It could be good, and another VR strategy game by the same dev shows promise, but the akward controls sink it for me. Ships automatically repositioning themselves in a game where what angle you attack from matters, being unable to set your ships' angle manually, the fact that ships (and this becomes a problem with strike craft) can only attack one unit at a time when they are specifically attacking that unit so anti-fighter ships will sit there twiddling their thumbs until the fighters stop mauling your capital ship and attack it, the bizarre AI that has instructions on how you're supposed to play and a lobotomy... while I only played a few levels, I tried each one except the tutorial multiple times with different loadouts and strategies, and it was and promises to continue to be a fight against your own ships doing what you want as much as against the enemy AI. As mentioned earlier, the enemy AI isn't spectacular, so that might actually be accurate. Multiple times, they took a ship wi...

About This Game
On the bridge of your flagship, a holographic projector shows your fleet floating in space, facing the enemy and awaiting your orders. Command nimble squadrons of fighters, specialized frigates, and giant capital ships as you orchestrate your forces toward victory.
The new Deluxe Edition includes new missions and ships, for a total of 15 unique ship types. Play through 36 Campaign missions, create your own in Skirmish mode, or play a Multiplayer match against your friends or a stranger. The multiplayer is turn-based, so you don't need to be online at the same time as your opponent. You can input your fleet's orders on your own time and come back to continue playing the match later!

Wow. Unrelenting, TBS (Turn-Based Strategy) space combat. This ain't RTS (Real-Time Strategy) here. You General Nerdniks, know what I mean, but to newcomers, the action is suspended after every turn, allowing you to adjust tactics in the comfort of the most Super-Slo-Mo, available, "Pause"!... or, as it's known in strategy game circles, "Coffee-Time(TM)". (Pre-Ps. I got this in a bundle with a ground-based RTS, from the same devs, but I've yet to play) This is the one to try if you wanna get into TBS. It's intuitive, but hard, meaning it will teach you every strategy trick out there, by punishing you for mistakes, positional shields being an example. You'll have to flank around an enemy with some of your forces to attack the opposition from their most vulnerable side, a favourite strategy by elementary particles, for the last 14 billion years. Keep the same in mind when defending. The game gives you good information on every ships strengths vs opponents, which really helps. M...
this game is too hard to make it anywhere
OK, but for the money it's rather repetitive and rock paper scissorsy, I'd get the whole bundle on sale were I you.
Thought id give it a try on oculus rift to see if it worked and it does seem to work fine. I purchased the bungle and all games work with rift with touch,took the chance because you can always refund,anyways it all seems good.
