The Strangest VR Game of the Year - Ancient Dungeon VR

[@yeti96]

Props to Habie for making it this far on KZbin, you’ve really showed a lot of people that vr isn’t just a gimmick, congrats on the sponsor and merry Christmas

What about upisnotjump?

[@extremehyperventilation4377]

@@BD-zg7is Well, I do enjoy Habie's more calm tallking voice. It sounds like me monologueing about something I personally care about or am emotionally invested in. And yeah, while I did ask about upisnotjump, I am actually not a big fan of his! I reached him via Many A True Nerd! Who is just an amazing person to watch play games and give his opinion on them. His style is quite similar to habie, so I think I understand why I enjoy habie much, much more. But, I didn't expect an aggresive response to such a neutral question. So, is habie the only person who has proved to many people thay VR is not a gimmick? I would like to think so, but then again, things are not always what they seem to be... So it was an innocent question really, sorry if I offended you

[@ItsMigi]

same i thought the entire vr scene since the 90s was a gimmick until I saw this vid

this applies to any rouge-like lol

This is one of the few games that the demo got me to buy the full game. I think half the reason it feels good is how it runs so smooth.

[@wonder_platypus8337]

Same here. Gave you just enough yo see how good it was and want more.

[@mr_confuse]

Avorion was that game for me back when it was brand new with videos on the pre early access, soon to be release videos and the demo that I played... Ever since I never was so takes by a game's demo

[@NeuralSensei]

Same thing cannot be said for vanilla minecraft

[@highlandstorm0137]

@@sawyersprott there aren't loads of mods, but I'd say the game is worth it anyway. They'll be adding multiplayer sometime in the future. I don't think it'll be soon tho. Edit: this fucking swipe-typing on mobile is just painful.

[@Th3Build3r]

it really is, i played this back when it was still in gamelab

[@Baithook262]

Another game you should try with a similar aesthetic that's more reminiscent to classic Wolfenstein/Doom is Compound--a vr fps roguelite. Its art style mixed with its different guns you get to unlock and try has now become one of my favorite vr games to play daily. So simple yet fun!

[@ctrononon]

Compound is reallly good. When you get into the rhythm, it really makes you feel like a badass. The way you can juggle guns by leaving them hanging in the air makes for some really fluid/fun gameplay.

[@bruhbruhson8864]

Yea I’ve been playing compound too, I’ve only been able to beat it on medium with the extra hands mutation though.

[@Baithook262]

@@bruhbruhson8864 I've only managed to beat the game with people populace (more enemies but they have less hp) and damage amplifier (one shot = one kill)

[@Gizmos_and_stuff]

Coulpiund is indeed a great game

[@nazaxprime]

Yeah, that one's high on my list.

[@Smokasaurus]

This game was one of the first games I got on my Quest 2 (was in SideQuest at the time). If I’m not mistaken it was the FIRST game I played in VR. And yes! The uncanny valley level in this game is so real. After my first run, making it to the second level, and dying to one of the zombies there that blink to you… That made me take a break for a few hours…

[@facelessyt6215]

Ancient Dungeon is such a gem and I'm glad more people going to find it, hats off to Habie for showing people that VR can be more than a gimmick and actual games can be made. While also supporting indie games all the while!

[@Romanplaystation]

Had to come back and watch this one again after the announcement for PSVR 2. We're eating so good this December with Resi 4 remake, Vertigo 2, and this.

[@Zavarum]

I've been waiting for Habie to review this game! Easily one of my favorites and if anyone asked for a game to play, this is the game that I would tell them. Thanks for being my favorite content creator Habie and an amazing source of entertainment. Hope everyone's Christmas is amazing.

[@Sinsanatis]

habie gives me the same energy as that one video where some guy has a hardboiled egg fit perfectly in a little creme brulee cup and when he jiggles it it makes a bwububububub sound and hes just laughing at it by himself game looks awesome tho, def keeping it in mind for if and when i get vr.

