particular Ricky dicky doo dah Grimes. The fact that walkers can die from body damage and sometimes take multiple headshots ruins this adaptation however. The two-handed weapons feel wonky, with not enough range even if the weapon visibly hits, it will often go through without damaging the walker. The one-handed blunt weapons suffer this problem aswell. Sadly the story leaves much to be desired,…

    This game isn't bad. It really isn't. It's just when other zombie VR games do most everything better, it's hard to justify buying this. BUT I will say, if you're in the market for a VR zombie shooter/melee game AND you LOVE the Walking Dead characters AND this is on a deep sale AND you already played/beat the other zombie VR games (Saints and Sinners/Arizona Sunshine/After the Fall/SURV1V3). Give it a shot.

    Okay I'm gonna try to be honest here,but i don't write many reviews so i'll just start. TWD: Onslaught is a good game whether you disagree or not. It takes place in the universe of it's show with the recognizable characters. It has a sort of mobile game setup where you can go out for supplies and use those to upgrade and build Alexandria. Despite that it uses this well, with it's combat, upgrade system for weapons, and story. I would say it is not worth it's $30 tag price though so i would…

    This title is amazing if you work out on a VR treadmill. An absolute must buy for and KatVR user. It's more of an arcade style game at times, but overall i was very satisfied with this title. Unlike the wildly more popular, Walking Dead: Saints & Sinner's series, this one doesn't focus on the open world survivor element. This is its own game with a dedicated story and the option to do supply runs in order to boost your killing ability. You can select different courses to charge through from…

    I don't write many reviews but when I see a games getting unfair negative reviews It makes me more incline to it. This game is not as polished as Saints & Sinners of course, but it captures an arcade vibe and the Melee is especially fun. Yes you can't one shot Zombies right off the bat, however as you upgrade you're weapons it can get hella satisfying and easier to do that. Takes an hour or so to get used to the Mechanics (like most VR games) but been having a good time with it and I was lucky…

    A decent game that isn't perfect but ain't bad either ..if you have a RV you can play it unfortunately if you don't this game can't be played ..you can enter and see things but not worthy as you will reach a point where you can't progress without RV ..but is still good to have it in your gaming collection if you love Walking Dead.

    Cool gun sight mechanic, but movement is limited—no jumping or climbing to reach high places (basically no parkour), which was done frequently in the series. The game also randomly stops tracking the controllers. Abandoned and deceived.

    Such a shame... As soon as I booted the game up the characters hands were all bent in pointing towards the body. In order to aim the gun in the tutorial I had to tilt my own physical hand at the ceiling in order to fire straight in the game. Difficulty in grabbing Zombies in Tutorial as well as changing weapons. I never got out of the tutorial part and I even tried a reboot with no cure. Actioned a refund on this only played for 4 minutes as thats all I could take, refund requested.…

    Honestly, It's not a bad game, it's okay, I guess, but unfortunately, it's not for my style, it feels more like playing a mobile game, the melee combat is good but not as good as TWD: Saints and Sinner, and the ammo in this game is too low, so I kept using my melee weapons more than guns, and the subtitle is in the center of my view, it's annoying 4.5/10

    Totally underrated gem, especially if you're a fan of TWD. I've had both Saints and Sinners games on my Quest 2 for sometime now and every time I've tried to play it, I could never get into it. The melee combat and gunplay in Onslaught is superior, the zombies move and look better and are far more unsettling. It's got characters you know and love. I like the the story mode with Darryl, even though you can beat the story in less than 8 hours, It's a VR game, I don't expect to be standing here…

    Damn, sadly came to this game immediately after completing some amazing VR mods and it really highlights how janky and rough TWD:O is in comparison. I feel so conflicted. The universe it there, some solid VA work is there, and I could see myself really getting lost in the mission-based scavenging etc. There's enough good to make me really miss the excellent. Controls are just too unreliable, movement is slow to the point that they overshoot zombie tension and land in painful slog, interaction…

    Super Fun zombie VR Game that is more fun than arizona sunshine. it being in unreal engine has it's perks of it looking amazing, dynamic shadows, the player casts a shadow + the arm movement as well! Good HD models, fun weapon play, fun ragdolls, good gun-play. (wish I could manually reload). This a type of arcadey zombie game, but it's still fun to play, it has good optimization and everything.

    i mean, its a good game n all. but the melee combat is what makes me hate this game. Knives get stuck in walkers so easily and take a long time to take out of a head. also the bite mechanic is bad. I wish they did something similar to saints and sinners where you have to shake them off instead of pushing them away with your hands. Get saints and sinners. Not this.

    First thing, This isn't like The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. The weapon feel and everything is different, I recommend Saints & Sinners more but when this (Onslaught) is on sale (40+%) I would say to buy.. or buy a code online. The original version of the game was trash by looking at past reviews but the current build is unique and playable, some features are annoying such as waiting time for a sharp weapon to leave a walker and that weapons that use two hands require some pulling to…

    The Walking Dead Onslaught is a VR action game built around close-quarters combat, scavenging, and short mission loops set in the universe of the television series. It focuses on delivering an immersive first-person experience where players fight through zombie-infested environments while gathering resources to support the settlement of Alexandria. The structure prioritizes repeated excursions rather than a linear, story-heavy campaign. The narrative is framed by conversations between key…

    I got this because I really enjoyed TWD Saints and Sinners and I was hoping it would be similar but unfortunately not. The controls aren't great, they are very janky and doesn't really give the player much customisation. Having to shoot walkers in the head more then once is a bit of a buzz kill. Takes too long to pull a knife from walkers heads. I'm also not a fan of being rushed through the missions, its nice for the odd mission here and there but not for the majority. I think with more…

    HORRIBLE start. After the first mission there's no pistol and knife in the armory (no, it's just NOT there). It's a glitch in the game. The teleporting movement is SO CLUNKY and BAD. This game embodies the "rubbery arms" effect that newer games have managed to avoid (i.e. Alyx). Until i see better, massive thumbs down rating. Ten minutes into the game and i'm ready to flush it.

    Its a decent short story that I would say is worth trying. I wouldn't buy this at full price I would wait for it to go on sale like I did. The combat it pretty good but it gets repetitive when all your doing it killing zombies and only zombies, there are no humans that you get to kill. Overall its a game worth playing but its not going to be the best game your ganna play.

The Walking Dead Onslaught - highlights: - One of the most (if not the most) awful, uninspiring and unimmersive gunplay ever seen in a VR game (makes games such as AZ Sunshine and KF Incursion look like triple A gun simulators).

It's not your typical open-world zombie VR game, it'd linear semi open I guess? I'm not too sure but the game is super fun, I haven't tried any mods, just straight vanilla and I'm honestly having such a good time, the base building and what-not kinda reminds me of State of Decay 2 and I honestly just think its a fun game, there are some quirks…

    10 hrs on record (100% completion) More of an arcade take on The Walking Dead. The story’s the highlight, with TV show characters carrying the experience, but missions are short and linear. I used the hammer because I’d seen it was the best tool, and it really is. Despite the simplicity, treating it as a quick VR apocalypse run rather than a deep survival sim makes it enjoyable enough. TL;DR: Shallow but fun. A short, story-driven VR spin that’s worth a one-time play. (6/10)

    I love The Walking Dead franchise, but this game is so bad that even a big fan like me can't enjoy it. The biggest problems, in my opinion, are the optimisation, controls, and movement — they feel like they weren’t designed for VR. There are some nice ideas, and scavenging could be fun, but with these controls, it’s almost impossible to enjoy. Try it if you see it at 85% off or more — it’s not worth paying more than that.
