About Street Gods
Street Gods is a VR action rogue-lite that blends Norse mythology with a dystopian New York City. Developed by Soul Assembly, it dropped on Meta Quest 2 in late 2025. You play a chosen warrior wielding Mjolnir in a world where ancient realms have shattered into the modern city, creating chaotic zones of power. The core loop is fast-paced: run, dodge, and punch enemies while navigating procedurally generated maps. It’s a physical game, relying on motion controls for combat and traversal. The setting is grim but vivid, with neon-lit ruins and mythic beasts. Think of it as a mix of beat-'em-ups and rogue-likes, but with VR’s engaging combat. Perfect if you want raw, chaotic action in a broken world.
Gameplay
The game revolves around quick reflexes and brutal melee combat. Each run starts in a randomly generated district filled with enemies, power-ups, and mythic relics. You fight using full-body motions, swipe to slash, thrust to stab, or smash for heavy attacks. The rogue-lite elements mean you’ll die often, but each run gives permanent upgrades. Boss fights are the highlight: you’ll face Norse gods and hybrid monsters with unique abilities. Traversal involves climbing debris and sliding through alleys, all tracked by the Quest 2’s sensors. Sessions are short but intense, usually 20-30 minutes. The difficulty spikes quickly, requiring precise timing and weapon management. While the story is light, the combat’s tactile feedback and chaotic pacing keep it engaging.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community rates it 90%, with 32% completion and an average playtime of 22 hours. 75 achievements track combat milestones and exploration. Reviewers praise the "crisp, punchy combat" and "visually striking world," but some call the difficulty "punishing." Moods are split: 45% label it "Addictive," 25% "Frustrating," and 15% "Impressive." The Meta Quest forums highlight the "realistic motion controls" as a standout feature. Critic scores average 87, with Polygon noting it’s "the most fun I’ve had with VR in years." However, 20% of players quit after hitting the first major boss. Completion time jumps from 10 hours for basics to 35 for 100%, a big ask for casuals.
PlayPile's Take
Street Gods is a must-play for VR fans who love fast, physical action. At $49.99, it’s a solid investment if you enjoy rogue-lites and Norse myth. The combat is thrilling, but the difficulty curve may test patience. If you’re okay with dying often and grinding for upgrades, the 75 achievements and 32% completion rate make it rewarding. Skip this if you prefer casual or story-driven experiences. For hardcore players with a Meta Quest 2, the chaotic, punchy gameplay and engaging world justify the price. Just be ready to restart runs multiple times.
