I'm impressed! It's early days but the game is well polished and makes good and innovative use of VR. It's like having a private games room in a club with a serious lighting system and a wild sound track to boot (although if you suffer from photosensitivity, steer clear). The control scheme is simple and easy to pickup while making excellent use of the Vive controller. There's also a great feeling of progression as you get through the levels and the difficulty level seems about right. That said, it'll take some serious skillz to master it... If you're looking for a fun VR ready game with a decent sideorder of challenge this is definitely worth a look. It'll be cool to see where this goes - multiplayer especially could be really cool.

Really polished and fun. The controls are really great, and it's just a great example of a relatively simple concept that's been executed very well. The graphics and music are a great fit too. Especially loved the missile levels.
Got it from sale and was about to ask refund, but it's so low cost in sales that it's worth it. I would prefer acro mode and controls with thumb sticks.
Drone Hero is one incredibly great game. I've had a hard time finding VR games that actually provide fun gameplay, but this one is a real winner! The controls are intuitive, the levels are fun and sometimes really challenging, and the music is just great. I'd say this is basically a must-have for any Vive or Oculus owner.
I don't know how I missed this game, or it didn't get more buzz in the community. As someone who has flown RC helis, and really likes The Lab - Xortex, and decided to get VR over getting into FPV drones - this game is amazing! Controls great, and fills the urge to fly a small, hyper-responsive, 3D remote controlled vehicle. Without the pain of crashing, and repairs, and cost. Had I known, I would have paid $10 for it. At $1, it's a steal I feel remorseful about. Buy this amazing hidden gem if anything I said above rings a bell. Just buy it even if it didn't. It's fun as hell!
I'm a huge fan of Drone Hero. What a perfect example of a physics based arcade game in VR. The subtlety of the drones controls is really nice. The colored squares, that provide the light show environment. are way cool. The music is cool as well. I can even appreciate how the floor has a well worn look. Every VR player should own Drone Hero.
Really great control. Luck is part of this game (where the orbs are placed). Love to see added environments such as outside courses.
Not enough content and the physics aren't realistic at all. To ask 10€ for this game (tech-demo) is outrageous. (I must have gotten it cheap(er) in a sale but still too expensive for what it offers)
Good game. Some imbalance in scoring and difficulty due to apparently randomized spawns that don't check the drone's current location. It's possible to be at the spawning point and artificially get full points with no effort. At the same time you could get a bad spawn theoretically and lose points due to no fault of your own. However it's a fun game and this is just some feedback.
An intuitive easy to learn .. hard to master game of drone madness. Pros: The flight dynamics are really An effective and rsposive. I great use of the VR hand controller. note: this game only requires on hand controller. Currently in early access so I feel the developer has a few more tircks up his sleeve in terms of game levels. Some thumping beats.. Cons: The flashng strobe light get a bit much... Would be nice to have the choice to turn them off. Single environment - felt a bit clostrophobic. no multiplayer
