If a game from the 90s was put in VR - Compound

Compound is a wild VR game. Compound VR is basically Ancient Dungeon VR but with guns. In VR it looks much better than you would expect. I get why everyone recommended it under the ancient dungeon video, because Compound is really fun. It's the same dungeon crawler gameplay just with more explosions and somehow even more pixels.

[@Mr.Lunare]

Habie single handedly pushing VR gaming forward by years by getting us all onto these games with his videos. Adding another to the backlog.

[@Logi_Bear-sv9jg]

a lot of VR games on Steam are pretty well made if yk where to look. Stumbled upon the demo for Compound around a month ago and instantly bought it; looks even better in the headset 👀

[@stroads.]

I mean I love Habie as much as the next subscriber, but "single-handedly" is a bit of a stretch, there's a whole community of VR KZbinrs

[@bernardoramos7842]

Using top comment to ask: which vr does habie use?

[@greendude0420]

And apparently Marauders with his toe

[@electray]

yup, without this video i wouldn't know that the exact kind of game i've been wanting, exists.

[@thisishowwebingham]

I'll just say this bro, you move the needle. This game is officially on the map because of you. Picked it up myself solely based on this video and never would have looked at it otherwise. Clearly, I'm not the only one. Pretty cool dude. Keep it up!

[@evolicious]

Most pcvr users played this back when it was on itch io for free, like 5 years ago.

[@samcandles]

its not that obscure

[@jonathanr9619]

Same, I would have never heard of this game!

[@phonyashell]

I found it in the vr titles tab on steam it was literally the very first option lmao

[@theREALdoomguyFrom1993]

Agreed

[@victoriouswinner7745]

I'm surprised Habie missed the H3VR poster in the shooting range. It's a fun detail, because apparently Anton actually helped the dev with the starting pistol

[@PartyRockerOG]

That’s what I was thinking that pistol is literally in h3vr sound and functionality

[@Folly_Inds]

@@PartyRockerOG Anton added it after the poster I think? It was sometime later as a head nod

[@Saplingbat]

@@Folly_Inds yup! It's how I found out about the game initially too, you love when real recognizes real 🙏

[@witmoreluke]

@@PartyRockerOG I WONDERED why it looked familiar!

[@hardygaming3454]

Because Anton is the most wholesome guy ever

[@garrettbuol]

The guy who made Compound deserves a huge spotlight for all his hard work. This is what all devs should strive for. This is one of the best games to just pick up and play. A must have. He just keeps growing it, while putting other studios to shame. Makes you wonder what the hell anyone else has been up to.

[@shanefraser7764]

He's my brother ill let him know mate he will be stoked🇳🇿

[@NeonPizza80s]

Playing Compound on Old Schooler Mode(Orange Syringe from the Vending Machine) is definitely how you want to play the game. And even though there's no seat mode, you can easily adjust your PSVR2's Floor level as a work around. My only real gripe with this game is that it's a rogue lite. You die once and you have to start all the way back from the beginning, within 15 stages. I wish there was a mode that would grant you something like 3 lives and 'then' it's game over after you lose them all.

[@koimeiji]

Habie saying "eat your heart out H3VR" after flipping the gun closed is very humorous to me, considering not only that you **can** do that in H3VR...Anton, the lead dev, helped with this game's guns (or at least the starting pistol)

[@unimportantname26]

The gunplay in H3VR is so granular and complex you can do some amazing shit. Big learning curve, and I see why Habie had trouble. A couple of the break actions are difficult to close, too. H3VR is first and foremost a simulator. I have trouble playing other shooters after so much time in H3.

[@BombasticBooger]

@@unimportantname26 mannn when you do the reload of the meat fortress sniper properly it is very satisfying

[@Slicetheidiot]

the starting pistol from compound is even in h3vr and a h3vr poster is in compound

[@TiernanHousman]

@@Slicetheidiot it is? Gotta find this.

[@briggs.7627]

Slow-mo grenade flying at that guys junk at 9:05 is the last thing I ever need to see ever. lol

[@Keanine]

When I tried the demo of this a few weeks back I was so surprised at how clear it looked. There was absolutely no blur at all, and in that sense it was the cleanest VR game I've ever seen despite the low detail artstyle

[@XxBronzeGodxX]

They might be related 🧐

[@gfyguy579]

the pixel style and vibrant colors make the blur with all headsets much less visible, an unintended effect im sure

[@washingmachine539]

I'm really glad to see this game picking up some steam. I grabbed it back in September or October, and it's really solid.

[@Keanine]

@@washingmachine539 If I didn't have the low storage Quest 2 I would have bought it by now. There's a few games I just haven't got because I don't have space lol. Hopefully the Quest 3 isn't shit so I can upgrade to have a decent amount of storage next time

[@Alt_0]

Less small details for your brain to go "ah shit whats that over there"

[@Samuel-sg2iv]

0:07 Literally two dumbbells right there, and he decides to curl the plates GIGACHAD.

