Very cool RTS game for VR. The game is simple. You can manage a simple space war in VR. Select planets, choose % of ships and move them to other planets to conquer a huge solar system. CONS: After playing few games, this can be repetitive. Maybe adding more complexity like multiple type of ships, planets with moons, types of planets (earth like, gaz, etc.) could improve this game and add other challenges.

This game actually makes me feel like I'm commanding a battle... like in Ender's Game, where you're disconnected from the action but commanding from within a virtualized environment. This is hands down the most playable VR game I've found. The gameplay is great, the controls make sense, the strategy is engaging. NOW I WANT online multiplayer. ALSO, I really want to be able to be able to rotate the view when I pinch the controlers to resize. Instead of just resizing, let me rotate the entire battlefield around/upside down so that it feels more 3D.

A tech demo for the real time strategy concept that will eventually devour us all into its wargame-like maw. It's a perfect Ender's Game-esque experience for the steep price of whatever your horrid internet provider charges for a meagre amount of data. I'm not sure why I can't stop playing this or stop cursing at the AI when it's just a simple VR tactics game, but now my arms ache and the headset is slowly melding into my pores. Send help. Preferably in the form of a larger spaceship with more lazers.

I don't usually leave Steam reviews, but this game was so good I just had to. It was one of the first games I installed when I got my Vive a month ago but it sat I played because I assumed because of its simplicity I would just dismiss it in 5 minutes...how wrong I was. Massively entertaining, a brilliant idea and perfectly executed. I can't wait to play more... oh, and IT'S FREE!

This is a simplistic strategy game similar to Eufloria, and highly reminiscent of command school in Ender's Game. The game is an excellent demonstration of the timelessness of simple strategy games like chess and, to a lesser extent, checkers: very easy to pick up, but endlessly different possibilities that keep you coming back for more. Highly recommended for at least a quick try as this is an independently developed game offered for free. While adding extra features might betray the minimalist approach, it could be worth a shot to add an extra twist to the experience. If multiplayer is released, this will undoubtedly be a must-have for quick 10 minute strategy battles on the Vive.
