Starfighter Arduxim Reviews

A fun little VR homage to arcade space shooters like Freespace 2 and X-Wing +1 for making the joystick controls easy to setup

Starfighter Arduxim has everything you want from a starfighter game, minus cutting edge graphics and an open world, but for this price, you can't pass it up. Multiple game modes for multiplayer, single player campaign, and HOTAS support. I actually find I like the control more than Elite dangerous! The screenshots don't do this game very much justice.

Simple but fun! This game has a nice, but short storyline. Your ship can be equipped with different primary and secondary weapons, which will be unlocked for different missions in the campaign. Mission and story descriptions are written and some parts have voice acting too. Graphics are very simple but still sufficient, the soundtrack is great and fits perfectly. Flight mechanics and dogfights are pleasant and challenging with increasing progress. There are a good amount of options for e.g. scale, graphics, and ofc controls - HOSAS is no problem! Recommended!

Great fun. Really liked this. If I had one criticism it would be that I'd have preferred to fight amongst an allied squadron - it would have felt more realistic.

Concerned at first with controller support, but managed to connect the Vive and configure HOTAS in the menu. Can't wait to do a review video. Good work with updating the game. I didn't know the feature I've been using and abusing had just been added in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1gGlMEEX2U&ab_channel=WatchTowerr

A simple fun space game with both single player and multi-player action and no motion sickness, which is a bonus as normal people can actually play it. So if you like arcade action shooters this is worth a try. Positives - Nice simple graphics design = high frame rate. - Feels like I always dreamed FreeSpace and Decent would play in VR back in the 90s. - Single player and Multi player. - Slower Pace than Decent: Underground seems to help prevent motion sickness. - Price (less than a pint of beer). Negatives - Not everyone will like the graphics style - Some people who don’t get motion sickness may prefer faster Ship handling. - Does not have the depth of play of the Elite games.

It may have been pretty good a few years ago, but now it's just pretty. NOTHING WORKS!!!!! Doesn't work in VR! Recognizes my controllers in setup, but not in game. Doesn't work in desktop/monitor. No cursor, no anything. TOTAL BUST! Clearly I haven't learned my lesson about cheap games with reduced prices. It's a shame 'cause it's really pretty.

Well, I never thought that I would say this, but Steam screwed this up. I originally bought this game in the Oculus store, but I wanted to see what Steam was up to for $3. To start with, they removed the virtual controls, which is my preferred way of controlling the ship. Then they removed the ability to customize the hand controllers and now you have to go out of the game to set the controllers, then back in to test them. In and out, in and out... you have got to be kidding. And they took 'reset view' out of the game, too. Steam took a fun-but-imperfect game and managed to make it even... less perfect. Starfighter Arduxim is a steal for $4 from the Oculus store, but not worth $3 from Steam. I have spent hours playing this in VR and loved every minute. Within a few minutes of installing the Oculus version I was flying my ship, practicing flying against drones until I had my ship set up the way I liked. Then on to the game and playing online, which is a lot of fun. This is not the best, state-of-the-art space sim out there, but it never pretended to be. It is a straightforward game that is easy to get into and have fun. And only $4 from OCULUS. I do not recommend the Steam version. Why does Steam hate this game so much?

If you have a HOTAS or maybe two joysticks laying around; this is totally worth the 5 bucks you will spend on it. Its playable with a controller, but its way superior with better input hardware. Its got a little depth, but its mostly simple space flight/combat stuff. Has multiplayer but I havent tried it yet. Also, it works with Trinus VR quite nicely.

Pros: Quick to get in and out of for a burst of action and loading times are negligible. Only jump back to the default environment was when firing a rocket the first time in a session, otherwise, the game has been running rock solid. No MS for me, though YMMV (I'm not easily nauseated) Dev was quick to incorporate dual-joysticks when asked Cons: Graphics are a bit spartan While voice acting is of good technicality, it does come off a bit stilted Bottom Line: Good fun for the price, but don't go in expecting Elite: Dangerous. Does what it says on the tin. Recommended.
