Ruckus Ridge VR Party

If you have friends, you need this game. Do you remember how asking your friends if they wanted to play videogames together once meant coming over to your house and having legitimate, face to face human interaction? How there used to be a thing called local multiplayer, so very long ago? This game revives that forgotten relic in the most beautiful, modern way possible. I shouldn't even need to write a review. Do you like video games? Have you and your friends ever had fun? If so, buy Ruckus Ridge. Ruckus Ridge is similar to the old Mario Party games, in that you have varying mini games with different objectives. Collect the most coins, blow up your fellow couch player, get to the VR player in the middle, etc. The VR twist makes this very fresh and exciting however. You'll hunt and be hunted. You'll talk smack on your deafened friend, and shout profanities at anyone around you while cut off from the outside world. And ultimately, you'll have fun. So get this game. Unless you don't have any friends, in which case you should handle that first.

Picked this game up. It isn't perfect but it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good and the combination of hilarity, great presentation (the announcer is hilarious), and asymmetric play with the couch users is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great. The best part about it though? The HMD is a hot seat. Every player gets one chance in the HMD, and it makes sure everyone gets a brief, hilarious, and engaging time. If you have friends, and you're looking for a good time, grab this game up quick. So far the biggest surprise that has come out of my Vive for me. Here's a clip of the hilarity we all experienced: https://youtu.be/CpboeL7EVlU

Close call, but gotta give this a downvote. The idea is really good and i'd love to see more games like this one, but me and my friends lost interest in this one too fast because of lack of game modes and lack of variation between the few modes there are. Also the game would benifit from longer rounds, since the vive headset is a pain in the ass to switch around every 2 minutes when different people have different head sizes.

While this game feels like it lacks polish and doesn't have too many game modes, my friends and I really enjoyed it! Some wishes: - Let one player keep the Vive for a few rounds instead of changing the Vive player every round, since it's actually quite a bit of work taking it off and on and then readjusting for another person. We ended up just letting a player play in the Vive for a few rounds and just ignoring the score totals. - Free play: return to the game selection screen after a game instead of back to the main menu. (Hopefully we didn't just press the wrong button.) - Support more players? Though I can understand it would make balancing the difficulty for VR player vs regular players harder. Maybe if more players could be added, but only 4 play at a time? Oh well, 4 was fine too, we just switched around the players after a full game. - More stage types! Anyways great job on this game, hope you'll keep working on it or make more similar games in the future.

HI, Developer replied back to a fix in a quick and prompt manner. Make sure when you are setting up your tv to turn off 3d stereoscopic in nvidia or amd drivers or else you will see double image in red and blue. get this game and support the developer so more modes will be developed

Hilarious game -- my family had a riot. A completely new type of gameplay. Not a gimmick, but a well executed innovation.

There is no content here. This is the same mini game over and over again with slight differences in the backdrop. It was boring within 10 minutes. And why on earth does it say "Hold A button to start" when I am in the HMD? There is no A button on the Vive controllers. That just seems lazy. And no matter which option I select for amount of turns in the HMD, it changes after every round. Super buggy this game is.

In it's current state, I can't recommend this game. It can be a few minutes of fun, but, while the concept is good, it gets boring pretty quick.

As the game currently stands, I wouldn't recommend it. It's not a bad game, it's just not a very good game either. The initial concept I like, 3v1 with one player in VR and the others using controllers. Has the beginnings of a fun party game, and if this was early access, but this is a finished game. The devs had some good ideas that are for the most part executed well just no real variety. It's a shame because this could be a really fun game. If it's every free or cheap enough then check it out, but go in with low expectations or you will be disappointed.