[@KiwiiCat8]

I found this game a few weeks ago and immediately fell in love with the art style and roguelike gameplay, and I'm so glad that my favourite vr KZbinr made a video about it!

[@jamesnatale8248]

same story

[@13StJimmy]

I’m constantly blown away by how much the subscriber count has raised so quickly since I first discovered Habie with 30,000 subs Then I remember i literally bought a VR headset because of him so he obviously is doing something right

[@donovanjoseph737]

I’m surprised at how much habie understated how GOOD the guns feel in this game. Every gun has superb sound design, from firing the gun, reloading the magazine, to hearing it’s discarded casings bounce on the ground after each shot. Personal favorites are the clack of the grenade pistol closing, the *ping* of the energy smg, and the revolver’s discarded casings bouncing on the ground in unison. Compound is absolutely worth the price of admission and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

[@dontkickmychick6076]

some of the takes he makes in general seem to give off dumb normie vibes imo, stuff like the artstyle comments. He's made them in other videos too and as much as I like the guy it's a little maddening lol

[@Sinuev1]

Sound design in general was absolutely superb.

[@simondaniel4028]

@@Sinuev1 +! and, the Hotline Miami ost is great, but the low-fi cybertunes in Compound are great,

[@ReverendTed]

2:53 - To be fair, you can close revolvers and break-action firearms by flicking your wrist in H3VR, too.

[@michaellu1571]

I hope Habie knows he singlehandedly has such a tight hold around the VR market, he can literally control what games do well and what don't. After every video, the game shown in it will receive a massive increase in purchases and players.

[@blarghinatelazer9394]

"No one man should have all that power."

[@Chris-wq3pe]

You speak absolute rubbish

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

Correct, we are calling 90's retro shooters, boomer shooters. That is the most common term for the genre. People occasionally get very upset about that in my comments and it amuses me.

[@ForestRaptor]

but.... why boomer shooter? because of the "3d" booms?

[@CrizzyEyes]

@@ForestRaptor It's because of Civvie.

[@selectionn]

@@ForestRaptor its because its games people who are "boomers" grew up with, generally. And yeah, its been a term for a pretty long time now to describe newer retro style FPS games

[@starcraft605]

Who's we? Other teens like you?

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

@@starcraft605 It takes two seconds to look at my account and see that I am in my 30's. It's every one, literally the vast majority. That's what 90's retro shooters are called now, sorry you're going to have to deal with that.

[@lavorg.3711]

FINALLY someone makes a video on this game. Definitely one of my top favorites for vr shooters.

[@7ktTube]

it's one of my favorites to!

[@JesseDriftwood]

I've been enjoying this game so much recently, and now I'm excited to play Ancient Dungeon after. Thanks for the heads up!

[@aidanquates9692]

Hearing Habie sign off with "I'm going to go eat chicken nuggets" as I am about to do the same thing is surreal.

[@timtalks084]

Same here fren

[@catpack100]

Just popped my nuggets in the oven before starting this video. Smooth brains alike.

[@russellfisher1303]

IT’S LIKE YOU GUYS ARE BEST FRIENDS, WOH!

[@kennyroberson5726]

He actually ate your chicken nuggets thats why it looked like you had less than you put in originally.

[@dark_433]

some things i learned while messing around in blade and sorcery: 1. you can feed bandits apples 2. the healing potion actually stops draining when it's sideways and hits a certain percentage (33%) 3. the sound it makes when you hit a bandit with an apple on a sword make a weird sound, too fleshy

[@migasevil]

Love the art style of this games, hopefully there will be more games like this in the future.

[@fryncyaryorvjink2140]

Yes! Do not seek the treasure (photo realism)! Just a waste of resources on the developer and CPU side

[@mvnvxt]

I just love that the artstyle is so consistent and faithful throughout the gameplay, if only the enemy animations weren't so smooth, it kinda breaks the illusion of a 3D 90s era game for me but oc that's just personal preferences

[@TitanTubs]

How do you not talk about how satisfying the 'Emergency gun' glass is? The little animations!

[@bigrathole]

played this a few years ago, Such a friggin good game, and only more rewarding the harder the difficulty you set. The dev is great and listens to feedback also.

[@mr.pickles1101]

I feel like he owns every vr game now

[@TheMadRatKing]

I bought this game because of this video, and it is by far one of the greatest games I've ever played. addicting as a flash game, polished as a game from the 80s, and has enough content to keep you coming back even after you beat it. It's fantastic and I love it, and it's thanks to you that I had the initiative to try it.

[@shanefraser7764]

Game play looks so Rad its cool to hear people like it's retro style vibe, Bev will be happy to hear his game is well received ✌️🇳🇿

[@Tezla_Insanity]

I'm glad you checked this game out. It was one of the first few VR games I had played a few years back when I first got a vr headset, although back then, only the demo existed.

