TAG WAR VR

It was like being attacked by shopping trolleys in an Asian supermarket and I only had an Umbrella for my defence. What do I mean "like" it was exactly what it was and I loved every second of it. One to have a look at but maybe priced a little high, need MP friends with it or just play against bots. First ten minutes or so of first play in video. https://youtu.be/wwoEZ4Ue5VU

It's like Splatoon + Human fall flat in VR. Weird and fun.

I'm gonna be honest, as for now I can't really recommend this game. It's hard to develop successful multiplayer game, but making one for VR only is much harder. As for now servers are empty, what leads to no new users, because who wants to buy a game where is no other players to play with, that's a loop that somehow need to be broken. But back to game [list] [*]Tutorial shows you what you need to do, how to move, but i think it's missing a match against easy bots, so new player wo't be overwhelmed by everything that happens. [*]Locomotion is [i]weird[/i] on HTC VIVE you only use top and bottom part of touchpad, to move forward and backwards, and you go where you look, and that last part is what in my opinion is weird. Usually you use whole touchpad to move in direction where you touch, so camera is independent from direction that you'r going, but not in that game, and you can't change it, only thing that you can enable/disable is vision tunneling that helps reduce locomotion sickness for some people, but i think more locomotion options would help. [*] bots really are just bots, that dont care about player, and when servers are empty, you can play against bots, with no difficulty …

So since this game is still in the early stages of development it has obviously problems. The biggest problem are the controls which have been improved by getting the possibility of walking left and right but that is with both sticks. The is no turning with the right control stick only manually turning in your room which is possible but kind of annoying to say the least. Another problem i have is the menu which looks nice but is really confusing for me like what is what. Scanning the Bar code on the weapon somewhere too your right to get the option on your screen to your left instead of having some text over it too say what it is. Smaller problem i have is the lag in the game but that is probably just part of being that early in the development. The weapons which you can throw are really difficult to use for me and mostly fall down in front of me (hope it is just me being not good enough for it). The idea with getting weapons on the way by scanning the banners is nice but there are too many for me and it could get replaced with some deco articles or other things. This game might be good in the future for people who want a chaotic and quirky game but as of now not really.

Can't say much about the game because I had a hard time running it properly. Movement system needs total overhaul because it's very complicated and causes nausea. It's hard to understand what is going on within match since UI is quite minimal. The concept itself is funny, but it needs much more development time to make it work properly.
