Postapocalyptic FPS shooter designed for virtual reality goggles set in the snow-covered ruins of Los Angeles. The production boasts a large feature campaign and a cooperative multiplayer mode.
After the Fall is an FPS designed for VR goggle users, set in the post-apocalyptic United States. The developer of the title is Vertigo Games, which specializes in the development of VR technology. In 2016, the team has released the FPS Arizona Sunshine, as well as After the Fall created for Oculus Rift goggles.
After the Fall takes place in the alternative rendition of the year 2005, twenty years after the apocalyptic catclysm that originated in the pandemic caused by the introduction of dangerous boosters to the market, with time turning people into mindless beasts called Snowbreed. Players traverse the frozen ruins of Los Angeles as one of the few survivors hiding deep beneath the city's surface. To survive and fight the monsters, they use gadgets and weapons utilizing technology from the 1980s.
After the Fall is a classic FPS, where controls are based on the use of a standard gamepad or motion controllers working with VR goggles. Unlike many other VR FPS games, the title has a major story campaign, with film cut-scenes and spectacular action sequences. The opponents in the game are the aformentioned Snowbreed, appearing in many various forms. They like to attack in large groups, which requires players to take a tactical approach to battles, as well as reasonable use of limited resources. The game features a large arsenal of available firearms, as well as gadgets useful in combat.
Campaign in the game can be completed solo or with friends in online co-op mode. After the story is over, players gain access to additional missions, challenges and tasks.
After the Fall boasts high-quality three-dimensional audiovisuals and looks impressive compared to other VR productions, given the size of the maps and the number of opponents that may appear in front of our character's eyes.

Game Ratings for After the Fall Video Game.
PlayStation Universe: 7.5 / 10 by John-Paul Jones
The definitive version of After The Fall thanks in no small part to the impressive capabilities leveraged by the PSVR2 hardware, After The Fall: Complete Edition still makes its mark as a roundly enjoyable VR shooter, albeit one that comes slightly unstuck thanks to some dodgy AI and not quite enough maps or unique modes for players to get their teeth into over the long-term.
WellPlayed: 7 / 10 by Adam Ryan
Aping great co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead but in the VR space, After the Fall provides a fun yet fleeting experience that could do with more to do.
ZTGD: 7.5 / 10 by Terrence Johnson
Like I said at the outset, After the Fall is a fun game albeit a very short one. Yes, there is an extra PvP Team-Deathmatch mode that is moderately fun if you like VR multiplayer shooters. I found it very passable, no real issue other than I just want a fan; but if you like the VR shooters like Pavlov among many others then you may have some fun in the deathmatch. The story for the game is really just an excuse to team up with friends, and that’s ok because whether you play with friends or random folks like me After the Fall does enough to make your time spent with it feel enjoyable; and really isn’t that all we really want from our video games?
