![]() There’s more content planned, but currently you only have eight songs to play though, which is very much on the low end for any music game. Because the color coding can be as subtle as an eye color, you have to constantly be alert.Īs a VR game with a budget price point and an accessible gameplay formula, we’re guessing the most divisive element of God of Riffs is going to be its soundtrack, for two reasons. Beat Saber fans will recognize the fact that these hordes are color-coded though, and depending on their color you’ll have to either use your left or right-hand “weapon” to take them down. With the genre getting more and more populated, it’s nice to see that God of Riffs brings something new to the table – disguising itself as an action/combat game in which you have to take down hordes of the undead by swinging guitars at them – all to the sound of the music, of course. ![]() God of Riffs builds on both trends and recently launched for the Quest in addition to the Steam version that had been around (in Early Access) for a while longer. Another strong combination that’s even more recent seems to be metal music and videogames, with games like Ragnarock and Hellsinger. Rhythm-based gameplay and VR certainly seem to mix well, as the continued popularity of Beat Saber and Synth Riders demonstrate. Worth a look if you’re looking for something a little different. It makes for an experience that’s somewhat reminiscent of other party brawlers, but its wholly unique spider-premise makes it unlike so many of the copycats that occupy the genre. You can also tweak the experience to your liking, setting up the ground rules and thus eliminating a lot of the frustrations you might otherwise run into. You can also engage in other (less limiting) solo modes, but SpiderHeck is at its best when played locally with a few friends – and you can choose to play cooperatively or competitively. This could mean that you can only use one particular weapon – which can be a serious and frustrating problem because they’re not easy to control and work with, causing the single player mode to be more frustrating than the multiplayer one, where the hectic nature of the gameplay makes up for a lot. The main single player mode is called Tiers of Heck – a wave-based mode that throws different challenges at you through limitations and/or tricky environments. There’s a risk vs reward mechanic to moving around quickly though, as this is the key to picking up the game’s various weapons, which range from laser guns to old school crossbows.Īt times, SpiderHeck felt like a supercharged version of the Worms formula – one that works best in a multiplayer setting, for which there are multiple gameplay modes. ![]() The developers know it’s a silly setup too, as made evident that you can unlock cosmetic upgrades through which you can equip your arachnid with a little hat as well.Īnd while you’d think that these spiders are pretty quick on their (eight) feet, you’ll find that any kind of serious mobility is mostly handled by web-slinging yourself around the environment – though you have to be careful as some parts of each arena are quite hazardous to you. ![]() SpiderHeck essentially does what its premise suggests – it lets you do battle with eight-legged freaks wielding weapons, and does so in sci-fi environments where physics also play a role. Probably a good thing, because it’s a testament to the fact that wacky combinations have a way of becoming memorable, and it made us want to check out tinyBuild’s latest release, which was developed by Neverjam. When SpiderHeck’s premise of “Spiders with lightsabers” was introduced, I couldn’t help by think of Dr. Today we’re looking at the recent releases of SpiderHeck, God of Riffs and OneShot: World Machine Edition.
