Drone Hero

Simple, but fun.

Doesn't work with a drone controller (BetaFPV). No settings/options menu to attempt to manage this. Can't progress through tutorial with keyboard. Unable to exit without ALT-F4. Unfortunately I left this in my library for more than two weeks which apparently means Steam won't refund me, so now I'm stuck with this pos in my library forever.

Picked this up on sale at £0.71, but having played a few levels I would not have minded paying the full price either. By the looks of things it's a fairly short game, but one that'll be fun to play over again and again, trying to improve my score. In VR it looks good and feels good. It gives an excellent sense of being there, and the controls for the drone make lots of sense and feel very natural. What's even better is there are a couple or so options that allow for getting the control just right. [strike]Only slight downside I've noticed with it is that, when playing with a Quest 2, via Link, if I pop the headset up for a moment, causing the game to pause, it loses the connection to the controllers and that's it, there's no more playing. I have to kill the game and start again.[/strike] [strike]Not something I'm inclined to do much, but could be a problem for some.[/strike] Turns out it isn't popping up the headset that does this, it's actually if the game window on the desktop isn't the focused window. I was popping up the headset to start recording in OBS and leaving OBS as the focused window. Alt-tabbing back to the game window fixes this. Overall though: yeah, lots of affordable and simple VR fun!

Super fun addition to a VR arcade library. Pop in, pop out, have a great time. The various level modifiers keeps the content fresh and I definitely find myself wanting to continue progressing through the levels once I get in game. I'm not sure that I would pay full price for this one, but on sale it was 100% worth it for me.

Für das Geld (praktisch geschenkt) ein tolles Spiel, machte Spass. Nach knapp 2 Wochen kommt plötzlich eine Meldung, dass mein VR-Headset (Oculus Rift) nicht gefunden wird. Ton kommt aus den Kopfhörern, Bild nur noch am Monitor. In der Brille sehe ich das Oculus-Cockpit. Mehrmals probiert, ohne Erfolg. Andere Spiele (Panic Station, Beat Saber) ausprobiert: Funktionieren. Nur Drone Hero nicht mehr. Ich war noch nie ein Freund von "Spiele per Steam kaufen", sondern bevorzugte CDs/DVDs als Spiele-Medium. Hier sieht man mal wieder, was man von Online-Käufen hat. :( Rückerstattung klappte zwar problemlos, aber ich hätte lieber ein funktionierendes Spiel gehabt.

Can't say if I like this game or not for I couldn't get it to work. The game starts normally but when I reach the "Squeeze trigger to fly." screen, nothing happens. I squeeze the trigger, the virtual trigger on screen receives the info but the drone doesn't move at all. I'm willing to change my review once I can actually play the game. EDIT: The developer contacted me via email and stayed in touch with my until my issue was resolved. I can now play the game normally thanks to a fix he sent me.
