Grit and Valor - 1949

Fun game, though I will say that it kinds gasses out rather that climaxes. Gear and character abilities take different resources, so you will max out one before the others. And after six hours, you've basically seen everything this game has to offer. Seeing the credits roll that soon in was a bit of a shock. Also limiting to only three mechs in the field throughout the entire campaign leaves end game wanting. You start with three; you end with three.

This game looks awesome VR! I can confirm the DEMO does NOT work for VR....at least as of this writing (2025-11-24). I tried running the DEMO in VR, and all I got was a 2D Movie screen. The DEMO still works in VR, but you only get a Movie screen. However, I purchased the game, and it comes in full Stereoscopic 3D visuals, and it looks great. I love these kinds of VR games, and there are precious few indeed. It's a 3D table-top view RTS where you command the Mech Troops, and then they carry out the actual fighting. So you don't need to run around and shoot in some bullet-hell environment, of which there are very many games in VR already. This one is unique, so if you love Tower Defense, RTS & VR, this is the game for you. It starts out nice and easy, so it's good for us old guys to relax and enjoy. Using the Standard HTC Vive, and the controls work are perfect. The only thing I would like to see improved is the ability to zoom in and make the 3D Map larger. They could allow you to use the Grips and move your hands away and back to zoom in an out of the Map. That would be great. Nice job, Dev's, and thank you!

Map gen (esp when coming off a save) is extremely bugged. You will get objectives to stand on tiles that your units cannot traverse or enemies that are immune to all damage, scuffing entire runs.

Toggle away from recommeneded This is a game about ww2. Germans are using literal zelda symbols. Thats ridiculous. Both Allies and germans need reasonably historical symbols - you can censor if you need to but dont go full zelda.\ Well made, good graphics, good gameplay, supports openxr. good characters and sound.

BOUGHT FOR VR but still waiting on the PCVR update. I hope its taking time to look and play its best. SUPPORT VR!!! Beyond that... after 3 hours and 1 hour demo a good indie game. If you love mech and strategy and rogue like then this is the game for you. A nice change from mechabellum. Graphics are good overall. Though some more smoke or particle and fancy combat effects would help. And need to zoom in further. Slightly animated characters would be awesome too as the static pics though pretty are static. Sound and music is fine. Nothing memorable but its fine. Though I would like to see the campaign fully voiced as its kind of boring and you end up skipping it. Maybe Ai could be used to keep costs down though i would prefer a human where possible. Gameplay is great. Though I would like to see more variety and continued updates. I would prefer if the mechs were all slightly different sizes. And I would like to be able to zoom in a little more please. Lastibilty. Not sure about this but VR and adding multiplayer would really help. Not sure if you can reskin the units but you def need to be able to do that and ideally design your own skins. That's how you keep a game going. Would love to see more maps and variety overall so it feels less familiar in multiple runs. I think there are 4 zones so a new country to invade would be awesome. I think the game has legs especially with VR and IT NEEDS Multiplayer. Buy it today or wait till they deliver VR :)

Controls are terrible, for some reason both mouse buttons do all actions, which leads to constantly giving incorrect commands. Game is also clunky, constant time slow down - speed up cycle feels very awkward.

The game is rare because it’s a mecha game that uses real-time with pause on a grid-based system. It is a rogue-like in which you go through multiple geographic areas of Europe, set in a comical, cheesy World War II setting with a cartoonish style (the story is forgettable and unappealing, unfortunately). Still, the mech designs are good in a junkyard sort of way. The game has a VR component that I never looked into. It has good controller support, and I recommend playing on one because the keybinds are finicky; thus, it probably would do well on a Steam Deck. I did play with unlimited ability charges, but still found the game challenging at times, since the ability charges are on a cool-down, which one can reduce via the strategy layer between runs. Overall, it is a bit forgettable as a game, and there are better rogue-likes out there; however, being a mech game with real-time with pause, it’s unique on that level, but other than that, it’s passable. A YouTube video on the game that I found pretty good:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdDctM-5hF0 [hr][/hr] Front Mission Alternative is an old game with a real-time-with-pause system on PS1, from what I remember. I didn’t finish it myself, but it has a translation patch now: https://youtu.be/4SSv9G3N5ao Link to patched ISO: https://archive.org/details/front-mission-alternative And the mech designs remind me of Ring of Red on the PS2, especially the Steel Hawk. It is turn-based and similar to Valkyria Chronicles, when one unit attacks another. But if you like the mech design of Grit and Valor, set in a mock version of the Second World War (maybe even post-Vietnam War), it is, again, far more serious. You could give it a try.

This is pretty awesome, highly recommend. It has an elegant simplicity with a lot of depth in progression. The only thing I would change is make it a HEX MAP please!
