About the game
AGAINST is a combat rhythm VR game that will immerse you in a dark comics story. Follow the beat to shoot and slice your way through evil henchmen of Dr. Vice. Empowering music is your only way out from these crime-ridden streets.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, Geforce GTX 1060 or equivalent, 2 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
26 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 72 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Beat Hazard ($2.99, scores 93) and Rez Infinite ($24.99, scores 53) both outscore it.
More about AGAINST
Of the 284 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2021 to May 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,422 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 162 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 234 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 82 percent of everything written about it.
What players say
If Beat Saber and Pistol Whip had a crack-baby, then this would be AGAINST. Seriously... the gameplay with the different guns feels extremly well designed, the PCVR graphics, the well crafted and varied enemys, the fitting soundtrack, this cheap price, CUSTOM MAP SUPPORT with a level editor.... I dont need to say more, just buy it and have fun!

Шикарная ритм игра! отличные механики и визуальный стиль. бодрый и увлекательный Экспириенс. От игры и от музыки получил удовольствие. Так держать, ребята! Из минусов: некоторые места мне казались асинхронными, как будто бы срабатывание слайса запаздывало. Очень надеюсь что библиотеки уровней будут пополняться. Спасибо!
The game had potential. It really did. The game however seems to have been abandoned by the devs as the latest hotfix was over a year ago. The content that is there is not really good either, at least when I played it the music sync felt very awkward in some sections. For the price of almost 17 euro it is not worth it. Avoid this game.
