[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1]
[i] The only issue I had was that the right and left Touch controllers were swapped as far as HTC Vive controller menu instructions [/i]
Currently as of 1.5.0, there are two maps. Your objective is to destroy enemy AI tanks. That was easy enough on the first map as it was relatively small and there were also these big red arrows just in case you didn't know where the enemy tanks were. I had problems on the second map. The map is larger. And for whatever reason, the big red arrows that I could have sworn were there at the start of the game, disappeared. I found and destroyed 3 tanks, but I looked all around the map and couldn't find any other thanks. Are there even more than 3 tanks?
It almost doesn't matter because the enemy AI tanks are terrible. I don't know how you would lose against them. The only real challenge is finding them. The other challenge is traversing the terrain. This game has a severe case of the pop-ups, especially on the second map. The terrain doesn't even look that good, PS2 level graphics, but even then there's pop-up boulders blocking your path within a few feet of you, even if you're travelling slow.
I had this error when I traversed water. My whole HMD went under water and stayed there. I could look in the periscope and things would be dry as I had passed the water area. But once I looked away from the periscope, I was literally drowning in waver ... over dry land. I also had this branch hit me in the face ... inside the tank.
You can't destroy trees, you can't run them over. Small rocks are obstacles you can't overcome. Even some hills are unpassable. Literally the only thing you can destroy is other tanks ... usually with 1 shot.
This game says seated or room-scale, but I have no idea why you'd play this game room-scale. Your motion controls act solely as a gamepad. You move your joystick up and down to accelerate and left and right to steer. You move your turret gun with your other motion control all around. That's it.
You have a nice VR environment of being inside a tank, but you can't grab anything. It's just there for decoration. Really it's the periscope you're using for everything. So put your head in there and navigate and play search and destroy. That's really the whole game. And there's a local leaderboard.
This game was .99 cents, then they jacked up the price to $4.99 USD and sale price of $2.99 USD. The game is only worth .99 cents given the current content. Only buy if you want to support EA and hope the devs keep updating the game, because it needs a lot more content and a lot more polish to be worth the normal price.
Rate 5/10. Want to take a chance on these devs?
