![]() Like I said at the outset, After the Fall is a fun game albeit a very short one. This is a nice way of handling having to penalize a player for getting killed but not making them wait in inordinate amount of time to get back into the game, and as someone whose aim is poor in VR, I appreciated it very much. Unlike Left 4 Dead and even the newly released Back 4 Blood when one of your teammates goes down, they can be revived on the spot and resume shooting the hordes of undead. These behemoth monsters have glowing armored bits that are the indicators of where players should direct their bullets, but they are quicker than they look and players will have to be on the move because if the Smasher grabs them, they are most certainly dead. I thought this was a nice way to keep people replaying levels, what I didn’t realize is that the game only has 5 levels to begin with.Įach ‘level’ is pretty familiar as far as content, sure the locations will change but players will be shooting zombies, looking for gear/loot and it will end with a boss fight vs a hulking “Smasher” zombie type. Players will need to tweak their various builds for their playstyles if they want to find success in the frozen streets of LA. from the store located at base, The Line. As progress is made and you begin to level up players can purchase various upgrades like carrying a gun on their back, or holding more of a certain type of ammo etc. Not all of these things will give you buffs though, some like the ammo counter might keep the player from having to count their shots but it comes at the cost of some recoil. Guns can be fitted with any number of attachments such as larger capacity magazines, scopes, and even a counter that will display how many bullets are left in the current magazine. Nostalgia aside, these discs are able to be decrypted back at base into various weapon/armor upgrade parts. (Which younger folk will have no idea to what I am referring) Like the old school from the 80’s floppy disc, and that is because see ‘the fall’ happened in the 80’s so systems are all DOS based. (Listen… I didn’t write this story… just bear with me here) While players are harvesting the “juice” by eliminating the frozen undead zombies they will also find ammo caches and floppy discs. Players are tasked with becoming one of many “Runners”, who are individuals who are tasked with being sent out to harvest zones in search of “juice” which is used to make a serum to keep people from freezing. But let’s back up a bit, After the Fall is a 4-player co-op VR shooter/survival game that takes place in a frozen, zombie invested Los Angeles after the fall (Ha!) of civilization. ![]() Well yes, it is actually quite good the issues with After the Fall aren’t in the level of enjoyment to be had, but the lack of content and how quickly a player con finish the current game. So here we are some years, and a few other games later that Vertigo is back to bring its version of an icy, zombie apocalypse a stark contrast between the sunny vistas of Arizona but is it any good? Vertigo is the developer behind the game Arizona Sunshine which is probably the first big VR zombie apocalypse game, and it was met with success. Developed by Vertigo Games, themselves no stranger to creating worlds in VR or even zombie infested ones for that matter. But, sometimes in the sea of similarity there can be one that stands just tall enough to noticed in this case that one is After the Fall. ![]() While I totally get the appeal (zombies are dull creatures, easy to make them just targets) it’s been dome to *ahem* death. Don't get me wrong, a lot of great VR games are being released.If there is one thing that VR doesn’t need, it’s yet another zombie shooter. This is the most fun I've had in VR in a while. Nuketown and Der Riese are my absolute favourites for now, although I'd love Moon and Alcatraz! There's also some custom maps if you want something new. ![]() They've taken the assets of the original games (the sounds, the models, the textures, the maps, everything), they've programmed the game mechanics (perks, bonuses, special zombies, teleport system, doors, everything), and here we are!įor now, there are six or seven maps from the original games, but a lot more are in development. Some passionate, dedicated players have decided to implement the Zombie mode of Black Ops into this game. If that's the case (actually, even otherwise, lol), you'll be interested in this: If you are a gamer, chances are you played Call of Duty Black Ops Zombie. If you have a VR headset, chances are you're a gamer.
