Quar: Battle for Gate 18

Quar is a great example of the beginning of strategy games for VR. The art and graphics and great even if the title sounds weird. Getting to move around the battlefield and scale yourself down to the size of the soldiers really makes the case for this being a VR game. The number of units and complexity of the actual battles doesn't live up to modern strategy games, but the ability to be in the world makes up for that. I can see this as a stepping stone to even more compelling VR strategy games and I'm happy to support the developers taking a chance in this early wild west of VR.

Incredibly fun and engaging VR experience and game. I think what sells it is that it feels like a tabletop war game but more interactive. Plus you can zoom into the battlefield and get down to the soldiers perspective. Really well laid out campaign that builds up nicely not trying to overwhelm you so you can get used to the controls and unit types. This is one of the types of games I hoped we'd be seeing in VR, just didn't expect this well polished of a game at this point and honestly at a great price. I went into this game a bit leary with reading it had potential for frame rate drop. I did experience this same drop however I did some analyzing and noticed my CPU wasn't maxed but was pretty high up there. I closed everything except Steam and this app and it ran perfect. I even tested jumping up and down and basically sitting on the floor trying to hide from the lighthouses to see if I could get anything weird to happen again. Nope ran great. I'm running a 980Ti stock with a 4th gen i5 so I imagine a newer i5 or even i7 would be more than fine, this game isn't very graphics intense as my 980Ti was barely putting any effort out, it's all CPU here so you know. Update: A recent all around Windows 10 and NVIDIA updates this thing runs amazing now even when I forget to shut down other apps.

It's a nice strategy game, but the VR adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay. Initially it's kind of cool to see a strategy game in VR, but the novelty wears off quick and you're just left with a 2D strategy game that is uncomfortable and awkward to play.

I need more quar games

I feel that Quar: Battle for Gate 18 is underrated. This is one of the first games to implement RTS mechanics, and it does that well. I really like that you can scale yourself down so that it feels like you're there.

+Fun +Turn based Strategy +Decent length +Price for content -Turn based meh, wish it were Real time. 3/5 It's quite a fun little game although the Turnbased-ness of it feels wrong. It feels like it should be a real time strategy. Overall it's a good game though.

A proper turn-based strategy VR game that isn't experimental or early access. Interesting world but be warned the game is very slow. Video review below (excuse the poor audio). https://youtu.be/rOzG6bf5HYU

As a fan of Zombiesmith and the Quar I HAD to get this when I finally got my Rift S. I was not disappointed. It was like playing with animated 54mm Quar on a game table with nice terrain...although I could not collide with said table. Made it a lot handier to move troops that way :) Captures the feel of the figs and game. I spent waaay too much time in camp watching the Quar go about their routines, drinking tea, patrolling, and doing PT. Development has stopped but it is still a solid game...especially if you are fond of subject matter.

As someone who loves turn-based strategy games, I am so happy to have found this game! This is the best TBS game for VR right now. I believe it sets the bar for many features that a TBS VR game should have: the ability to raise the floor so you're not straining your neck looking down all the time, the ability to switch between being a giant and shrinking down to see everything to scale, and a good teleportation function. The game's graphics are very good and the gameplay is fun. I also really like the music. If you enjoy turn based strategy games I highly recommend buying this game.

Trailers are misleading for this game, it is a very slow turn based combat game and not a very good one. Not enough unit types to keep me interested, it would be much better real time imo.
