Black Trail VR

Both the demo and the full game did not work for me when running openxr oculus (Meta Horizon Link) for my Oculus Rift CV1. With openXR oculus set it would load to the Saloon but as soon as I tried to load into a level after the cutscenes you would get a black screen and continuously loading with the Oculus loading hourglass rotating, after some time the game would appear on the monitor screen but not inside the headset where you still had the black screen. When changing to openxr steamvr the game would work and load as it should but the performance was horrible with frame rate spikes everywhere . I refunded which is a shame as it looked like a game I would have enjoyed for the sale price of £10.49. The devs seem be nowhere to be seen looking at the discussion page so refunded. If you use OpenXR Oculus (Meta Horizon LInk) try the demo before buying.

Ich bin jetzt durch mit den zehn Missionen am Anfang. Nun Battle ich mich durch die Leaderbords als Kopfgeldjäger. OK die Grafik könnte besser sein, stellenweise wurde ich dann aber doch von ein paar Elementen überrascht. Preis Leistungsverhältnis muss ich sagen passt schon, wenn man alle zehn Missionen abschließt und den Kopfgeld Modus freischaltet. Ansonsten wäre es für den Preis wirklich zu kurz. Die Dynamik könnte stellenweise noch etwas verbessert werden ansonsten kam ich mit den Waffen gut zurecht. So schlecht wie jetzt manche hier schreiben finde ich es nun nicht. Man darf halt keinen Grafikkracher erwarten. Nun für 3 Sterne reicht es aber wirklich noch nicht. Ich bin zwischen 3 und 4 Sternen am schwanken. Längere Story und bessere Grafik könnte das Spiel noch vertragen. Mir hat es Spaß gemacht und ich werde wohl noch die eine oder andere Runde als Kopfgeldjäger unterwegs sein ...

Veraltete Grafik mit schrecklichem Gameplay. Ich habe selbst eine Mission als Indianer & Cowboy gespielt und mich dann entschlossen das Spiel zurück zu geben. Game/Gunplay: Das Werfen von Tomahawks fühlt sich ganz gut an. Nach ein paar Würfen hat man den Dreh raus. Jedoch ist das greifen von Gegenständigen absolut nicht intuitiv. Oft schafft man es nicht, Waffen zu ziehen/werfen, weil die Hände nicht greifen. NPC: KATASTROPHE 2 Arten von Gegner: Fernkämpfer (Wechseln Deckung, schießen teilweise ohne Animation) und Nahkämpfer (Rennen sehr sinnlos auf einen zu. Die Gegner fühlen sie eher an wie beim Tonscheiben schießen! Nicht lebendig........ Revolver: Im speziellen stört mich sehr, dass die Trommel beim Revolver nicht mit einer Handbewegung zur Seite schließt. Ich dachte wir wären hier in einem Western? Auch hier gibt es bereits Spiele, die das besser machen! Optik: Besonders im 2. Level ist mir aufgefallen, dass Gräser und Umgebungsmodells flackern. Spielen konnte ich auf Ultra ohne FPS einbrüche. Texturen sind sehr Matschig und unnschön anzusehen. Alles in allem würde ich das Spiel maximal als Gratis Titel in Erwägung ziehen!

Hi. I was involved as a beat tester for this title but continue to play now after the official release. You may be attracted to this title the same reasons I was, Its VR and its Western themed. This is a rare combination in the gaming landscape at present. It is linear and somewhat arcadey but I had no issue with this as the story and presentation kept me engaged and I enjoyed the game-play. In fact, one element immediately caught my attention is the devs really nailed throwing in vr. I've had many bad experiences with throwing mechanics in vr but this immediately felt right. It takes many of the familiar Western tropes we are familiar with and allows the player to experience an exciting adventure in the old west. It also allows you to play from two vantage points with two different perspectives on the events in the game. This helps keep it interesting as the main object of the game is to progress through areas, kill the enemies and stay alive. Each level provides a different primary weapon, tomahawks, six-shooter, spear, bow, Gatling gun and a secondary knife for melee or throwing. Hot Tip, the knife is perfect for meleeing those enemies charging you with hand weapons! This keeps things interesting and engages different VR mechanics to master for each section. My favorite (and in my mind the most difficult of the sections) requires stealth and the use of a silent blow-dart weapon. A nice break from the run and gun. Ive played through the main story 3 times now at the various difficulty levels. For extended play you get the bounty hunt levels where you work to stay alive as long as you can and collect "bounty" in order to make or claim the leader boards in the various locations. There have been many games I've never finished because I lost interest or played once and done but Black Trail had me coming back for more.

