Description: Monster Showdown: Prologue is the first 3 maps of an action packed VR shooter. Increase your chances of survival against an ever growing horde of monster by exploring your environment and strengthening yourself by picking up Perks, Ranged Weapons and Melee Weapons.
Review: To be honest I am pretty sick and tired of wave shooters at the moment and ‘Monster Showdown: Prologue’ is just that. In short, you have to survive as long as you can inside each level. You can exit that said level after a certain point, but you mostly just keep going until you die. The good news is this is a pretty polished shooter and it looks fantastic even if the AI is a little lacklustre. You use doughnuts for energy and cash from each kill to buy things which is where this game steps things up a bit because it is the guns that are the stars of the show.
With over 60 guns and melee weapons you will be shooting a 6-shooter one minute and firing rockets the next and when the enemy count starts to rise this game does get action-packed and a real fight for survival. Each gun feels great and the “flick to reload” method feels great. To be honest there is plenty to see and do inside this Prologue and I will be looking forward to the main game. This gets an easy thumbs up from me and I just hope the full-game isn’t too overpriced given the wave-shooter saturated VR games market we are currently in.
