Old School FPS

Amid Evil VR
Amid Evil VR 9–10h

Quake-style retro fantasy shooter in VR—axe out, magic blasts, big boomer-shooter action.

You swing a massive axe, cast homing staffs or black-hole grenades, and race through levels peppered with nostalgic gore—and it's in VR.

Why it’s great
Fast-paced old-school shooting, Bold, retro visuals, Soul-mode and inventive magic add flavorful punch

Why it flopped
Too old-school, Feels like a novelty if you’ve played the flat version

Horizon Store ($19.99)  
Bulletstorm VR
Bulletstorm VR 7–10h

An over-the-top arcade shooter built around skillshots.

Running away from a wheel the size of a 20-story building and fighting a Godzilla-like monster — and those aren’t even the most epic moments.

Why it’s great
Fast-paced arcade action, Creative skillshot system, Pure adrenaline

Why it flopped
Buggy port at launch, Too old-school

Horizon Store ($29.99)  
Dead Hook
Dead Hook 6–8h

A roguelike action-shooter where you swing, grapple, teleport through alien biomes.

You grapple across arenas like a twisted Spider-Man, bullet-time kicks in, you unload lead in slow motion—then repeat. Pure VR adrenaline.

Why it’s great
Feels like Doom 2016 in VR, Intuitive, physics-driven grappling, Different playstyles

Why it flopped
Too intense gameplay for the average player, Too many bugs, Too little variety

Heads-up

  • Buggy graphics on Quest 3
Horizon Store ($19.99)  
Fracked
Fracked 2–3h

A fast-paced VR shooter where you blast enemies and ski down mountains — all in one breath.

Sliding down a snowy slope with a rifle in your hands, dodging an avalanche while gunning down enemies — feels like stepping straight into an action movie.

Why it’s great
Stylish cel-shaded visuals, Good cover-shooter mechanics, True James Bond vibe

Why it flopped
Short campaign, Limited enemy variety and environments, Occasional bugs and glitches

Horizon Store ($19.99)  
Metal: Hellsinger VR
Metal: Hellsinger VR 5–7h

A rhythm-based shooter where every shot lands to the beat.

After three hours of struggling, your whole body starts trembling with every perfectly timed hit.

Why it’s great
Unique rhythm-meets-shooter idea, Killer metal soundtrack, Incredible flow once mastered

Why it flopped
Steep learning curve, Too niche for casual players, Requires love for heavy metal

Horizon Store ($29.99)  
Shock Troops
Shock Troops 3–4h

Retro shooter—base assault, dodge asteroids, blast aliens — nostalgia with VR polish.

You crouch behind a tank, dodge sniper bullets, dodge falling debris, then launch into a chaotic firefight — it feels like playing a 90s FPS arcade in VR flesh.

Why it’s great
Charming retro shooter with depth, Solid controls and fair checkpoints, Fun art and full campaign for cheap

Why it flopped
Too old-school, Repetitive gameplay, To many bugs

Horizon Store ($9.99)
