- Ancient Dungeon is a one of the best and most polished VR experiences you can buy and despite that, I still think it gets overlooked. And that's the reason I wanted to make this video, to give it some more of the love and attention that it deserves.

****** SPOILER WARNING******
I spoil the final boss pretty early in this video! It’s at around 50 seconds and it’s on screen for just a little bit.
If you want to skip past that, use the knife time stamp. I spoil it again during the synergy example from 5:17 ( DON’t click on that!) to around 5:25. And it’s only on screen for a few seconds
didn't know this had a multiplayer coming this game is alot of fun I love the retro vives
Wait really a multiplayer?
I love this game like you do.
Played the demo while borrowing a friends quest 2. Super fun and had a great atmosphere. Q3 will be my first hmd and I bought the game on sale months ago in preparation.
Great summary of the game!
Great purchase! Did you do alright with motion sickness on your friends q2? ADVR is a very comfortable game but for new VR players smooth locomotion can take some time getting used to.
@bmackVR Actually, no, not at all. Though, I borrowed their headset multiple times for 1-3 weeks at a time over the past couple of years. Only time I ever felt a little twinge of nausea was playing Red Matter 1. It had weird jetpack locomotion where it accelerates when you hold forward.
@@HelioSPECTR glad to hear! Only game that occasionally makes me feel weird now is boneworks.
great review, picked it up thanks to you and I love my time with the game
Thank you! And as do I. Each time I play it... I end up saying... I NEED to play this game more haha.
Man this looks fun! Thanks for the recommendation
It’s definitely worth it!
I've been waiting on this game!
You won’t be disappointed!
That was an awesome video!
I am glad you liked it, and thank you for making this awesome game!
Played it on Quest 2 and can’t wait for the PSVR2 port
PSVR 2 really needs a game like this too! I really hope people give it a shot and not just dismiss it because of the “Quest” graphics.
Great game. I used to play it a lot. I'm just waiting for new content to drop after the multiplayer update.
Do we have an idea of what that content is?
@@bmackVR I think they have a list of planned items and progress on their discord.
@@Mr.deadpoint you are 100% correct. From what I remember they have a really good like progress chart with graphs and stuff. I should go look at it again thanks for reminding me of it.
cool looking game, kinda reminds me of a 3d version of how Rogue Hereos: Ruins of Tasos took the 2d zelda formula and turned it into a roguelite
Based on some of the videos of yours' I've watched... I think its something you would like!
Yeah forshure! Wishlisted (:
great vid, you get a sub.
Thanks Joe!
This is going to be great with my boys when the co-op comes out. Dungeons of Eternity is great but this has alot more depth. VR co-op games are the very best!
I think they both scratch very different itches! Happy gaming!
Thank you for spoiling with the main boss.
My pleasure! I admit that was a mistake. I tried to warn people in the pinned comment after a few others pointed it out.
Sorry about that!
i love this game and ive been playing it for weeks and want to get involved with the community but i cant find a discord for it!
Here it is! discord.gg/advr
Best VR game I ever played. On par with modded Beat Saber for fun an repeatability.
It’s a hell of a game! I should have another video coming out about this game in a few days.
If you like this then you will definitely like dungeons of eternity.
I most certainly do! Played it a ton the last couple of days. I’m debating on doing a video on it. But I know it’s already getting covered a lot.
I was thinking maybe some ideas I had for making the game even better?? What do you think?
@@bmackVR for sure! Yeah there is always room for improvement. I would be down to finish quests in some of those dungeons like rescue some one or obtain a object. That would get players exploring the dungeons more.
I think it's important to point out that the art style of Ancient Dungeon and Compound is not accurately represented in flat screen.
You can't watch a video and understand, it needs to be seen at the proper scale and in 3D to get it.
It does not look nearly as bad in VR as flatscreen makes it look.
I agree completely. I am sure if I got that point effectively across in this video. I view the art style of both games as one of their strengths.
How is it that I never heard of this game?
Happy I could inform you!
Yo WTF? No spoiler warning for the final boss? (well, to be fair I haven't made it to the bottom so maybe it wasn't lol) that said, good overview of the game.
Ancient Dungeon is a lot of fun, and a great foundation for what could be a must-play VR experience with a bit more substance. I think my biggest issue is the same for most roguelike games in that the story implementation and character development feels hollow. I can tolerate a lot of shortcomings if the story progression is good, but after about 4 hours in, it doesn't look like the characters in the hub have any relevance to your actions in the dungeon. Besides the merchant, I haven't found any NPC interaction within dungeons yet. If these are in the game then I think it is gated off a little too tightly.
As a narrative designer, I would implement some features, items, and general progression by finding linked characters in the dungeon to go back into the hub world, depending on the stuff you find could unlock new dialogue trees that could change how your next run could go. right now there are modifiers that basically do this, but linking classes, relic types, weapons, etc to characters or factions could greatly benefit the connection the player feels to the world. making the hub change between dungeon runs via environmental or character-based storytelling would exponentially contribute to the feeling of agency I have and make me care about what I do within the game... rather than just going through just to go through.
Like I said, the game is fun, and the mechanics are probably enough of an incentive just to get to the end. But for me, a better reason to want to see it through to the end would be offering instances of people to care about, side-stories to unfold, and a justification for WHY I want to get to the end. I dunno why I typed all that, still haven't finished it so maybe this is all in there and I'm just dumb, but if the devs are still working on it then I'm sure some more forms of narrative agency are coming eventually. Good stuff!
My bad!!! Haha and I think I pretty much agree with the issues you have the game. If you were saving and rescuing people trapped down in the dungeon that could be a nice twist. And it would be really rewarding to see that saved person end up in the base camp.
Have you played The Light Brigade? It has a little bit of that incorporated into the game but not much.
@@bmackVR The Light Brigade has narrative stuff? I just thought it was only another Roguelike, but I might have to check it out if it offers a little more.
@@Dylawr3nc3 it doesn’t have a lot. You can do some light reading. But you do save soldiers and a few of them turn into something. I don’t want to oversell the narrative part for you.
spoil the boss in the first minute? wtf bmack?
Yeah maybe that wasn’t the best move on my part haha….
Ok I pinned a post to help people avoid the spoilers! Thanks for bringing this to my attention… and sorry!
