Gal*Gun: Double Peace
Action
August 6, 2015
A humorous, three-dimensional rail shooter by Inti Creates studio and a sequel to 2011 Gal*Gun, a game designed for motion game controllers. We play as an ordinary Japanese high-school student named Hodai, whose life has turned upside-down after he is shot with an arrow by mischievous angel Kurona. This results in every female trying to hit on him in more than aggressive way, after as little as a single glance. To lift the curse, our hero must find his true love before the sunset and avoid getting caught by other girls. Gameplay wise, Gal*Gun: Double Peace is a classic rail shooter, with us controlling only the crosshair. We are armed with special pistol that shoots pheromones, which will drive attacking girls to euphoria and thus stopping them from confessing their love to Hodai.
Wild Guns: Reloaded
Action
December 20, 2016
An extensive remake of Wild Guns, a classical action game that was initially released in 1994 for SNES. It was developed by Natsume in cooperation with the creators of the original. The game’s plot combines elements of western with science fiction and cyberpunk and tells the story of two protagonists: a girl named Annie, who wishes to take revenge on the Kid’s gang, and a bounty hunter, Clint, helping her. Mechanics-wise, it is a combination of arcade rail shooter and a third-person action game. While playing, we control the heroes by running, jumping, rolling, and so on, and try to aim at enemies in the back of the level. In Wild Guns: Reloaded, the classic gameplay formula was slightly polished. Apart from new arenas, opponents, and weapons, we have four (instead of two) characters at our disposal, each having their unique armaments. Furthermore, we can play in a co-op mode for the maximum of four players.

GRIDD: Retroenhanced
Action
October 23, 2018
A rail shooter game developed by the independent Italian developer Antab Studio. GRIDD: Retroenhanced draws its inspirations from both cyberpunk and hacker culture of the 1980s. The player gets to assume the role of an operator of a battle ship that traverses the virtual reality with a task to bypass a computer defense system and defeat a dangerous Artificial Intelligence. During the game, one gets to sweep through procedurally generated maps and fight numerous enemies. As the vehicle is constantly moving forward, the player's role is limited to maneuvering up and down, dodging enemies, collecting power-ups, and targeting weak spots of particular adversaries. The basic mode in GRIDD: Retroenhanced is the Arcade Mode, in which the difficulty level continuously adjusts to player's skills. The game also features the Endless Mode, in which the player has to face unlimited enemy waves. One's actions are monitored by the scoring system, thus the player can share his achievements via the online ranking boards. The entire experience features original style somewhat resembling the iconic TRON: Legacy movie and is well complemented by a dedicated synth wave soundtrack.

Polybius
Action
May 10, 2017
A rail shooter created by Llamasoft. The player is placed in control of a combat ship, which constantly goes forward and whether it is over a surface or inside a tunnel, the player's role remains to maneuver to the sides, perform dodges, attack enemies and destroy countless obstacles. The player fights smaller and larger adversaries coming in large numbers. A scoring system evaluates the player at all times - the scores achieved in 50 levels (differing in terms of colors and enemies one encounters) can be increased through collecting power-ups (which give speed boosts) and eliminating enemies quickly. Polybius catches one's attention with its simple, but incredibly original visuals and a pleasant, trance soundtrack. Although the game was created specifically for VR headsets, being in possession of such a piece of hardware is not required.
DEXED
Action
February 1, 2017
A rail shooter dedicated to HTC Vive headsets developed by Ninja Theory. We are given three distinct game modes – Challenge Mode, Arcade Mode, and Zen Mode. Challenge and Arcade modes focus on combat, while Zen Mode offers the ability to peacefully traverse three-dimensional environments. Choosing one of the arcade modes leaves us with two blasters that fire icy and fiery projectiles, effective against different types of opponents, as well as generate shields that can deflect or block incoming attacks. DEXED is a single player only title, yet we are also given online rankings that can be used to compare the results of different players. The game is characteristic for its quality visuals and memorable locations, including marine worlds, subterranean depths, or snowy valleys.
Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

A spin-off to the well-received horror game Until Dawn. This installment is a typical rail shooter developed with PlayStation VR goggles in mind. During the game player assumes the role of a passenger of an automatically moving cart. One uses the cart to travel through various locations filled with different opponents. As per genre's tradition, the player is tasked with quick and effective elimination of everything that moves. In addition to enemies, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is also filled with typical jump-scares that resemble the ones used in amusement parks. The VR goggles improve the immersion of the game – thanks to them the players can feel as if they were personally participating in the events shown on the screen.
Rez Infinite
Arcade
October 13, 2016
A refreshed version of the cult-classic rhythm game from 2001. The new edition, developed by Enhance Games studio lead by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, has been adapted to make use of virtual reality goggles, but a traditional gameplay is also available. Aside from the content present in the original game, the developers added a new location, called Area X. In Rez Infinite, the player’s task is to remove the effects of a malfunction inside an advanced AI called Eden. The game mixes the gameplay of so called rail shooters, with elements of rhythm games. As a result, we don’t control the direction where our character is headed – all we have to do is to mark groups of elements appearing on the screen, which explode, generating various audio-visual effects. The abstract visuals, characteristic of the original title, have been adapted to modern standards.
