it's fine, but way too grindy and unforgiving for me. unless you enjoy wandering the same areas over and over and over...

A well-balanced fresh take on a Roguelite / VS style game. The music and VO are great. The variety of abilities, achievements, and end-goal makes it fun to replay. Plays quite well on the steam deck too!

Raises the bar for story-driven VR adventures

An absolutely gorgeous game. A level of detail every VR game should strive for. Shorter than i was hoping (3-4 hours) but long enough as a VR game. Just not sure the dollars per hour of entertainment was appropriate at full price ($30), given 0 replayability, but I'm not disappointed with my purchase.

An obviously a well made game, I won't repeat what others have said in that respect. It could use two improvements:
- sabers are awkwardly positioned for index controllers requiring some wrist strain to make certain moves happen
- more campaigns. Once you finish the campaign, which is great, you're just left to pick random songs with whatever modes you want, no direction, no goals other than a global leaderboard. Technically each song keeps track of your best score, but you have to select each one to see if you've played it before on each difficulty. I'd pay for more song packs if they came with campaigns to play through.

The game is beautiful, but one of the worst VR control schemes I've ever seen

Was really looking forward to something to keep me moving during COVID, but I can't even get the tutorial to work. The game just doesn't work. Not crashing, but no amount of restarting will get it to move. I start the tutorial, get to the point where it wants me to box, and nothing happens, no gloves. None of the classes will start, they just sit at 0. I can't close menus. Feels like an alpha version :/ Sounds like other people have problems too...

I have a valve index, no problems like this with any other game.

unplayable on a maxed out 2014 MBP. ~5FPS with graphics set to LOW :/

Beautiful game but you have to be seriously dedicated to learn how to play. Level 1 is so fast you can't even practice on it. Some of us need a little more practice, after which i'm sure the game would be fun. The upsidedown bug doesn't help (left/right get flipped and you ride the ceiling)

Used to be fun. They added danger zone (which objectively sucks) and now matchmaking for competitive is total trash.

You can't require prime status in your matchmaking (because they know your wait times will be insane) so I only get matched with people 5-8 ranks lower than me (or unranked) ever since the DZ release. Last game was a GN4, a GN3, and 3 unranked vs a MG2, MG, and 3 GN4's. Not exactly a fun game.
