The world could use more rail shooters
I hadn’t heard ofDexeduntil today, just ahead of its PlayStation VR launch on Tuesday, but knowing that it was made by Ninja Theory (Enslaved,Hellblade) and inspired byPanzer Dragoonhas me curious.
It’s a straightforward premise, with players holding an ice blaster in one hand, a fire blaster in the other, and painting targets that are susceptible to one elemental attack but not the other. This trailer gets that point across, so I’ll just add that there’s a standard relaxing “Zen Mode” option as well.
After back-to-back late nights spent withResident Evil 7, I could use a palate cleanser. Theuser reviewsfor the already-released Oculus Rift and HTC Vive versions ofDexedsound decent enough: short, sweet, and well-polished. About what I would expect from a built-for-VR arcade title.
Best of all, this is reasonably priced at $10. There’s simply not enough of that in the VR space.
