You play as police officers clearing locations under threat, neutralizing hostiles and rescuing civilians across a series of handcrafted missions. The game can be played in VR or with traditional first-person controls.
Missions focus on checking rooms and corners, choosing when to engage, and completing objectives. Location-based damage lets you target an opponent’s arm to disarm them or their legs to limit their movement.
Play solo with an AI partner, team up locally with one VR player and one desktop player, or play online with up to four people. Randomized enemy and civilian spawns change encounters; completing objectives and replaying missions can unlock weapons, while Sandbox mode lets you adjust mission density and other settings.
Players often enjoy the tactical room-clearing and playing co-op, especially the option for VR and desktop players to team up. Reviews also praise the weapon handling, challenging missions, and replay value. Some describe the AI as unreliable or the difficulty as punishing, and others report bugs or control problems.
In a city under fire, it’s up to Officer Faust and Officer Lo to clean up the streets. Play as Faust or Lo, or the rest of the police force, to breach-and-clear your way through over 23 hand-crafted missions as you are tasked with neutralizing hostile threats and rescuing civilians.
“Fast and Low” is a violent and intense tactical shooter that is depicted within a colorful and cartoonish setting. One of the key features of “Fast and Low” is that it can be played both in VR, or entirely using traditional FPS mouse/keyboard controls. Whereas the VR player will be able to physically peek around corners, and blind-fire from safety, FPS players are in turn given a wider array of tools and equipment.
Players can play through the missions Solo (with an AI partner), Local Asymmetric Multiplayer (1 VR Player + 1 FPS Player on the same PC), or engage in up to 4-player Online Multiplayer Co-op.
Fast and Low features location-based damage for both hostiles and civilians. Shoot a hostile in the arm to disarm them, or target their legs to cripple them—making them far more likely to surrender!

The vision of Fast and Low was to create a violent, and engaging tactical shooter, set within a colorful cartoonish world. This was meant to be a difficult game akin to the old-school “SWAT” or “Rainbow Six” series. Enemies will be able to kill players quickly within one or two bursts, but likewise, players can quickly dispatch targets with well-placed headshots.
Each weapon is also carefully crafted with its own unique recoil behaviour, making each firearm feel distinct and satisfying to use.
One of the KEY features of Fast and Low is its ability to allow VR players to play locally with a buddy (via Asymmetric Multiplayer) on the same computer. I felt that there weren’t enough games currently in VR that allowed interaction between a VR player and the outside world.
Just MYSELF! Fast and Low started off as a passion project which I was working on during my spare time. From the Early Access launch in June 2019, to the Full Release in April 2023, and now the “Reloaded” update, this project has definitely come a long way in the past 8 years. Being able to work full-time on this passion project is something I never take for granted, and it’s all thanks to the amazing feedback and support from this community.
My goal is to continue making more fun VR content for people to enjoy!
