Falling Down XR bundles four distinct VR experiences—vertical maze navigation, Wild West challenges, zombie shooting, and cult escape scenarios—across different thematic environments. The collection offers variety for VR headsets like the Index and Vive, though performance can be inconsistent depending on your hardware setup. This is a budget title best approached during sales if you want to sample multiple short VR modes rather than a single deep experience.

About this game

What players are saying

▲ Recommended 0 hrs
Falling Down XR is a paid VR game with a variety of gameplay. It worked on my Index and HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has 11 steam achievements. Has 2 modes of play where you fall or jump through a vertical maze and then there is a shooter game mode. Look like the devs are adding a few more games in the future.

Maybe buy this game on deep sale.

I got a free key for this from the Steam Curator program.

Gameplay: https://youtu.be/Reh7L5KqKMc

I used airlink with my Oculus Quest 2 and results were not ideal. It just runs... very rough. I have a 2080 ti, so it's a bit older of a video card but still performs quite well. I set graphic settings to Quest and had FPS set for 90 - but still felt like there were some crazy amounts of fps drops. It looks like the visual problems I had don't really translate to the video I made, so at least people won't feel sick watching the gameplay video I hope.

Overall it's a fun concept, but the implementation could be greatly improved. I didn't see a way to determine my health, or how much health I regenerated by waiting on platforms, constantly looking down with my neck was uncomfortable, and it was oddly difficult to land on platforms I wanted to land on. There are a collection of mini games, which are essentially falling, falling again, and a shooter. There is also a leaderboard which is at least a cool addition.

You are going to spend almost all of your time looking down, which is... An odd choice I guess. Stretch out your neck, because you'll want to after playing this, and it is probably a good idea to do that before. For the falling games you are presented with a pop up wall of text that tells you how to play and what you're going to do, and then off you go. There are platforms that rise up or stay stationary, you stay on them for at least 2 seconds to regenerate health, and then on the way back down you go.

If there's a way to see what your health is, I didn't see it. That made trying to figure out what my health was next to impossible, and it is very difficult to judge if a fall is going to kill you or not. I only made it successfully to the bottom for one game, which was the space one. There was no real desire to try again for any of the levels, so replay value feels like it's mostly absent.

The shooting game just made me feel rather nauseous, so I can't speak much on it. You have a gun, and you shoot things.

I had recording issues with OBS and my quest mic, so it's difficult to make out any of my commentary.. But, there's a link if you want to see the gameplay. Ultimately I just didn't have a good time with this, and cannot recommend it.
