YAA THERE OUT OF EARLY ACCUSE YAAA well there is no yaa because they quit on the game its almost been a year and nothing
(WARNING)Ok let me start of with when it first game out the lighting and quality was not seizures causing as they are now but you have been warned.
1. this game is not what it showed or wanted to take the path in now don't take me wrong when i say its a michael bay movie where everything is like PEW PEW *EXPLOSINS* TAKE COVER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. but thats what the game is and its just geeez like are my eyes ok am i going blind . Now back on track about the campaign. Its just what is the story a star wars knock off but in VR, so when i got this game it only had one mission but i kept it because they were still updating and had plans for new things like missions and guns and more gibber gabber. But when they came out slowly i could not wait but it was so long that i dident know the controls now idk if they changed it but i will get to that in a sec. The new mission was the forest one it was not good but not bad but was on the bad side but i always love the openings to it your in a plane or APC but when you played it the npc on your team all died or just sucked and got stuck the enemy team only went after you if you in like a 20 meter range.
2. The controls its just bad you can't move and the totoual is just what are you teaching me its like setting up the clock of one of the old cable boxes for tv. the combat was ok but not what you would call fun its just shoot and sometime force push and stabbing.
3. just a let down to me i was a big fan and checking the updates and waiting for the time to come and have small but new content now its just why would you leave a good game even if it does not make you a lot of money but it was something that star wars fans would call cool and fun (EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH BUT CHUBBY YOU CALLED IT A STAR WARS KNOCK OFF YOU NUMB NUT) SHUT THE FU** UP geez its like every review i make i have to deal with this retard but any way yes i did say that well because there was no game play and the story i don't even know it so i took it as a star was jedi but with a gun to. Now when I said *something that star wars fans would call cool and fun* i ment it as if you did base it off of it take it in a way not to copy it but add your twist to it that makes it yours you know.
But to the Dev or Devs please if you read this i really hope you make another update and kick this game in shape and if this long period of time sins the last update to make it better please i will eat my own words i will shut the fu** up and re-write this whole review.
But i have to say i can't recommand its not worth it rn.
So this is like me from the future from like 3 mins ahead but note THE DEV IS A A**HOLE as someone got banned from making commants on his game or games because he just wanted to write a review and to help him so i see no updates as he is stubborn and should not be a game dev as for a dev takes those commants and makes it into something great or to do something with is and not get pissed and get mad at the person who made true facts about it stating he is a ahole is most likely going a little to far but i have never seen a dev be such a baby besides the planet of the apse game dev so i have seen two so far.
so will there be a good update no, is this game discontinued most likely.

Well, I usually don't just buy stuff on a whim but I was in a VR mood today and bought this cheap game. Well, it is alpha. Not worth any money at all right now. It is fast paced and intense in a sense but the arm swing sliding around motion will make a lot of people sick and it is not intuative enough to be what I call comfortable locomotion in any sense. You feel like you have no sense of being able to steer well. There are no sound options, very few graphic options, weapon switching is non-existing. I like my gun in my right hand and the saber in my left. Switching the MCs is not how I am suppose to do that. The Ai is stupid and the enemies are just piled up in groups and lines shooting at you so it is dumb like that. The flashes blind you, getting hurt blinds you to the point you can't see to shoot so you might as well be dead. I hate to give this a negative but it really is not worth any money right now. EA is not for kickstarting. Indie devs have to start saving money before making games and putting out something worth playing when EA starts. I can't except junk anymore or skeletal games. Wait to get this after they add A LOT more to it. My channel has some live play which will be posted here shortly.

This game is a lot of fun! The feeling of jumping into battle with your sword in one hand and gun in the other is exilerating! I also know that this game will get better overtime. I would definently reccomend this game to anyone who wants to have a bit of fun in vr.

so this game has the potential to be a very very cool VR experience.. i have been waiting to jump into a large scale battle and feel like a beast.. however the controls are unbearably bad. movement is horrid and i am playing on an occulus so its even worse. i have faith that the game will update and be worth the 5$ i spent but please please just do something about the controls they are so bad.

