Description: Nekrotronic VR is an intensely immersive sci-fi shoot ‘em up. Featuring insane action and creepy ghosts from the feature film Nekrotronic, this VRexperience will get your heart pumping and your hair standing on end. In this hyper-realistic first person shooter, players experience what it’s like to be a Nekromancer: hunt Ghost-Wraiths, dodge their stealth attacks from the shadows, operate sci-fi technology, 3D print demons and destroy them all with big, bad plasma rifles.
Review: I just don’t know what to say about ‘NEKROTRONIC VR’. It has this grand build-up with an awesome intro and then…well…nothing. I get that this is little more than a free interactive trailer for the film, but it could have had a little bit of effort thrown at it. It looks OK I suppose for a freebie, but the gameplay is pretty much non-existent, to the point that it would have been better for the developers to make a cinematic experience rather than a playable one. It’s still worth a look for a freebie I suppose, but I get the feeling even fans of the movie will be left feeling disappointed.
