FIRMA Reviews

Really good cockpit shooter. Enjoyed this, though it did get a bit repetitive towards the end.

Fantastic game and so immersive. Easy to pickup and play and worth the asking price. Hoping the devs add more missions in future to keep us coming back for more. Only silly problem I had was not realizing you use your HMD to aim at options on the menu page. I thought my XBox controller was glitching out on me duh, lol. Love the planet surface setting and love seeing your thrusters firing underneath you. Really adds to the whole experience. Looking forward to seeing what else these great devs have planned. Recommended! AA+ (UPDATE) It seems now that playing Firma via virtual desktop and the Quest 3 isn't a good experience. After completing the first days missions I realised that the game is not saving your progress. I have no idea why this is an issue. Other PCVR games save ok on the Quest 3. But it is and Ive tried it several times with the same issue. The devs have abandoned the game, so bear this in mind if you fancy buying this game. You won't get any help if you need it. I left a message about this issue last year (2023) and heard nothing.

This looked interesting and a good idea so I went for it, and am very glad I did. Its a great game, with good voice acting (thought the mix can be a little off with dialogue a little hard to hear sometimes, but the whole experience is polished. I do seem to run out of fuel too much though, but that may be my inexperience. Certainly a great game for the Vive and all VR I would think, and I hope maybe multiplayer support will come one day. That could be quite cool with racing and time challenges etc. Doesnt need it though, works great as a stand alone with story. I think it is priced just right too.

Had a good time with this game. It's the first of its kind that I've played on the Vive. Works great with an XBox One controller. I will say that after around a half hour of play I started to get a little bit motion sickness. I have a pretty high tolerance as well. I'd still recommend the game.

I really enjoy this game and come back to it from time to time for a quick Sci-Fi fix of moon flying, cargo hauling, racing, and fighting. Once you get your VR stomach you can really do some fast cruising around and record setting moves. Nimbly diving through canyons and around corners is a blast. However, the difficulty to get top marks can be a bit high at times. Some of my friends really enjoy this game too. I want more of this! I'd love to see the developer make Firma 2 with an expanded world and a little less tight fuel restrictions. But I love piloting and have a lot of fun with it. Get it, it's not expensive, and get used to it, there's a lot of fun to be had here and the immersive space environment, while simple, is still very evocative and one that I keep wanting to go back to.

Currently broken, has been for a while now. Lander is stuck to the pad. I can fire the thrusters and it kinda slides around slowly but can't take off.

I've been a fan of Firma since it came out, and still am. Such simple controls, yet you feel like you have real freedom of flight. Just flying around controlling the vehicle feels cool. The low gravity, moon environment, really fits what they've done. There's speed runs, pickup mission's, shooting challenges. It should be a staple of all VR gamer's. Fun! Rock On!

Still one of the best VR games developed. I miss this era of VR, where developers were exploring new ground in how to build games for spatial. Wish there would be a port for Quest. The controls are fantastic, and there's an incredible sense of control and versatility as you navigate around the surface of the Moon. Great mission progression, story is complex but not in your face (you can just tune out the radio comms and still play the game as sort of an action puzzler). Love every part of this game. (I've owned this game on Oculus Store since it came out in 2016)

One of my favorite games on the Vive. It looks great and runs great on my GTX 970. Controls are easy to pick up and play but tricky to master. Head mounted weapon targeting is really satisfying. Even something as simple as picking up a package and delivering it to another outpost is a lot of fun. Game play is varried, with missions ranging from point A to B deliveries, check point racing, salvage operations and areial combat, all with voiced mission dialouge. The game atmospher is quite emersive, you can really tell the Dev's put a lot of love in to this game. The game has fully voiced mission dialoge and nods to sifi classics that creates a unique, yet familiar world. Missions are varied but creates an intresting story line out of seeminly unrelated tasks. It really feels like being a free lancer in a hostile planet. Floating over moon outposts feels like being in the universe of the 2001 Space Odessy or Moon films. It also reminds me of the enviroment from the lunar combat game Battle Zone from the N 64 era. Ive played for about 4 hours so far and encountered 36 missions. With the time trial freature, theres a lot of replayability too. I've played for an extended period of time without any motion sickness that is so common with games like this. There are a few minor issues with the game as of now. Mainly the fantasic dialoge can be hard to hear at times over in game sound effects, Dev team has said they are looking to fix this issue. The lack of motion controller support may bother some people, but the game plays well with an X Box controller and head tracking weapon controls are intuitive, just remember to lead your targets. Mission difficulty can be a little uneven, but with a practice, none are unbeatable. Dev's have indicated they hope to add multipayer in the furture. If you are interested in sceince fiction and are looking for a novel take on space flight and combat sims, I cannot recomend this game enough. 9.5/10

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3 using link cable with Xbox One controller[/h1] You can view my gameplay & last impressions here: https://youtu.be/OY3yDc6VjLs Devs have announced that the game will be de-listed soon. So this is your last chance to buy this game. The devs have lowered the price from $12.99 to $1.99 USD to mark the occasion. Get it while it's still on sale or forever hold your peace! I think it's an easy recommendation from me at only $2 USD. The game is still fun, even in 2024, almost 2025 now. BEWARE though: motion controllers do NOT work. You will need to use a gamepad. Also, the menu navigation and aiming are done via gaze-based navigation. Do you remember those back in 2016/2017 PCVR? I remember. Still, the game is fun space flight arcade action in a low-gravity Mars / Moon setting. It's mostly-voiced as well. My biggest negative so far was the sound-mix. The music was way too loud during several sections, drowning out the voice-overs. The flying is fun though and there's enough variety in missions to keep it from getting too repetitive, at least early on. [b]Rate 7/10. I bought this game.
