Man, this is slick! I looks great, plays great, moves great and the gameplay is a whole lot of fun. It eally looks and feels like a major studio has been involved in this. Movement is similar to Lone Echo - only faster. In the same way as that game, movement is intuitive and sorta tricky ( but in a fun way). I used to play Tribes and UT a hell of a lot back in the day - this is basically Tribes in VR! Not many people around for multi-play, as I got it when it had just beeen released (so this is to be expected) - and I have not played for long myself - but long enough to know that this is something special. Frankly, if this does not gain traction as a MP game, we have to scratch our heads and wonder about the future of VR, and whether MP is viable at all in VR. I say this, as it does not come better than what we have here. For this reason I am pretty confident that there will be a strong player base over the long term. Now an admission - Although I used to play a lot of MP FPS back ...

I started playing this game as an early beta tester and hopefully I was the first purchase. This game has really exceeded my expectations of fun and competition. There are probably endless hours you can get out of this game and the development team is constantly adding content and making the game even better. This game is a definite thumbs-up from me. The lightsabers speed ramps guns and movement really put it on another level for me. Everyone tells me it's like a VR version of tribes but I can't confirm as I have never played tribes. I am a long-time Pavlov and onward player and this really scratches the Competitive itch for me.
I was sitting down at work about three days ago, thinking to myself "I just want a shooter that makes absolutely no sense. Something where you're flying around, shooting people and stuff"--This is the exact type of game I was thinking about. No body was playing when I was playing, but even just playing with bots was AMAZING. Love it, 7/10 Hope more people play and that's all I can say.
Damn good game, played against bots for a bit to train. Very nice movement system
I am in no way an expert on VR multiplayer (played Arizona Sunshine, Raw Data, Payday2 and some others), but I can see what makes this one unique. The locomotion system does exactly what the game description says. You are able to move at high speeds, peform jumps, mid-air corrections and epic landings without feeling any of the kind of motion sickness you'd expect. According to the devs, it's related to your brain anticipating the directions and intensity of those movements, sort of like the fact you can't tickle yourself etc. Whether this is the case, the truth is that it works, and lets you navigate the arenas with something much more fluid than a teleport. Gameplay-wise, I can see that it's an early access game, but the core gameplay seems to be extremely polished. Rather than making a mediocre game with a ton of content, it's obvious the effort has been put in making a fun game that is very playable and has the potential to have more content added later on. Probably a wise idea ...
Amazing game! Even in the actual Early Access state the game has a lot more to offer than most of the other VR games out there. Really looking forward for all the new content! I know you can trust the developers as they are being really communicative and responsive during the beta. If you have any suggestion don’t hesitate to ask them in the Discord channel, the will solve it for sure!
Game was cool, but multiplayer was non-existant. There was no building or creative mode available like in the trailer. Movement was similar to Echo VR. I'm returning it.
A really incredible VR game. Controls very fast response, fast action and I think it is not recommended to be the first game you try with your helmets because it can disappoint the rest. Team action, multiplayer and no dizzy effect, as promised. Really a #must if you like shooters. Waiting for competitions and events to start.
Really great game! I liked the part where - how should i put this? IT SUCKED angry face. HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO SHOOT PEOPLE WHEN YOUR GOING MACH 10 IN THE SAHARA DESERT WITH 2 PEOPLE TRAVERSING THROUGH IT.
I bought this game on a whim after seeing the new map on Reddit. I am very happy I did, it has some of the most satisfying movement and gravity I've experienced in VR. It's real floaty so when you hit something at speed you launch into the air, and when on the ground you're moving quite fast. There aren't a whole lot of people playing and the matches are P2P, so if you connect with someone far away there will be lag. That said, the bots are actually pretty fun to play against (they're pretty brutal on hard mode). The developer is very active in Discord and in-game and seems to be pretty cool about suggestions as well as fixing bugs and issues. I'm pretty excited to see where this game goes and I'm glad I bought it.
