About Yoren
The world of Yoren
The world of Yoren is is a dangerous place filled with mystical creatures, witches and ghouls. You are a lone bounty hunter collecting runes to become the strongest mage of Yoren.
Your journey starts at your hideout deep within Yoren's icy mountains. Here you can safely practice your magic against the dummies in the practice field, or craft potions and wands at your very own forge.
Yoren is currently in early access, this means that some parts of the game are still undergoing development. Currently the game mainly serves as an experimental magic sandbox. Bugs, glitches and performance issues are to be expected.

Before you start looting and exploring the fallen kingdoms and dungeons of Yoren looking for special artifacts and runes you've got to be prepared for anything or anyone crossing your path. All around the world of Yoren are crystals growing. Perfect for brewing potions, or crafting wands. Discover new recipes, ingredients and spells along the way.

Combat, spell casting & runes
Yoren uses cutting-edge VR technology for spell casting. Draw rune shape gestures to select and cast spells, each with their own individual sign and ability. Yoren aims to make use of the newest VR technology, such as the pressure sensitivity in the Valve Knuckles controllers. No button pressing, just squeeze lightly in the controller to activate your spell.

Dungeons & fallen kingdoms
After you've brewed your potions, it's time to enter the dungeon. In Yoren there are several dungeons and fallen kingdoms. In these areas you can collect area-specific loot, and encounter it's boss. With each dungeon or kingdom you beat, you learn a new rune. Each rune has it's own element for example water, fire and blood. Each element has it's own advantages. Some may be more focused on healing, whilst others are far more aggressive depending on your play style.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
So of course it's early access, but right now if you are someone who wants to play this game and NOTHING past that, it is not worth $20. I'd say it would be worth $9 to someone like me. HOWEVER; if you are a passionate VR player, you may see that this game has a lot of potential, as I also see. If you would like to support the developer in making this game and watching the game as it progresses, then go ahead and buy the game and join their discord. The one thing that I will make sure I say, though, is that the developer does seem like a genuine guy and passionate about this game. I look forward to seeing the progress of this game in the future, but right now it isn't worth buying to an average consumer. *edit* - I decided to list the things that I thought ill of this game to help people see why I was harsh, please keep in mind im not really trying to be spiteful, just honest, and again if you as a consumer want to support the developer, go ahead! In order of time experienced, they go as follows: the vast majority of objects in the game are apart of the map asset and are as such uninteractable. the grab/hold mechanism in the game feels very floaty and unimmersive. the physics o…6 found this helpful
I supported this game on kickstarter and had very high hopes for it. The environments are beautiful, the monsters well desgined, the magic effects amazing. However, after more than a year with no update, no communication, or anything, I cannot recommend this game for any price. It appears to have hit a dead end in development, and i don't expect it to make it past the stage it is in right now. I have much more than .6 hours, however, steam only shows what i have played since it was released on their platform.5 found this helpful
Played on the Cosmos Elite, Watch my video here https://youtu.be/voxjqkQ9Ahg Graphics is so sweet. I really like the look of many of the different environments you get to go to and see. One minute I feel I'm in a dudgeon, next I'm in Skyrim. Audio does add to the immersion in this game and for an early access game it works well. Gameplay: It is early access and we need to bare this in mind. You learn runes to cast cool looking particle spells. You can gain more of these runes by completing bounties on the bounty board. There is a place to practice your casting and there is a place for crafting items like health potions. I did come across some bugs and the response from the developer has been nothing, but fast to fix these. Frame rate is low when driving the 1700p Cosmos Elite screen. I've got a RTX 2080ti. This isn't usual for early access games. Overall a really fun immersive spell casting game.2 found this helpful
Game was abandonned. Enough said
Shame. I backed this game when I saw it on kickstarter. Looked super promising but the developer when silent and refuses to answer any @‘s in his discord. Game has been abandoned, don’t waste your cash.
In its current state, no I would not recommend this game. Great concept, reminds me a lot of arx vitalis, good designs for enemies. However the hitboxes dont exist, and when they do, they do not actually exist where they logically would.(such as having to 'clip' through the wall to get past a door.) The game was released almost a year ago, and hopefully it is updated very soon, and fixes this. The main issue for me would definitely be collision and hitboxes
