It already is a hit in my opinion on Quest and I bought it for Quest. So I really hoped for a PSVR2 release and now it is here. Great! I prefer playing it on PSVR2 so I am very happy to hear it got a 10/10.

If I didn't have such a backlog I'd be jumping into this

I agree the game is great. It deserves 9of10 and a 10of10 if it had a DLC i would buy it in a second that upgraded the dungeon environments to modern realistic Skyrim dungeon graphics levels. please AD-Dev team add a graphics DLC to the sony store we can BUY, I love your game and concept - just make it modern with a DLC so you can fund your next sequel or DLC. You could even sub contract out the job to artists incase you dont have artist skill or time and that way you can keep working on the technicals. Please do it your game is GREAT & deserves it.

Whoa, 10 out of 10! Did not see that coming.

Great review. You covered it all. This game was made with love and has been polished over the last 2 years. I can”t stop playing. Beat the Beast 5x so far. Love the crossbow and sense of adventure. The thing on your wrist is called Marcus and he rocks. Drink the Beast Bile people even though it says you shouldn’t. Now, let’s get Compound over here. I emailed that dev (notdeadgames) to ask. See what you can do!

Oh damn! Thanks for giving 3D dot game heroes some love! This game is so much underrated! A brilliant hommage to the very first Zelda game on NES and probably my favorite PS3 game with Demon's Souls (both developped by From Software). I'm not really into roguelites and didn't get hooked by Cosmodread, but this review piqued my curiosity for sure! Thanks! 👏

Considering how much fun I've been having playing Ghost Signal, after Your recommendation, this will definitely have to be another I buy. ... Mind you, nearly every one of the dozen or so VR games I've bought, I did only after watching your reviews. Keep up the great work!

Played this game in pre release, and it’s 100% worth it if you grew up playing snes or any old systems 😂

I hate when I see these games that everyone is in love with but I think I’ll play it for an hour and never pick it up again. Been that way with pretty much all the rogue lites I’ve bought so far. And the art style isn’t my thing either.

I've put so many hours into ancient dungeons. This game is fantastic!

Yes Bryan. I've played this game for soooooo many hours since I bought it and still enjoying it a lot. It became my favorite of my 26 VR2 games I bought. And once you think you've seen all, the game keeps surprising you with new things, options, missions... As long as FF or Death Stranding don't becomes VR, it might stay the game I liked the most...

This looks awesome! Definitely going to pick it up soon! 😃

Looks like the perfect example of NES Zelda in VR. And your description of the music is spot-on!

I played Help Wanted 2 and got the Princess Quest ending which had the exact same style as this game, I absolutely loved the style of it and started to think if there are any actual psvr2 games with this style. I'm glad I found this game, definitely going to get it real soon

Agree with every word. Pretty much as close to the perfect VR rogue lite as it's possible to get.

It sounds like crossplay with other headsets is coming too. Should really help with the mutliplayer base!

Paused this video to buy the game on the PSN app and DL to my PS5. Thx for the review, mate

I’ll more than likely hop-in when online co-op is available; mainly due to an extreme backlog as it is.

Love this game. Great for that dungeon crawler itch! 👌🏾

Playing Teardown on PS plus last month opened my eyes to the potential of this art style. I knew this game would be a gem and I'm glad you concur 👌

Great game, been playing this since early access.

High praise indeed, this is now on my radar 👏

Yesssss he finally did a review on Ancient Dungeon VR!!! I been waiting patiently for this lol such an amazing game and a well deserved score of 10

This game is amazing! One of my favorites.

This is almost like a vr adaptation of the Ian Livingstone / Steve Jackson Fighting Fantasy gamebooks of the 1980's. I'm unsure if they have been released in the States. I remember that Eidos released an adaptation of one of the books, Deathtrap Dungeon on the ps1

A while back, I asked the developer if the PSVR2 version was coming out and he responded. I dmed you on twitter and luckily got in touch. Then I was mentioned in the cast that day! I loved playing this game on my quest and it’s even better on the PSVR2. I am so glad you’ve received as much enjoyment as I have gotten from it

Great review! Already bought the game based on your conversations on Gamescast. My backlog for psvr2 is getting pretty huge but I'm sure I'll enjoy this once I get to it! 🙂

Love this game just got today thanks to ur video

As always, thank you for your solid reviews. I completely agree with you. This game is one of the best!

