Description: You wake up in the stasis chamber after your ship crashed. You realise, that during your stasis, the spaceship was attacked by aliens and mutants and space virus killed whole spaceship crew. “But are they really dead?…..” Space of Death is horror shooter and exploration game. Grab your gun, explore the spaceship, survive and escape from the ship. You will explore the destroyed spaceship, find weapons and find way out.

Review: One day I was hoping to see an Aliens game in VR and apparently it is on its way. But in the meanwhile, I am still craving some monster shooting space action, so its a good job Space of Death come along to try and fill that gap. It’s your classic story. You wake up in the stasis chamber and the ship has crashed. Sadly you are the only survivor and the rest of the crew have turned into monsters.

You will have to shoot your way out of the ship while also exploring and trying to survive. You get 19 levels of horror to survive in, but at least you get 6 different weapons to kill them with. Using the Gamepad and played in a first person style you will find this game a little nauseating, but going slow and steady will cut most of the VR sickness out and it will also help to add to the tension of the game. While most of the time the monsters/zombies are pretty placid and slow moving there are some darker scenes that will cause a few jump scares even though they move at half the speed you can. It’s just not worth even the smallest of asking prices at the moment, but with some work that could well change.