[@TayoTheT1000]

I don't know why, but playing compound, it seems like the best looking, and clearest thing I've seen in VR. It looks so good, so crisp. I played it until I got sick, and now I'm scared to play it again

[@ProjectBuddle]

The Under Presents' multiplayer and campaign have to be my favourite experiences with VR, and yes I've played Alyx and Boneworks. The campaign has story telling no other VR game can compare to and the multiplayers main draw for me is trying to communicate with other people by only clicking your fingers and pointing at things. An absolute blast would highly recommend.

[@tharealgeneralgrievous]

Always a good day when habitha posts

[@Yatsu2]

Mate for real you are giving out diamonds in the rough every time your video gets into my feed and i absolutely love it, as someone who gets lost in trying to find vr games just to find unfinished/unpolished games these videos really motivate me to keep playing my vr. Dog bless

[@Valcuda]

I have literally never heard the phrase "Boomer Shooter" before. Anyways, that game is definitely going to the top of my VR play list! It's neat how a little depth, can make an art style go from kinda ugly, to pure amazing! Definitely goes to show how important readability is!

[@Gokuson117]

I stumbled upon this game by chance and picked it up for the lulz, now it is one of my favorite VR shooters I own. Still trying beat the game with the damage enhancement mutation on (everything dies in 1 shot, but so do you) I recommend running on the hardest difficulty while doing this challenge because it makes the difference with the tougher enemies and forces. 10/10 great solo experience to pick up.

[@gamerman7276]

I mean, Doom 1993 is in VR.

[@snmrikki9026]

Been wanting this one for awhile now. Played the demo and fell in love. Same with ancient dungeon.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

It’s weird that people call the shooters millennials grew up with “boomer shooters”… I’m pretty sure actual “boomer shooters” included just actual deer hunts and maybe the odd Klan meeting.

[@-Seek-17]

Wait i thought it was boomer shooter because stuff went boom... My brain is smooth

[@mitchelldittes2555]

WOW, I remember seeing Habie vids awhile ago when I got my VR headset and he was just starting YT, I fucking knew this channel would take off, just reminded me when he mentioned how he went from 50k to 500k in such a short time.

the first time I played this game (after watching YOUR video) I could not stop smiling. It's either because I am an absolute lunatic who needs to be stimulated by constantly causing virtual humans endless pain, or because "haha pistol go bam bam" Basically, this game is everything I wanted out of vr. Also it makes you feel like deadpool and doomguy.

[@BlakeEM]

I hate the term "Boomer Shooter", most of the people playing and making these games were not boomers, their parents were. I call them 2.5D games or sprite based fps. It's during the awkward transition period to 3d.

[@christophersawdon1617]

Okay boomer

[@coreymiddlemass5729]

It’s a “boomer” shooter because it mimics that of doom stile which is referred to as the “grandad” of all shooter game it’s nothing about who plays those kind of games it’s that the game itself is the “boomer” in question

I like how before I had my own VR, every video say "you have no idea what the sense of scale feels like" and once I got my old vive and I can see is the same videos in a whole new light... like a new game plus in a way

[@fmlbrad]

Both Ancient Dungeon and Compound were on my wishlist prior to you making videos about them and now I'm going to buy them both.

[@Elite-bh6pm]

To respond to the title of the video, there have been many games from the 90's that have been put into VR like Quake 1,2 and 3, Half Life and it's expansions, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and so on and I absolutely love to play those in VR. I've played Compound too and it's great.

[@bunger5578]

im so glad youre playing compound, it is such an underrated game and unheard of game!

[@ryandary]

This game is 11/10 and is easily my favorite VR ever. Everything about it is so solid and mean. It's "Nintendo Hard" mixed with a little Time Crisis. I chased a win in this game for a year, and finally getting it was like drugs. Highly recommend the old-school mutator if you haven't played with it on.

The flow of the script & your vibe combined with the music & high quality editing is such a good experience

[@JohnR-fc7vr]

This is the best explanation for ANY game that I've ever seen! This guy points out exactly what a newbie would think ('lots of colors") and then explains that that's because you're seeing in 2D. Makes a world of difference! When he pointed out the smoke, I didn't even see it. But he was sensitive enough towards the audience to shoot again and again after pointing this out! Would love to watch more VR game reviews!

Interestingly, that apartment at the beginning of the video looked almost like the apartment from Normality, a first person 3D adventure game from 1996. I'm wonder if it was one of the influences. On another topic, I'm glad to see that VR games are becoming more immersive in their gameplay. I've yet to play one, but I'm very much intrigued by games like this.

[@ThinBear4]

I bought Quest 2 about two weeks ago, and I'm glad I've accidentally stumbled upon this video while waiting for my purchase to arrive. Compound is one of my favorite VR games.

[@jimmysgameclips]

Compound tip for anyone reading, for some reason the shotgun pistols aren't linked to other ones with ammo useage unlike the other two pistols, so you can use them independantly which turns them into a very effective weapons choice

[@TeaGamingPanda]

Bro I love this game so much. Every time I boot up my Quest I’m like… “One round of Compound” and it may turn into several 😂