Easy buy when I see it on sale. No need to pick it up now. My backlog is huge 😁

Great review Bryan!! I may pick this up after i beat RE4. Trying to keep that dreaded backlog down which is insanely tough on this awesome system. Such a great problem to have right?

Great review Bryan. If i didnt alresdy own it your review certainly would have convinced me.

I've been following this for a while now, and hearing how much fun your having with the haptics and modes, yep it's sold me, I'll be getting this ASAP, Resident Evil 7 was my favourite psvr1 game and moss 1 n 2 (with the mouse) and Ancient Dungeons VR is going to be my favourite psvr2 game, I just know it, Horizon Forbidden mountain just didn't do it for me at all, this game 110% will, hay I don't suppose you remember a psvr1 game called Thesis? Thaddeus? I don't know what its called but it was running away from a Minotaur creature in a labyrinthine maze but it had like this cool classic resident evil camera like angles with this semi behind the shoulders character, it wasn't 1st person but 3rd, and you could attack these weirdo spider like enemies, it was definitely an experimental game but I truly don't know any other VR game that experimented with this camera perspective but i would love to see more like it, I'm still crossing my fingers for an Astrobot 2 game, it was definitely Sony's Mario game but that game was sweet as, can you imagine if we got a Lawnmower man type VR game? That movie did not age well, but as a kid I loved the idea of feeling free inside VR, yeah the Nostolgia runs deep in my veins, thankyou heaps on your run down of this game, I can't wait to live inside the Ancient Dungeons world in VR, I didn't mint Resi 4 in VR but that sniper rifle made me feel really ill and hurt my eyes heaps bad, around $20-$30 is the perfect price for Ancient Dungeons as well, hope we see a sequel or more content in the future, I'd also would heaps love to see another Wipeout game on the Psvr2 too, gosh that'll be sweet, take care till the next vid

Especially for that price it's hard to not try this one out.

Was kinda on the fence with this one, but now I'm sold. Hopefully the multiplayer mode will have full crossplay support.

You were right. Im hooked.

Your life is so incomplete without it bro! Spend all of your money buying stuff you will never use, bro!"

Wow! I'd heard this was good, but I wasn't expecting a perfect score!

56 runs and i still haven't passed the 2nd dungeon. This game is insane. Lol So much fun.

Music is just kinda like gouls n ghost

One of my favorite Psvr games. Any idea if there will be more updates/dlc? New weapons and more areas would be a dream.

This reminds me a little bit of Crystal Rift for the PSVR1.

This game is fantastic. Just picked it up after finishing RE4. An absolute classic.

You finally unlocked the crossbow!

Added to the list, thanks man!

Co op is coming? Going to have to buy this then. Great review.

nice! gonna give it a try

Same game type from 90' virtuality the vr experience, now we can finally play it again 👍

One of those games that just works in VR. Definitely wouldn't play in flat screen.

wow, 10/10 !!! Even never heard of this game.

The only thing that really bugs me is how the skeletons move. If they had animated them to shuffle instead of jog, it would have been better.

This is likely my next purchase after Vertigo 2.

Thank you to the Devs of this for making a near-perfect game and especially for utilizing the PS5 and PSVR2 to their full potential. This game is actually gorgeous in the headset! Gameplay over graphics yea I get it, but honestly this game has the graphics too. The skeleton animations are way lifelike and subtly terrifying because of it. The sense of presence and immersion is very real here. Fantastic game and Spot-on Review Bryan!!

This is a great game, I have it on Quest 3.

Hell yes!

You're dead right, this is SO fun. Glad you said there's reason to keep playing beyond finishing it cos I was a bit worried it might feel over too soon. Is there a sort of "real ending" to strive towards like in ghost signal?

As someone who never played VR, I have a question to the VR veterans: don't graphics like this ruin the immersion? I thought what's great about VR is the feeling of really being in there, do you still get that feeling with pixely looking games like this?

@DutchSamurai83

5 ай бұрын

Yes you do, it is like being inside the game. In this case a 16 bit game but it really feels like you are there. If something comes at your head in VR you will dodge out of reflex. Pixelated or not you will dodge because it really feels something is coming at your face.

@WithoutParole

5 ай бұрын

As someone who has played a lot of VR the answer to your first question is simple: No. Immersion is about so much more than just an artstyle. It's about sound, haptics, and graphical fidelity as well. As long as a few of these things are firing on all cylinders then you'll feel totally immersed. VR games are (and should be) just as diverse as flatscreen games - and I think Ancient Dungeon proves that! :D
