Tales Of Glory 4 : Ragnarok

terrible optimization it runs laggy on my valve index with a 9070 xt. Also the weapon swinging is messy right now

Hi everyone, I've been playtesting this since the start of July. First off, I want to say how much I appreciate the Dev and the playtesting team. The amount of motivation to take the game further every single day was amazing. Tons of great ideas. I loved putting my heart into feedback and features. This game like TOG3 are my favorite Vr games of all time. That's just from the combat alone. I'm still about to head in and clear the official start of the early access build. Going to keep pushing the dev to go further. The dev was sending us new builds anywhere from 1 to 3 (or more) times a day. Fixing problems as they happened. This combat is great. Its truly amazing swordplay that doesn't lean into heavy fantasy. Its not a simulator, but its an ideal realistic, physics based faction vs faction war game with multiple modes. Pushing for a harder mode aka insane difficulty was a huge priority for fellow hardcore vr gamers. I know other's like me would love a physics based game to have some actual challenge. It definitely satisfies my needs and I'm hoping to still up it in smaller details to make the difficulty feel better without just speeding up the enemy. The weapons are fun. I've never had better in game feedback from blunt weapons than from this game. I pushed hard for blunt weapons to get an edge up from their original build. Shields are the absolute best. Two handed weapons feel like a threat in this game unlike other melee games. Usually 1 handed weapons are OP but this game aims for balance. The graphics look great and the control of your team with commands is fun. And we got arm swinging with arm swing high jump to do reach even greater heights. The biggest thing that the dev got straight was getting sheathing to be perfect. I'm beyond happy with it for this release. I could rant forever Questions welcomed. I might update later today.

Has potential but as of right now, it looks bad and the controls are even worse. Id like to see this games concept with Blade and Sorcery fighting.

its really good can't wait for the campaign tho

This game is EA and it already repeating Tales of Glory 1 Cardinal Sins. 1. BS MECHANICS THAT SHOULD OF BEEN DONE AWAY WITH. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REVERSE THE FKING THUMB/Index FINGER/TRIGGER GRIP! DEVELOPERS - IN REAL LIFE WHEN YOU HOLD THE WEAPON ARE YOU PRESSING AGAINST IT WITH THE INDEX FINGER CURLED HARD AROUND OR ARE YOU JUST FREE HOVERING IT OVER THE WEAPONS HANDLES AND SHAFTS? WTF? REALLY? BLADE AND SORCERY + BATTLE TALENT HAD LONG SOLVED THAT ISSUE BY ADDING THE EFFING REVERSE OF TRIGGER GRIP SLIDE/HOLD IN SETTING AND YET YOU KEEP REPEATING THAT VERY SAME MISTAKE WHEN IT SHOULD NOT EXIST? WHO WAS YOUR GAME TESTERS AND WHY DID NOT SUGGEST SUCH EASILY ADDED FEATURE ON THE FIRST PLACE? 2. NEED MORE UNIT AVAILABILITY IN THIS EA! WE ARE NOT LIVING IN LATE 2010s ANYMORE! THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE HARD CAP OF 100 UNITS PER SIDE! IN FACT WITH MOD INJECTION M AND B 2 WARBANNERS EASILY HOLDS WITH VERY LITTLE TO NONE STUTTERING ON THE WIFI WITH OVER 1000 UNITS AT THE SAME TIME! 3. WHY ARE MANY CONTROLS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED? IF YOU ARE GOING TO ADD SPRINT WITH THE HAND SWING, WHY DOES IT STILL REQUIRE TO HOLD DOWN THE SPRINT BUTTON? 4. WHY DOES THE EFFING GAME STILL ASSUMES AUTOMATIC DEFEAT IF YOU FALL ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND NOT LET THE ARMIES DUKE IT OUT UNTIL ONE SIDE RETREATS? JUST BECAUSE COMMANDER IS DEAD THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE EFFING BATTLE IS OVER! GAMES LIKE MOUNT AND BLADE SERIES HAVE LONG SOLVED THAT ISSUE, UNLESS YOU GOT OUTRIGHT KILLED IN THE BATTLE INSTEAD OF GRIEVEOUSLY WOUNDED! Such simple things, this is EA release that seems to be going well, but why the basics are all screwed up?

Day 1 release review, Early Access. If you enjoy VR Melee Combat. BUY THIS. I am brand new to this franchise, and as a MASSIVE fan of the genre I immediately enjoyed it. The physics are wayyy better than I expected. I did not expect having so many enemies on screen run so smoothly, and the mass combat is wild. If this is Day 1 early access BUCKLE UP gang because it's only up from here. SO MUCH content is already available. I started with the arena getting my bearings in some 1v1 combat. Very fun. then took it to the larger modes, Conquest, melees etc. Storming a castle while my men were breaking down the door, wild. If chivalry was VR this is very close to that vibe. I have hundreds of hours, mods in games like Blade and Sorcery and Battle talent and I am pretty picky when it comes to VR and melee feel/physics. This scratches a brand new itch and the execution is very well done. Lots of Blood and gore of course! The graphics are very good and I look forward to more updates as the dev continues his work. Don't miss out on this one!

Really really great game, I never played tales of glory 1, but I’ve been playing VR for over 6 years now and this is some of the best free flow combat I’ve ever played with. The mod support coming too will be great. I do recommend further optimization though

Great game Nice upgrade from the original title

great game. great physics. physically demanding. enemies dont go down easily and their numbers can get overwhelming so there is a constant pressure to keep fighting. the enemies really do well to guard themselves so you need to take them off balance before you can land a good confident blow. the enemy gets put into a state where they are more susceptible to killing blows after being staggered or knocked down. the "weight" of the enemy can almost be felt. the physics are really very well done with the enemies and weapons alike. the "weight" of everything. it is very addictive and the combat rhythm can get very intense. parrying a strike cleanly can give you opportunity, but this also applies to you if you are parried so it is good to be deliberate with your strikes and force openings rather than striking nonstop. you can shout at your allies to make them fight harder and even has voice recognition for commanding troops. allies notice when you are dominating and make comments. morale can drop for individual enemies to a point where they drop their weapons and flee. fun, challenging, immersive
