About Raid on the Ruhr

✦ AI summary

Raid on the Ruhr puts you in the cockpit of a Lancaster bomber flying a low-altitude bombing run on German dams using the revolutionary bouncing bomb from the legendary 1943 Operation Chastise. Engage enemy fighters and anti-aircraft defenses as you navigate the treacherous Ruhr Valley in this arcade action game inspired by one of WWII's most audacious aerial missions.

In May 1943, the RAF’s Bomber Command began the formation of a new squadron, codenamed Squadron ‘X’.

A team of bomber and nightfighter veterans was assembled from every part of the Commonwealth to deliver a very special payload – the brainchild of inventor Barnes Wallis.

These airmen have trained in secret for months in low-altitude flying and bombing without knowing their final purpose.

The Target: Three hydroelectric dams deep within the heartland of Industrial Germany.

The Delivery Method: 19 Lancaster Bombers, flying below radar.
The Payload: ‘Upkeep’, a four-ton bomb designed to skim over water like a skipping stone.

Fly and shoot your way through the rivers of the Ruhr Valley while reliving this incredible feat of daring, brilliance and skill.

Kind of a hesitant neutral rating at this stage, can't really recommend it unless you're really interested in the Dam Busters and can get it on sale, but it's not a hard negative either, particularly as I'd like to see more historical VR. It's not very long and the production quality of the actual flight scene is much lower than what I saw in Apollo 11 (Which I really enjoyed.) I was quite surprised and disappointed about the lack of detail in the scenery. (The cockpit was reasonable, but the outside world was mostly fairly flat shapes and not at all realistic.) The start menu in the room is really well done and the video a nice touch, wish the rest of the program was that quality. I'd happily pay more for something that was good quality throughout. Someone else was watching in when I played it who has also seen Apollo 11 and was surprised it was made by the same company. Their comment was that it seemed like a work in progress and asked if it was still being worked on to improve the quality. (Which I don't think it is.) Using WMR so it's not designed for that, but everything ran fine in cinematic mode. For interactive I found the controls were glitchy and I can't get past the tu…

I have to say. I absolutely love the Immersive VR team. I've had my mind blown by Apollo 11, Titanic and the Berlin Bombing raid. That said, I have no Idea what happened with this game. It doesn't live up to their reputation on any level. I regretted buying this almost instantly. It looks and feel like a 90s arcade game with all of the bugs and none of the charm. Skip this one and try out Apollo 11 and Titanic.

Having Played and loved Apollo 11 HD and Titanic VR. I was expecting something a bit better than this arcade endless runner with historical elements. Firstly though, I aplaude the dev's guts for attempting to make this a fun experience, but ultimately it came off feeling somewhat rushed an also a little disrepectful, historically. Compared with the sinking scene in Titanic VR which was treated with care, in this, the training and any sense of comradery between the crew is all rushed through to drop us into the action. I would have preferred to have a high quality version of the Arvo Lancaster to walk around and familiarise myself with. And even the ability to use a grip and pull locomotion method to get into each of the positions on the plane, it would have helped give a sense of scale and presence which is lacking when you're just stuck in a seat. While the cockpit looked quite nice, the external detail of buildings and forests was entirely lacking. And all the little gamified elements, recycled assets of trees buildings etc were repeated ad nauseam on the journey to the dam. And while I do appreciate the difficulty of re creating the actual flight to target, as well as the …
