VR versus non-VR

[Shenobi]

I've been interested in this game for awhile and it's definitely in the price range that makes me want to grab it. That being said, I don't have any form of VR system to use to play it.

I know the game is playable in standard 2D, but I'm curious as to whether people would recommend acquiring a VR system (probably Oculus Rift for me) or whether 2D is just as good of an experience?

Thanks for any input you can offer.

this game is not that compelling without VR system, using oculus rift or vive, this game show its shine, you will feel really immerse on this relatively minimize graphic, not recommended to play this if you didnt have vr headset honestly in my opinion

Yeah, I'm just avoiding any games that have VR support. I'd rather have games that focused on gameplay over gimmicks.

im not sure if i agree VR is gimmick, if you still thing vr is gimmick,
you are missing a really big boat, like i said, once you play this game in VR (i play this on my DK2), suddenly this game is way way way intense, it feel as if you are inside of the dungeon itself, genuine scare, feel so isolated, so claustrhopobic, very legit game. so vr is no gimmick to me

meeting your first skeleton is intense in Vr, being able to move and dodge in VR is awesome, Its a simple game but really puts you in the dungeons, Being able to move where you look really makes it easy to get about, and the sword is well cool, Shows what VR is capable of.

I have only played this in VR and I have to say it plays excellent. Remembering it is an old school dungeon crawler, I can't see why it wouldn't be good in 2D, but it really is designed for VR.

I haven't played this, but I've played Dreadhalls and VR make this kind of game. Dreadhalls is fantastic in VR!

Do you tend to engage in combat in this game? Dreadhalls is scary in VR, but there's no combat.

Yes combat is in your face and this game is scary in some parts also has a mode for jump scares!, think Legend of grimrock in VR and you have crystal rift.

Do you mean it has a mode to turn jump scares on and off?

yes it has i think none/normal/hard or whatever they call it, I just left it on normal cause it's pretty scary at times anyway, dropping all the lights off coupled with harsh sounds made me jump!

Is this a game that's better with controllers? If so I think I'll wait until Rift releases controllers.

If so, then presumably it;s best standing, win which case, how do you walk? I find walking ok when seated but can be wierd when you're standing and the image is moving.

One of the vive controllers becomes a sword in game and standing is a must cause you can dodge in room scale.

Does anyone know how this plays on the Oculus Rift without controllers?

I don't know if you can dodge in roomscale... i've never done that. Dodging for me is moving to a different grid so the enemy has to move again to face me. That's all done with trackpad movement.

So I'd imagine if you're using a rift, you can get by with a gamepad.

CR is a mediocre dungeon crawler at best. What it makes worth a try is VR. VR is draining, though - at least the Vive, but I don't think Oculus to be different in this regard. So don't expect to play long sessions. Buying a VR system just for this game? I would not suggest to do ...
