Yar's Revenge

Absolutely horrible controls! As a big on-rails shooter fan, I was looking forward to this, but it just plays so badly. Some interesting ideas, and it looks pretty good. I'd say one of the worst aspects, even if only a subtle one, is the player and the on-screen gameplay feel... kind of detatched, as if the player doesn't exist in the same world, almost as if it's simply a video in the back ground that you can vaguely interact with. All in all it's just kind of mediocre. I knew it was going to be bad after hearing the reviews of the xbox 360 version, but... it's not even 'so bad it's good', just really really bland. Avoid.

[b]Some ancient Atari game about a bug that kills a big round thing became a shoot em up about a female 4-handed mech suit pilot? What's next, the Legend of Zelda with Link wearing only his pants? Oh wait..[/b] The game is actually decent, I have fun playing with it, and the controls are ok The graphics are so simplistic that the game could probably run on the original DS. (Not necessarily a bad thing). The levels are big but somewhat few. In order to make the game fullscreen, change resolution and make it run on 60 fps see this guide here https://steamcommunity.com/app/99120/discussions/0/517141882718533179/ The story though is more forgettable than Twilight and rushed. A 5 min "cutscene" (2 pictures and text below without any voice acting) can only give you so much backstory In short, buy it only when it's below 5 euros (75% off and more) if you want to have a "side-game" to play alongside your main game. If you like games similar to Kid Icarus Uprising then you will enjoy playi...

Sub par game? I really have to ask what kind of gamers are out there. I grew up playing panzer dragoon on the sega dreamcast. I been around gaming almost since it's infancy. Now a days it's about first person shooters anything else is subpar. What a shame. If you liked games like panzer dragoon or panzer dragoon orta you'll like Yar's Revenge. Rip off of original Yar's Reveng. Nothing to do with the original. Thank goodness. The original does not look this good nor play this well. To compare the both is like comparing a calculator to a ps vita. Problems-It's locked at 30fps. Go to ini and change to 60 fps. Not at 1080, same thing. Unluck in ini in the steam folder. Not full screen. You get the picture. Went to nvidia settings and set it at SLI 16x CSAA. Why? Because I could.....PCMR.

[h1] Starting the game might be very daunting... Clunky controls, problems with high resolutions, running in fullscreen mode and some other minor bugs. On the contrary gameplay is not bad as it resembles arcade style rail shooters where you dodge from incoming bullets and such. Levels are fun to play as you fly through different environments. Boss fights are entirely different each and might get quite tough. Graphic is not the greatest now and textures are rather blurry. Music and sounds are mediocre. With some kind of patch it would've been a great arcade experience but currently running game feels like a chore. Play only if you like arcade shooters! [/h1]

This is a pretty neat game, but suffers from one flaw that is driving me balls. You can invert controls for aiming, but NOT for flying. I feel like I'm trying to rub my belly and pat my head while shooting hordes of bugs. I really wanted to enjoy this game.

Yars Revenge Yar’s Revenge is by no means a bad game but it is neither a very exciting game. Looking at some of the images and trailers, I click the add in cart button on impulse. The 60% discount on a already cheap game also just made that temptation impossible to resist. I was hoping that it will transport me back to the Panzer Dragoon moments of old. A time I was busy experimenting which games can work on my old PC from 1997 which seem to struggle with the then wow graphics. As with my Doom review, I somehow always ended up with Doom or Wolfenstein. Panzer Dragoon was one of the few games that did work somewhat and was a remarkably fun diversion for me. Flying on a dragon, shooting lasers at enemies in a unique world and a rather relaxing somber orchestral/techno soundtrack was pretty darn cool. Although the occasional crashes on my struggling PC kind of sour those moments but anyway does Yar’s Revenge scratch that itch. Well somewhat but fails at a few departments as well. Y...

This is a pretty good distraction to keep you busy for around an hour if you're into shooters, and a GREAT re-imagining of the original story to Yar's Revenge. This is a dual-analog on-rails shoot-em-up that's easy to pick up. The soundtrack is actually really good. Alas, I don't think this game is worth $10. Be sure to keep an eye on it during the Steam sales, though.

It's fun rail 3D rail shooter, with a bit of challenge. I read some of the negative reviews say either 'controller is bad' or 'just a typical rail shooter'. 1: possibly cos they are using a typical PC gaming control setting to play this non-PC game making it difficult. 2: they never played Panzer Dragoon, hence why they think its a House of the Dead clone. Though the control setting doesn't have the settings for game pad but its easy to learn after you know the buttons, not difficult. Been a long time since I played a game that is close to Panzer Dragoon since the last game in early 2000, and I love it, simple fun.

Yar's Revenge (Remaster) - Wow, I mean wow, I have never taken to disliking a game right off the the get-go, but wow, I can honestly say this feels WRONG in every sense of word. The installation and configuration seemed real, for lack of a better, unrefined, literally to get into the configurations it brings up a command line interface, which just screams to me someone did not think this through. In game experience is just as bad, graphics are not too bad, concept seems off from Yar's Revenge, but has just enough of the original feel in the story line (which feels fully fabricated), but as I said, just enough to where I could continue on. Here is where is truly went of the rails for me, who in their right minds thinks these controls up, mind you I am keyboard player and often I expect some challenges with said configuration, you get use to is as you work through them (think Parallax Software - Descent), but, OMG they are so bad, at I have a Razer Naga Mouse, and the sensitivity is wh...

This is actually a fairly fun game. Honestly I only bought it because I owned an Atari 2600 as a kid and had Yar's Revenge for that system, and wanted to see what an update / sequel would possibly be like so many years later. It doesn't seem all that related to the original, actually. I mean the story is, very very vaguely, similar, but other than that -- different gameplay, different feel, different tone, different everything. The original was just a masterpiece. It'd be nice if this contained the original as a mini-game or something inside it, but nope, it doesn't. I guess they had the game license and wanted to use it for some slight popularity. And for me it worked. But most Steam gamers are younger than me and never even heard of Yar's Revenge, so I doubt this trick works on most people. Basically the game is a On-Rails Shooter. If ever played a game where you move along a path and have to shoot everything that appears in front of you, quickly, before it disappears, it's like tha...
