Ruckus Ridge VR Party

While looking for local VR games I ran across this on numerous forums (steam & reddit the most). Alot of people seem to really enjoy it and that's fine, but for the most part this feels like unfinished shovelware. There is no reason for this to be a 10 dollar product. as you can see from the play time it didn't even hold our attention for an hour. Can't really suggest any one but this as it stands now.

This game is kinda funny when you first play it. But it is absolutly unbalanced for the vr player and it sucks that you switch the vr player every round. LT:DR: NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Game doesn't work at all with an Oculus Touch. Either you get no display on the HMD or the monitor depending on how you launch it. With any combination, the VR player is unable to play. Support for the game appears to be non-existant

One of the must buy vr games to get right now, not many vr games have local coop but this is one for when you show off your vive to your friends! Easy to play and MASTER!!! Pros: Great party game easy for noobs to join in simple yet funny gameplay Cons: Rest of the modes levels are yet to come :( pew pew......

The game's not as much fun as I thought it would be. It kinda feels more like a "Guy in VR headset beats up his friends" type of game more than a fair and balanced set of mingiames. I've had a lot of fun with it so far anyway, though.

One of the best couch+vive games. If you are looking for something to play with 1-3 friends buy this game.

This game is a sleeper hit and one of my favorite VR games so far. I've literally had the cops called to my apartment because my friends and I were yelling so much over it (Hint: proceed with caution if you decide to turn Ruckus Ridge into a drinking game). Luckily the cops saw my rig in the living room and were more interested in the game than giving us a citation. The game is hard to explain because it's a unique concept but if you have friends, just buy it; you'll understand when you play it. Basically non-VR players play in real time against the VR player in a bunch of minigames like mario party. There's a lot of sneaking around, betrayals, broken alliances, backstabbing, politics, shooting, etc. Obviously an indie game but super fun regardless. Also... Is it just me, or can we get a confirmation that the "Stackhouse" character dabs when he's on the winners podium???? TL;DR - if you have friends buy this game. If you don't have friends, maybe focus on that and trim your dirty neckbeard.

When I originaly bought Ruckus Ridge I didn't think I was going to enjoy it that much, I simply wanted a game that would work with a group of friends that were coming over. Ruckus Ridge proved me wrong and ended up being a much better experience that I had anticipated. My friends and I played for 2 hours straight, the whole time laughing our asses off. Each level has it's own twist to it with the objective, but basically having the controller-players pit against each other to complete an objective all while trying to avoid being killed by the one on the Vive. After each level, the Vive get's passed to a randomly selected controller player and the two switch. If you don't have controllers, but have a smart phone then you're in luck! They have a smart phone app that allows you to use your phone as a controller! It's a simple "party game" concept that is executed very well and contains hours of fun, friendly, competition amongst your friends. TL;DR If you have friends and a Vive, then you need this game.

Greatest game meachanic for VR yet. Hope to see more VR games like this. It is however as all VR games quite expensive compared to what you get.

Now, I've always shown off my Vive at parties, but it's usually someone trying it, while others sorta wait around and just lose interest. No one wants to look at a monitor to see what someone is seeing. So, I just had a party, and wanted to finally give Ruckus Ridge a go. This totally changes things! Basically, the Vive player in in the middle of the level, and the 3 other players play on the monitor of the same computer controlling their characters from a top down view with controllers (I use wireless xbox 360 controllers). The game is certainly simple enough for anyone to grab a controller and jump right in. The Vive gameplay is also simple but rewarding. People really were digging the idea of playing against a player that's IN the game... and when people get a chance to use the headset, they also get a good understanding of what the Viver is seeing when they switch back to the controllers. Everyone gets a turn with the headset throughout the tournament, so no one is left out, and everyone playing participates at all times. It works better than I could have imagined. The game has 6 game modes for 4 players, and all feel a bit different. I feel like they could certainly add more to the game, but for what's available for $20, I think you get a good amount of fantastic local multiplayer amusement. Also keep in mind that as of the time I write this review, this is the ONLY game for the Vive that supports 4 local palyers. If you have friends over or want to play with family without everyone sitting around waiting for their turn, this game should absolutely be on your list.
