Ascension VR

Ascension is one of my favorite card games, and this is a good adaption of that to the virtual world. However, I have two main problems with this version. Firstly, the lack of online players, which I hope changes as the game evolves, but right now it is really hard to find a match. Secondly, the biggest issue is the lack of cards. There are only 52 cards at the moment and none of the expansion packs, which I can see getting dull rather quick. I assume these will be added in patches though as well as virtual currency as there is a greyed out shop panel, but once this game gets enough cards, I can see it being great fun. I'm still giving this a thumbs up review as I want more people to play with, but do keep in mind the content is pretty limited right now.

VR is offering a new perspective on card and strategy games. I'm quite fond of having a unique "doll house" or all powerful overseer view of a game. It's immersive and adds a level of charm and fun that standard gaming doesn't come close to providing. Ascension VR is another attempt at the deck building, card slinging genre for VR. It claims it's the first, and has an expansion already. However, with all the possibility and potential of VR, this game offers nothing but a deck of cards floating in your face. There's a very nice looking and colorful environment that surrounds you as you play, but this is the extent of the VR experience. While other card games are treating the player with life size ogres and summoned creatures, that make you feel like you're part of the battle, Ascension offers nothing but icons and card images. What's worse, the cards actually obfuscate the view of your opponent. There are even depth issues where cards meld through one another, causing a mo...

I've not played much yet. It looks good in principle, but there is one big disappointment: the VR is wasted. I was hoping for something in the style of the Card Wars episode of Adventure Time. That would have been really cool, to see some sort of environment affected by the cards, and the creatures battling each other. This though is just a very simple adaptation of a card game to VR. It's not a bad thing, but it seems to waste the potential, it could be much cooler than it currently is.

This is a quality VR game made for multi headsets but works rather well for vive. It says controller support but you can use the vive controller as well. Graphics are excellent, cards are readable, the gameplay is simple to hard depending how choose your cards. You can spend hours and hours playing and learning. THis is definetly not a 2 hour game! You can have lots of fun with a buddy or 4 buddies who own the game.

+ Fun Deck Builder Card Game + Multiplayer + Not too pricey compared to the actual card game IRL - It's a card game in VR. Might as well just play Table Top Simulator. - Not much to do. - No one in multiplayer to play with 2/5 Not enough people to play against, AI are terrible and predictable, and not really enough in game to recommend. Maybe if it was cross platform like the PC version, but not recommendable like this. It's also missing most of the expansions.

Overall it isn't bad. If you like Acension, you will like this game. Only problem is, Acension is the kind of game where it doesn't really matter what your opponent does. It is a more of a race to the finish line. Once you realize this, you switch the game speed to instant, and it is like VR solitaire.

Great game! I hope to see more environments added, and more fine-tuned hand interactions for the vive controllers. If you were a fan of the original, this translates great to VR.

Not a good fit for VR

Liiike, i think Ascension is a really cool game and everything... but why is this VR? Not sure if that really adds anything. That being said, the game is super solid and fun. Just needs another expansion or three for a deeper card pool to take off. I'll give a thumbs up for the core game itself, but don't get it if you already have another version of the game. The VR upgrade is not significant to spend the money on the same game again.

A fun and soild card game with the VR. Its not more than that. I have only played against the AIs but I think this engine would be cool to see with other games if that can happen.
