Description: Antiprism is a single-player twin-ship shoot’em’up exclusively for VR. Upgrade your ships, dodge projectiles, use special abilities and defeat swarms of different enemy types and challenging bosses.

Review: ‘Antiprism’ is a space themed Shoot ‘Em Up that sees you start with two space guns attached to each control and you need to take down anything that comes near you. If you have ever played games like R-Type you will know exactly where this game is coming from. While it is mostly set in the darkness of space there is still some good particle effects to be enjoyed here, especially once you have upgraded your weapons.

Sadly the lack of variety in playing environment means you will get bored of this game VERY quickly. Sure, there are a few modes to play, but it never really mixes it up and within just a few waves of enemies you would have seen all this game has to offer. To be completely honest the £13.99 is a joke, but yet I like this style of game and indeed I enjoyed playing it. But boy do I wish it was a lot cheaper, so until it is I will not be recommending this game to anyone.
