Rocket Swords is a free VR game. It worked on my HTC Vive, Quest 3 via Steam Link, and Index system, looked ok, sounded ok, played ok. You lunge at where your hands are pointing when you pull the trigger, if you have a weapon, you go farther and faster. If you fly into a clown with your weapon, you kill it. If you don't pick a weapon, you have fists with a short lunge. The dev calls the player a "Dum Dum" in the instructions. I didn't see the hoops that you could be flying through. I did not get motion sick playing this for five minutes so that was a plus. The graphics are trippy, hard to describe. There is a lot of rolling objects on ground while playing. You have a count of how many clowns you kill and hoops you hit. The game restarts automatically, after the end scoring. I think the game ran smoothly and, as far as I know, did not install any malware on my computer. Has a wall around the map that says Turn around. You can run into big stuff on the map and get stopped. If you run into clown fire, you get hurt, 3 hurts end the game. This is a short game. Yeah, this looks like a one man's coding college project thrown together quickly, and i guess they didn't care a…

"Rocket Swords" is a woefully bad and apparently incomplete VR tech demo and wow, those screenshots don't lie, this game is ugly. What do you do in the game? The idea is that you just "fly" around and swing around various objects by waving your hands around... and not much else. Once more raising that tremendous and important question... "What's the point?" The graphics aren't great... that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeur than anything else. This agreement includes questionable requirements t…

Игра 'Rocket Swords' - это неожиданно захватывающее сочетание платформера и файтинга, сдобренное щепоткой физики. Управление реактивным ранцем открывает широкие возможности для маневрирования в воздухе и нанесения ударов с неожиданных углов. Бои динамичные и требуют быстрого принятия решений, ведь одно неверное движение может стоить победы. Понравилась оригинальная подача идеи и яркий визуальный стиль. Персонажи запоминающиеся, а арены хоть и простые, но функциональные. Обучение немного сумбурное, приходится разбираться в управлении по ходу дела, но к этому быстро привыкаешь. Не хватает разнообразия в режимах игры и более глубокой системы прогресса. Сейчас мотивация играть держится в основном на желании улучшить свои навыки и побеждать друзей в локальном мультиплеере. В целом, 'Rocket Swords' - это забавная и динамичная игра, которая подойдет для вечеринок с друзьями или просто для того, чтобы скоротать время. Если разработчики продолжат ее развивать и добавлять новый контент, то у нее есть все шансы стать настоящим хитом.

Its free for a reason