-Not good
-Feels unfinished
-Other reviews show the game was released just to "say it's complete"
-Pricey for bad content.
1/5
This is just simply not good. Ground campaign feels buggy and unfinished, guns are really boring to shoot, and horribly annoying. LightSaber type weapon can't block shots. Space campaign feels like you're driving a slug, the missiles take way too long to lock on a target that's literally touching the front of your ship. Overall, the game is just bad, and feels unfinished, also from other reviews it seems like it was released only so they can abandon it and try to make them feel good about them "releasing" the game even though it's not even close to ready to be released.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1]
So this game is not good. I know that, but I decided to buy it at the current .99 cents USD sale price and answer the question that some of you may be asking. Yeah, so it's not good, but might it be worth .99 cents? I mean you can buy a breakfast sausage burrito from Taco Bell for .99 cents USD and that would be a better investment for your .99 cents, no doubt. So let's assume you have more money than sense and just want to buy another game in VR on the cheap.
The answer is yes, but just barely. There really isn't a lot of content here. The graphics may have looked awesome in 2017 for VR, but now in 2019 they look rather pedestrian. Plus the controls are clunky, the UI is a mess, and there's like zero optimization here. On my 1060 GTX, I experienced frame rate drops, warping, pop-in, & clipping.
The gameplay could have been so much fun. Talk about a missed opportunity. You have this cool light saber that you can use a blast wave (frontal cone) special ability or pick up objects (just like Darth Vader). You can jump up way high from the ground. Wouldn't have been cool to pick up enemies with your light saber, bring them closer to you, and choke them to death? Anyways, those abilities are basically useless in the battlefield. You'll be using your gun 99% of the time.
And the gunplay is less than stellar. You basically shoot behind cover or at a distance and pick off enemies. Gain some ground, shoot some more, back away or get behind cover if you start getting hurt. Rinse and repeat. The only feasible strategy. You do have full locomotion (or teleportation) but no smooth or snap turning (turn IRL).
You have 4 ground missions and 3 air / space missions. There is very little story. The missions are rather short and uninspired. While the ground missions were okay for me, the space ones were absolutely atrocious. The space missions here are probably the worst I have ever played in VR. Clunky, bad-looking, and just stupid.
There's also online MP PvP action (and coop?). But you guessed it, there's nobody online. Good luck with that.
[b].99 cents Sale Price Rating 5.5/10. I'd rather have the breakfast sausage burrito from Taco Bell, but since I have to drive there to get one, I settled for this.[/b]

I dunno how this game is out of early acces.. Constant game crashes, Bugs and low framerates.
Bad controllers and low options of controller scheme. They should have stayed in early acces for longer to see what ppl would love in the game. Headmovement is not a good movement in a VR game, It needs to move with your controllers. Also telleport is Awfull in a Multiplayer game!
Lastly the spaceship controllers are a joke. You got a stick on your side that is the throtle. and its so wanky that i cant even explain it!
Dont get this game untill they patched a lot of bugs that are still in the game, that should have been fixed in the early acces of the game,

Locomotion is terri-bad! You have to touch the top of the track pad and then swing your arms to move. Might not sound so bad, however, shooting and moving are out of the question and it feels like you are ice skating. Take a few seconds to get up to speed and then you slide for about 5 feet after trying to stop. So you end up behind or to the side of whoever you are trying to get close to.
Cover mechanics are incomplete. I was killed several times while crouched behind some sandbags.
Pretty much every weapon feels excalty the same. Only difference seems to be semi-auto vs full-auto.
For the price I'll hold on to it for now and see if they improve things. But I cannot recommend this game as of now. Wait for the finished product.

This was not listed as EA This litterally one scene so far and that is it took 10 mins to clear
The opening is very cool dropping into battle in a drop ship.
Locomotion is a weird unintuitive arm swinger that is very fast and steers in the direction that you look
. No sickness for me but I bet it catches some people out.
The gun is always the left controller,
enemy ai is super basic they all stand together
active sceene with a lot of lasers it feels quite exciting,
blinding flashes are not pleasant in VR and are obstructive
This game was mot listed as EA when launched and at the minute feels hollow
light sabers and starwars feel confirmed... This may be enough for some but for me NOT worth the price in my eyes.
This experience is not a game , feels bare bones and released well too early

*update* This blew up more than I expected. It's been 6 months since my review and sounds like the they have a different team on this project now. I'm hopefull things are looking better now and it's nice to see the dev group wanting to fix issues and stay in touch with the community. Read my review below with a grain of salt.
Danger!!!! Game is not actually playable in this state and developer will ban you from forums for trying to bring up issues!
Menu button on Vive controller does not actually enable lightsaber at time of posting and if you go into the negative "credits/money" you will no longer be able to play the game (any level!!!!) because you can't buy the required weapons (at 0 credits) to start the level since you are in the negatives. Game breaking bug! Also the game crashed once in my little time trying it.
When I brought these issues up in the forum I was banned for "The users computer performance was apparently not right for the game", which i'm not sure why that's a reason for banning...
