Postapocalyptic FPS shooter designed for virtual reality goggles set in the snow-covered ruins of Los Angeles. The production boasts a large feature campaign and a cooperative multiplayer mode.
After the Fall is an FPS designed for VR goggle users, set in the post-apocalyptic United States. The developer of the title is Vertigo Games, which specializes in the development of VR technology. In 2016, the team has released the FPS Arizona Sunshine, as well as After the Fall created for Oculus Rift goggles.
After the Fall takes place in the alternative rendition of the year 2005, twenty years after the apocalyptic catclysm that originated in the pandemic caused by the introduction of dangerous boosters to the market, with time turning people into mindless beasts called Snowbreed. Players traverse the frozen ruins of Los Angeles as one of the few survivors hiding deep beneath the city's surface. To survive and fight the monsters, they use gadgets and weapons utilizing technology from the 1980s.
After the Fall is a classic FPS, where controls are based on the use of a standard gamepad or motion controllers working with VR goggles. Unlike many other VR FPS games, the title has a major story campaign, with film cut-scenes and spectacular action sequences. The opponents in the game are the aformentioned Snowbreed, appearing in many various forms. They like to attack in large groups, which requires players to take a tactical approach to battles, as well as reasonable use of limited resources. The game features a large arsenal of available firearms, as well as gadgets useful in combat.
Campaign in the game can be completed solo or with friends in online co-op mode. After the story is over, players gain access to additional missions, challenges and tasks.
After the Fall boasts high-quality three-dimensional audiovisuals and looks impressive compared to other VR productions, given the size of the maps and the number of opponents that may appear in front of our character's eyes.

Game Ratings for After the Fall Video Game.
Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Jamie Russo
Although After the Fall can be repetitive, it shines in its multiplayer capabilities and cross-platform options. Players can connect with their friends in VR to take out hordes of Snowbreed and challenge their skills against enemies like the Smasher, a massive Snowbreed monster with ice armor and a hammer-like arm. After the Fall is reminiscent of Left 4 Dead or Back 4 Blood's gameplay, but with an added level of immersion in VR that makes it a thrilling zombie-fighter experience.
TheSixthAxis: 5 / 10 by Gareth Chadwick
After the Fall is a fun co-op zombie shooter in VR, but with a lack of content at launch, awkwardly randomised attachment unlocks, and constantly separating parties between levels, it's not without issues. I really want to love After the Fall and, honestly, I would be at peace with all of its flaws if it had more content.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Lou Sytsma
After The Fall has had an arduous journey to reach its current state of playability. The game is even better on the PSVR 2. The PSVR 2 is quickly establishing itself, in its early days, as the platform of choice for VR Games. This version of the game also includes two extra levels – Hospital and Subway – and cross platform multiplayer compatibility. This is, indeed, the complete and definitive version of the game.
