About Cargo Cult: Shoot'n'Loot VR

In Brief

A virtual reality rail shooter that requires a VR Headset such as the Oculus Rift, OSVR or the HTC Vive

Installation:

The installation is via the Steam client. If you are not familiar with activating a Steam game, go to the top menu and select Games. From the drop-down menu select 'Activate a Product on Steam'. The game will then be available to install on any computer you install the Steam client on and sign in using your Steam account. If you're new to Steam, you can download the Steam client HERE and create a Steam account HERE. Once the key has been added to your account it will be permanantely tied to that account and cannot be changed.

Introduction:

Cargo Cult: Shoot'n'Loot VR is an episodic Steampunk VR shoot ‘em up in which players take control of the last airship of the Great Mechanical Armada. In order to retrieve the legendary treasure of El Dorado, players will have to venture deep into the hostile lands of the Cargo Cult, a world full of ancient wooden mechanisms and stone golems worshipping them, beautiful palms and deadly homing missiles. Players can expect a highly engaging sky pirate experience, taking them from a tense fight with a giant Doomcopter to fending off hordes of flying Bombers and dodging falling debris in the blink of an eye.

Reviews and Videos of Cargo Cult: Shoot'n'Loot VR:

You can see Steam community reviews of Cargo Cult: Shoot'n'Loot VR HERE. There are several in-game videos of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

Conclusion:

I only managed to play Cargo Cult for a very short time. The constant motion made me feel nauseous and fuzzy. I tied it to play the game a few more times but ended up with a blinding headache. I've had at least 15 surgical interventions on my eyes and which have left me with weak eye muscles that are strained easily. I've found some motion-based games do the same thing and I think the eye surgery has something to do with the problem. Not all VR games cause this for me, but this game being a rail shooter, you are constantly moving forwards and attacking, so the motion is non stop.

Suggestions:

If you win a key and once you've had an opportunity to play Cargo Cult: Shoot'n'Loot VR please take a few moments to give some positive or negative feedback; for example, what you liked or disliked about the game, or how it could be improved. If you don't like the genre at all, please explain why and if any, what improvements would change your mind? Once the competition is over, you can access the comments section by going to the game giveaways home page, then scroll to the bottom of the page where it says Archives and select the date the giveaway was live (giveaway days are in bold type). This will open up the appropriate page for you to post your comment or review (Mon 6th Nov). Alternatively, you can Google the name of the game and include Gamegiveawayoftheday in the search. This should give you a list of links to when this game was given away.

There are thousands of subscribers to the game giveaway of the day every weekend which makes this an ideal forum for giving developers new or fresh ideas as to what their consumers (i.e you) would like to see in a game. For example, you could suggest extra content such as better or more original mini-games, or a level editor that you would like to see that would make it more appealing to you. Maybe you think the graphics are a little dated and are in need of re-skinning, or maybe you've just had enough of the genre and want to see something different or something with more originality? Giving such feedback instead of saying nothing or just saying this game is rubbish or good may bring more developers to the site, which could mean more and better games. Would 'you' give away thousands of copies of a game (or extra content for a game) away to a community that complains all the time instead of giving useful feedback? It only needs a few moments of your time.

This site could be transformed if only the community would be more forthcoming in their opinions of the games they are getting for free instead of complaining about the way this site has changed, for example, they don't like MPC games, they hate HOG's, have had enough of Match Three and Time Management games or they want to see the latest version of Call of Duty or some other big name AAA game given away or that they don't like Steam games. If something isn't for you then please move on to the next giveaway, or check out the forums HERE, HERE and HERE, where a few members of the community post details of various free games and free game sites as well as links to various indie bundle sites etc; you never know, you may find something that really interests you.

If you miss today's game giveaway you can always get the game via Steam HERE for £10.99/$14.99