No. I mean I refunded it after the first 3 minutes, the NPC are blocky and old school af, it's supposed to be an action / adventure game but they act like it's a rythm game, either running at you like su1cid3 b0mb3rs or popping in and out of things like they are wind up robots, the action couldn’t be more repetitive just infinite axes, the winding mechanism to get into the mine was just annoying to use, after about 5 attempts of trying to wind it and it slipping around, I just thought to myself what am I even doing with this. This is one of the first ever negative reviews I’ve ever written as well…

Please fix the safe mechanics on Level 3, make the controllers vibrate or something to simulate a real safe because that was the most annoying thing ive ever dealt with in VR to date. Instructions say to turn 2 full times to restart it but it legit takes like 6 rotations at least and then if you mess up its the same deal all over again. Love the idea but so far i dunno.

hi, erinnert mich sehr an Medal of Honor. Sieht nur schlechter aus und keine Nazis. Es gibt einen Modus für "neutrale Gegner" falls man keine Indianer erschiessen möchte. Sind dann halt weisse Gesetzlose.. Es gibt ähnlich Medal eine Missions Basis mit Karte. Dort startet jede Runde. Es sind ahnlich wenige Interaktionen mit der Welt um einen herum möglich. Es könnte ja ganz witzig sein, wenn man stur bissl ballern will ohne gross Hirn an. Wäre da nicht dieses, wahrscheinlich mit Absicht schlechte Aussehen der Gegner. Die Welt selbst sieht schick aus, recht realistisch. Die Gegner allerdings wie schlechte Comic Zeichnungen. Mich stört das sehr. Überhaupt darf man scheinbar in Games nur auf Robos/sehr oofft Zombies und vorallem NAZIS, schiessen dieser Tage. (Letztere sind ja ÜBERALL, so hält man den Teufel auch am leben, nur so ein Gedanke. Brot und Spiele. China ging in die Hose, die Russen sind zu nah dran an der Realität und alles andere wäre ja rassistisch. Regieren erfordert Ruhe ..., Ironie off. Rassismus gibt es leider überall, in Deutschland nicht mehr als anderswo. Neuerdings erlebe ich soviel Ablehnung in der online Welt, erschreckend...... ) Hier wird das Problem anders gelöst -... lächerlich unrealistische Grafik der Gegner. Naja es ist halt ein Shooter in der Machart von Medal of Honor, die Bewertung macht Sinn. Einfache Unterhaltung. Grüsse Miss Take Hi, Reminds me a lot of Medal of Honor. Only looks worse and no Nazis. There is a "neutral enemy" mode if you don't want to shoot Indians. Then they're just white outlaws... Similar to Medal, there is a mission base with a map. Every round starts there. There are similarly few interactions possible with the world around you. It could be quite funny if you stubbornly want to shoot a little without having much of a brain. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent looks bad on purpose, probably on purpose. The world itself looks nice, quite realistic. The enemies, however, look like bad comic drawings. That bothers me a lot. In general, it seems that in games you are only allowed to shoot at robos/very often zombies and especially NAZIS these days. This Time they have another Solution... ridiculously unrealistic graphics of the opponents. (And it seems they are still EVERYWHERE, that's how you keep the devil alive, just a thought. Bread and circuses. China went to ♥♥♥♥, the Russians are too close to reality and anything else would be racist. Governing requires calm..., irony off. Unfortunately, racism exists everywhere, in Germany not more often than anywhere else. Lately I've been experiencing so much rejection in the online world, it's frightening......) Well, it's just a shooter in the style of Medal of Honor, the rating makes sense. Simple entertainment. Greetings Miss Take

I was looking forward to this game since I grew up in the time period when all we played was cowboys and Indians as kids. However this game is not very well made at all. Combat and animations are very basic and arcade like. The movement and controls are glitchy and clunky. Only played less than 30 minutes and there were about 20 times I would try to throw an axe and it would be stuck in my hand. Doesn’t run well either, I have high end hardware and it suffered from a lot of stutters which actually made me somewhat nauseous and I never get sick in vr. If they could make the game run well without the glitches and clean up the combat I think it would be a fun little game. Still can’t see it being worth the asking price even if it ran well.

Good game. I'd say that if it had good controls. In fact, it's just trash. WMR joysticks just don't read - button presses on items in the start menu don't work. For this case there is Quest 3, which works in the most bad cases. But not this time. Yes. finally managed to launch the game. But with such sensitivity to joysticks, or rather, with its absence in the game, it is simply impossible to move. Reaction to turns and strafes lags, or is absent at all. Moving in the game reminds a child who is learning to walk - sometimes he walks, but usually not where needs to go, and more often just refuses to go. I won't mention such a small thing as not being able to grip a weapon, which instead only needs to be held on a button pressed. Return, of course.
