‘Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2’ Review – VR’s Smartest, Most Hardcore Roguelike

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 is here, bringing a heaping dose of the shooting range fun and gun realism you’re used to from the original. Now you can also take on an extraction-based roguelike campaign that puts your shooting (and reloading) abilities to the ultimate test. Read on to find out why it may just be VR’s smartest, most hardcore roguelike to date.

Developer: RUST LTD
Publisher: RUST LTD, Creature
Available On: Quest, SteamVR
Reviewed On: Quest 3
Release Date: November 12th, 2026
Price: $40

Undoubtedly, this game is for the people who love the original Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, which on the face of things isn’t really saying much since it’s a sequel to the game that’s been cooking in Steam Early Access for a decade. At its heart though, Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 is a roguelike shooter built atop the scaffolding of a gun simulator. Newcomers to the series may find it a little daunting at first, but also surprisingly deep and rewarding too.

At first, you’re thrown into the game with minimal explanation, which can be frustrating, especially if you haven’t followed along with developer Anton Hand’s regular dev logs which do a much clearer job of describing the game’s various systems.

The expectation is that you’ll stumble your way through multiple deaths before figuring out how to reload each gun, how to clear levels, how the game’s in-universe currency works, and a host of other important things that I kind of wish were more apparent at the onset of the game.