[@BlaiseArath]

Been playing Ancient Dungeon since its early access days on SideQuest! Its such a fun little rogue-like game. I try to recommend both it and CompoundVR to people who want a good Rogue-Lite experience in VR. Ancient dungeon being the "sword/medieval" one, Compound being a shooter.

[@SagaEf]

I knew you would get a gamersupps partnership. I called that shit 11 days ago in your comments and I have never been a better fortune teller than now.

I wasn’t really expecting habie to cover this game

[@JesusitsChuzy]

Its awesome seeing you get that gamersupps code, I just put my order in with your code!

[@GreyAcumen]

Just a little advice to hopefully help you with future runs: 1. Take the time to read item(called relics) descriptions,(you can also do this from the menu and pointing at the list of relics you've picked up to get a little popup of each description) not only that, but before you pick them up, double check your menu to look at your stats and hearts so you can compare the before and after to better understand what their actual impact is. Some relics aren't helpful at all, some are legit dangerous to pick up. Possibly the most important relics you can pick up are the one that lets you see the entire map, and the ones that let you get new relics or change the relics you find to new ones. 2. The dagger is your best friend. Throw it as much as you can, it'll always come back. You'll last MUCH longer than trying to melee everything. 3. Explore every room you can, and learn to recognize those "points of no return" in order to use the chance to check everything you might have missed up to that point. Once you learn to kill enemies safely, those rooms are just more opportunities to either find relics that will make you stronger, or get coins that can be used to purchase more relics that will make you stronger. 4. Make sure to check the board to the left of that researcher guy. It has options you can unlock by spending insight, and some of those options vastly improve the dungeon experience.

You should play Compound. Its a game with similar graphics to this, it is a rouge like shooter with bosses and floors you have to clear! And it was released on steam fully a few months ago

I've literally watched all your vids and exhale sharply through my nostrils every time I see you on my feed. Thank you for making even the worst days a little bit better Habie.

[@CasEavey]

This game is absolutely fantastic it gets better the longer you play i also struggled to get to the infested dungeon at first and now i get to the final boss almost every time i play and i beat it half the time. It's amazing to get further in the game as your skill develops

[@Two-BallTyrone]

Played this back in the beta, and it is such a good game, when I played there were 3 levels; The normal level, The bloody place, and the library. The game gets constant updates, and has so much content already, and the coolest part is that even back in beta, there was so much you could do, there was mods (one of the coolest mods i saw was a contracts mod in which you got gold for doing things in the dungeon like killing five zombies), people were speedrunning the game back in beta (and i really wish i took part in it.) ErThu is genuinely such a great game dev, he actively gives announcement for the updates coming in the discord. And on the topic of cool updates, the newest update coming is multiplayer. I cannot wait for that. Whether you have a VR headset or not, give ErThu your money. He deserves it.

[@Capn-185]

Hello! Game reviewer here, this game is a masterpiece. I won't spoil much, but its amazing. The art style is perfect and the gameplay is great. This game has scared me more than FNAF VR has, and that's meant to be horror game. The ending is amazing and the boss is surprisingly satisfying to beat, and the powers you get on the way is top notch. The audio is just downright great and the entire game feels polished. (Also, the power up he obtained and doesn't know what it is, its that it turned his sword green is a power up where the sword grows every second increasing the damage, but it shrinks to a small sword every time you hit something)

[@duffyscottc]

Merry Christmas!

[@MrPablosek]

It's a really great game and one of the first VR games I played when it was free on sidequest with only one dungeon level. Despite the very cartoony and pixelated graphics the game does hold a creepy vibe of you being alone in a dungeon full of monsters. When you play through it for hours you really start feeling very isolated and lonely. You start talking to yourself to fill up the insane silence broken only by the ambient nooses and monsters. Very great game. Very climatic. I've never had a VR game give me an experience like that before.

[@dan_kitty_vr5107]

[@mrdunce3554]

I played this on my quest 1 from sidequest in very early development, it was super fun even if there was only 1.5 floors at the time. I've always loved roguelike games and it hurt me a little you described every aspect of them separately -The items you skimmed over -Losing everything when you die -Dungeon progression -Replayably fun deaths.
