VINDICTA is an incredibly fun FPS that is a serious contender for best VR game I've plated so far. I was pleasantly surprised by how polished the game looks despite still being in Early Access, the graphics are great. I really appreciate that there are various options for movement (swinging your arms or using the trackpad). Combat feels fluid and it's very easy to get used to the mechanics, even for someone who (like me) doesn't usually play FPSs.

I did run into some issues (most notably, the world appears much bigger than it should and I can barely reach keyholes - I was able to work around this by changing height via OpenVR Advanced Settings), but after contacting the developers it's evident that they're actively working hard on improving the game. Overall, I definitely recommend this game even in its current state, and I believe it will get much better in the future.. Right now I'd give this a 3.5/5. It's good for the most part. There are some glitches (key cards didn't work until I clicked the left thumbstick to take me to the SteamVR overlay and then click out) but nothing major.

LOCOMOTION:
I LOVE arm-swinger locomotion and will buy almost any VR game that has it, but the arm-swinger here is kind of like stumbling around drunk. You can only move forward. This game would be INFINITELY IMPROVED if you could control the direction of your movements based on where your thumb is on the trackpad.

You want to walk backwards? Place your thumb on the bottom of the trackpad and swing your arms. Want to strafe to the right while you're shooting? Place your thumb on the right side of the trackpad and swing one arm while you shoot with the other.

So, yeah. The locomotion is both the best part about this game and what's holding it back the most.

DIFFICULTY:

Most of the enemies are fairly simple to defeat. However, some of them are fast movers--like the golden crawling exploding bugs--and/or shoot very fast--like the flying drones--so it's easy for you to take a ton of damage and die quickly.

WEAPONS:
Personally, I'd ditch ammo packs altogether and have infinite ammo with cooldowns. Fun factor should always come first in games like this.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Right now this game is better than average but can be great with some tweaks to the locomotion method. Maybe ditch the health packs and just have regenerating health with more enemies to up the excitement level.. Vindicta is an amazingly fun, well polished and immersive arcade style first person shooter.

1. Graphics
The graphics are cartoony and provide a fun environment to run around in. They effects, explosions, and animations are all spot on and relay a whimsical yet action packed feeling to the game. The textures are nice although low res in some spots but nothing immersion breaking. The frame rate subsequently is quite high. Clipping in the game is generally spot on.

2. Sound
The music in the game provides a fair pace to the action. The sound effects for the weapons , enemies and explosions provides a nice setting and feeling. The guns sounds appropriately chunky. The enemies die in metal crunching and bolt spewing tones.

3. Level design
The levels are varied in both environment and architecture. They provide a solid platform to fight on, with differing vetical firefights ensuing, platforms and walls to duck and hide behind. I felt some of the hallways were a bit overly long to traverse after killing the room. The hallways are wide enough to not feel confined. There are certain parts in later levels where you do need to watch you step or fall to insta-death.

4. Gameplay
This is where Vindicta truly shines. The guns are really really spot on and accurate, especially the pistol. The machine and sub machine guns are super fun to use, although some require two hands which makes it a little tough to switch guns during a heavy firefight. There is a serious lack of ammo in the game , which only really appears around well placed checkpoints - markers in the level which allow you to start there instead of the beginning. A great feature , no doubt in an arcade type game where you can die very quickly if you rush around into a ton of enemies. The enemy types are quite diverse , ranging from regular grunt robots to flying drones that surround you, to the new fire throwing robot. Some robots lob mortars at you which makes it tough to get past them with low ammo. This game is ALL ABOUT ammo management. Having poor aim is a serious detriment ; you need to git gud. The levels are long and provide quite a fun challenge, ramping up in each stage to an almost madness level of fighting near the end of each level. The power ups are infrequent but there is the occasional shield and other interesting gizmos. There are also parkour elements such as overhead climb and pulling yourself across ceiling with no floor - these parts are nail biting and tense as you can fall to your doom if you rush. Try that while out of ammo having 30 robots shooting at you while trying to monkey bar to the other side, exhilarating to say the least.

5. Value and conclusion.
Gamecooks have recently reduced the price of their game to $14.99 to reflect missing pieces as this early access title is still in development. I for one am eagerly awaiting all the features that are coming in the future , including a possible co-op campaign ability and multiplayer battles. For $15 this game is well worth the price of admission as a fun arcade style FPS that you can switch off levels or deaths with some friends or just solo the missions and try to achieve the high score on the leader boards.

I give Vindicta in it's current form an 8.5/10

Feels like a mix between Vertigo, Compound and Climbey.
Quite fun!

Vindicta is a linear run and gun shooter, with a little bit of item hunting.

Make your way through levels shooting a variety of robots while avoiding their fire. You start with simple pistols but will find more powerful guns as you go. You also have swords that you can always summon from behind your back.

There’s the occasional mini goal like shooting down a reactor or finding a key, but it’s all really straighforward and easy to find.

The default movement system is arm swinging, which added a lot of engagement for me and made it feel more exciting. But there’s sliding movement as well.

For my fellow arachnophobes: There are mechanical spiders both large and small. But robot spiders don’t bother me for some reason, so I was able to keep playing.

The simple action and overall feel reminded me of the old Quake games. And the cheesy macho voice from your character reminded me of Duke Nukem.

It took me 30 minutes to beat the first level, out of 5 levels total. So there is significant gameplay here.

I bought this for $1.50 during the summer sale. But the regular price is $15. If you go into this knowing that the gameplay is just simple frantic action, then I think you can have a good time. But don’t expect anything deep or mind blowing.. Fun concept
+Well made

0/5

If they would have stuck with it this would have been a great product, but they didn't, it'll never be complete, and it's still scamming people on the store. I Cannot recommend a game that'll never be released, this isn't a full game, and it never will be.
