Evaluation
Dimension Hunter VR launched on September 25, 2017 and received a solid run of post-launch updates through late 2017. The developer shipped three notable content updates: patch 1.7 (October 2, 2017) added survival mode and new campaign missions, patch 1.95 (November 1, 2017) expanded survival mode further, and the major 2.0 patch (November 24, 2017) added six new survival levels, new monsters, updated gore, and high score tables. The final recorded developer communication was a small bug fix on January 2, 2019, correcting a weapon haptics crash. There have been no developer posts, patches, or announcements of any kind since that date — now over seven years ago. No DLC was ever listed, no roadmap or future content was ever announced, and no developer statement references ongoing plans. The game launched as a complete arcade-style VR experience and received its last update on January 2, 2019.

About this game

The parasitarias cerebrum cancer, or the Dance Dance Party Hat as it was originally marketed, was the No.1 selling party accessory of 2082 on our world. Attach the hat to one of those white wine spritzer drinking wallflowers and watch as they dance like nobody's watching (and occasionally lose control of their bladder). In 2092, the scientific community had discovered thousands of medical uses for the party hats, or brain crabs as they were now referred. These ranged from a remedy for ADHD for small children to curing erectile dysfunction in the elderly. No one knew where they originally came from but, wow, they made us feel sexy!
Over time the brain crab became our friend, our family, and our go-to guy.
Nobody expected what happened 2096 reports started to emerge that users of the brain crab were unable or unwilling to remove their purple-headed friends. Over the following months, the crabs started to slowly burrow into the host's skulls and this triggered some sort of transformation in the host's DNA - mutating them into grotesque monsters, beasts, and croc wearers. Not even the sweet release of death was enough for these cheeky symbiotic crustaceans to let their hosts go; die and they would have you back up within an hour, chatting about the latest fad diet to hit the crabby world - and we are so tired of dieting. Please help us - kill us, kill us allllll!!!
The dimension ship USS Ulysses' crew has been infected with a deadly inter-dimensional biomechanical parasite.
The ship's crew has activated all of the dimension gates allowing the virus to spread throughout time and space causing anomalies and destruction across the ship.
It's your mission to:
- Destroy the infected crew.
- Close all of the dimensional gates
- Hunt and exterminate any infected in other dimensions
- Destroy the Ulysses before it destroys every dimension!
We know what you're thinking, not another skinless zombie shooter mission, well don't be a Pessimistic Pete. Our scans show lots of species and Dimensions have been infected so before you know it you will be slaughtering aliens, werewolves, cyborgs, dinosaurs, demons, and weird fish men that we don't even have a name for yet...let's call them Jeff...death to all JEFFS!!!! MFING JEFFS KILLED MY WIFE…. JJJJEEEFFFFF!!!!... ETC!!!
We will send you weapon upgrades and care packages as and when we can but it's not Christmas, so don't expect a lot.
We have also fitted you with our patent pending anti-brain crab helmet, it's our only prototype so please give it a polish before returning home. Your helmet will afford you some protection but it's not going to stop them from trying to get to your grey matter. As my mother always used to say, “A clean, crab-free helmet is close to godliness”...... my mother was insane, obviously, but still great advice.
Dimension Hunter allows you to immerse yourself in this tongue in cheek, over the top, retro-arcade experience, with a unique choice of free or railed movement. Fast paced, hardcore, fluid gameplay mechanics with a unique, and yet familiar, comic book style of carnage and gore.
