Smashing The Battle VR

[b]I played this on the Oculus Rift with Xbox controller and had zero issues.[/b] I'm not sure why the dev put HTC vive only, especially on the June 15th update, which might scare potential buyers away. Maybe the dev wants them to go to the Oculus Store page instead, but if so, that's a pretty short-sighted way to look at things. The game plays almost exactly as the video on the store page. It's an action brawler beat em up with many different powerups on cooldowns. You have to evade and attack at the right times. I would say it comes very close to being a buttom smasher, except you can't just evade when you want and you do have to keep track of your cooldowns. Also, there's lots of enemies you have to prioritize and areas to stay away from because of explosions. There's lots of positives, but also some very big negatives. [u][b]Positives: [/b][/u] + Nice stylized graphics + Easy to get into gameplay + Comic book anime story type cutscenes + lots of unlocks/customizables + two different ways to play with both characters + lots of enemy types and powerups [u][b] Negatives: [/b][/u] - poor level design, i swear each corridor looks almost the same, not much variety (BIG M…

So in spite of myself, I ended up buying this game, as I was craving third-person action in VR. Despite the... exotic choices made by the developers regarding character models (less delicate version: half-naked anime-esque female protagonist), I actually was quite impressed. It's a VERY mindless hack-and-slash (single button for attack, no real 'combos' to speak of, enemies are dumber than even ___ Warriors grunts), BUT... technically speaking, the game is stupendous. The video uploaded to this channel, I think, is for the 2D version. It doesn't quite communicate how the game looks in VR. Your VR perspective is of the "virtual tabletop" variety, and you basically watch a fully-3D scene of your character running around (with some experimentation, despite it being a static/seated experience, I found that I could actually reposition the "reference orientation" of my Vive, and then move around the play space to make it more like an isometric top-down game). It's unfortunate that the game itself is so technically simple in terms of gameplay mechanics, because everything else is on-point. Graphically, the simple cartoon-y artwork kept the game happily humming at full framerate while st…

This is great fun, if a little repetitive. I thoroughly recommend it.

very nice use of VR. not the typical FPS. love playing this game. want to come back and give it more time but with so many VR games to play its hard to get back into it. but definitely a tough hack and slash game. worth the price of 11 bucks

Pleasantly surprised at how fun this was to actually play.

great
