Thank you Spheroom for sending us the review code!

Requisition VR is a zombie survival game that requires you to find unique ways of fending off hordes of the undead. It allows you to choose from a plethora of different ways to go about slaughtering any beasts that come across your path to survival and, eventually, finding a cure to restore society. These many methods may consist of building traps, explosives, using any random item you find, or constructing your own item using various household objects. With friends or by yourself, this game’s intense gameplay and gimmicks make it much worth buying. It can only be played in VR, but makes the most of the virtual reality experience.

Something unique about Requisition is that you can combine items that you find to create something new. “Something new” may consist of either the two items mashed together with some duct tape, or they could turn into a whole new, very powerful weapon that has a unique purpose, gimmick, and unmatched power compared to any random item you may find. An example of this is when you combine a welding torch and a leaf blower, you get a flamethrower that incinerates zombies to the point where they’re even more dead than they normally are. Even if a combination you make isn’t a special weapon, you can still make some powerful combinations yourself by maybe using a regular object and attaching something sharp to the end of it.

Multiplayer is available and is quite entertaining due to many factors such as proximity voice chat, exclusive game modes, as well as the fact that, to most people, games are generally more fun with friends. Multiplayer games are structured similarly to single player in the sense that you pick a mode in the lobby and play it, except it allows for voting to skip cutscenes (if you play a normal game mode). You can play against one another in the capture the flag and deathmatch modes as well. Unfortunately, even though the multiplayer is really fun, not very many people play the game often enough for there to be active servers and people for you to join. There's always a notification when a new multiplayer lobby is created, but if a game is started before you can get there, you have to wait for another one (or that game to end).

There are currently 3 types of zombies that you will come across throughout the game. First off, there’s the basic zombie that has little health and attacks by either swinging at you or jumping. They can be easily killed by taking any sharp or hard object and swinging it very quickly at their head. If this doesn’t work, try again. The next type you’ll encounter is referred to as a zombee, as it has a killer bee hive essentially melted onto its skin next to its head. It sends said killer bees after you for ranged damage, and is killed in a pretty similar fashion to the first type. The final, and most difficult type to defend against is the fatso zombie. They have a lot of health and large size, and attack by charging at you with high speeds and force. Killing them requires you to, again, smack their head with whatever you have, except they can tank a lot more hits so you need to dodge the attacks they may try to use.

Currently there are 3 game modes in single player that you can slay the undead in. First off, there’s the story mode that contains a few levels that go in order in terms of difficulty scaling and, of course, the story itself. The story itself is pretty simple, as it’s basically just that a mysterious fog showed up and turned everyone into zombies (except for you, because that would be weird). Your main objective is to survive and find a cure. The story missions make you complete a few objectives such as searching for items and bringing them somewhere and killing anything that tries to stop you, or maybe destroying biomass (that the zombies come from) and fighting off anything they may spawn. The second mode you can play is called horde. In this mode, you have two minutes to gather any weapons that may help you fight off the brain-eating beasts that will inevitably show up. After the two minute period, you must fight off waves of the monsters that you’ve ideally prepared for. The third mode is a sandbox, which places you at a house with a table in the backyard with spawning options to play around with and test your skills. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really let you pick what you can summon though. Instead, it has buttons like “spawn random item” or “spawn random weapon.”

The graphics aren’t half-bad, since the lighting is fairly accurate and the models are pretty smooth. There isn’t too much music, but it plays intense upbeat music during waves and creepy ambiance everywhere else. There aren’t too many glitches that I found, but I feel that some things regarding the combination of items need to be changed a little bit. The controls are simple and easy, and are explained pretty well in the tutorial. They use the joysticks on the controllers for movement, and they're pretty smooth and comfortable. It also has some pretty unique features such as reaching to a certain point on your body to use a specific feature. For example, reaching over your left shoulder and grabbing pulls out your backpack to store items in, or maybe the right side of your chest allowing you to grab duct tape for crafting.

Morally, Requisition has a few issues. For one, it has a lot of strong language, as well as whatever online players choose to say. The first mission is fairly friendly when it comes to language, whether it be the cutscene or the dialogue you’ll hear in the middle of missions from your “commander” character. The second mission, on the other hand, starts the cutscene with some F-bombs and misuse of the Lord’s name. Then, in the mission, many more are dropped and it definitely sets the example for what is to come. Not only is the language category rather interesting, but there are some sexual immoralities present as well. For one, the characters don’t dress very equipped for a zombie apocalypse, to say the least. You also can make your character look similarly, so you can join that club if you really want to. I’m glad that I checked on the game since the Valentine’s Day update as well, because they added sex toys in the lobby and an item you can craft with them. On top of all this, there’s a bit of blood and gore, which comes with the ability to chop off the limbs of enemies, but still should be mentioned.

Requisition VR is a very fun experience, especially in multiplayer. If you have friends that you think might want to play it, encourage them to get it along with you so that you can eliminate the dead together. I really enjoyed the multiplayer, when I could find a server, and I think you would too. On top of that, the stories that the missions tell are interesting, and the combat is very intense and gets your heart pumping. It’s definitely worth the price, so go spend 20 bucks if you’re into this sort of thing and have the capabilities of playing it.
