TankVR Reviews

as an ex tank gunner i can say this is rubbish

For 99 cents it wouldnt be worth it to return this game. The game at its current state is something less than desirable but with a little bit of changes here and there it could turn out to be a great game. The biggest change would be a better way to control the tank and the turret. That is probably why this game is not as good as it could be because the controls are akward and can be improved. I very much like that you are inside the tank as a crewman but the problem is one man can't control a tank on his own so for the multiplayer I suggest you should have an arcade like mode where you go against other players in your own tank and have another mode where you are in a tank with another person and you have to communicate with the person to effectively use the tank (One person would be the driver and the other be a gunner). I might have sounded very rude in this review but I truly do think that in the right hands this game has great potential, is very unique and could evolve to an amazing game so keep the good work

Could be a good game. A little basic for now but has potential. Seems to have bugs at moment on positioning you in the tank with the right control grip. This should select gunner or command positions but it was sending me out of the tank at random spots, sometimes half in half out tank, other times 50 mtrs away from tank. Had to restart to get back inside. The graphics are dated, but hey, it's 79p. Keep updates coming and I'm sure it'll be fine. Uk-Kestrel

This product has a lot of potential, however the most recent updated made the game unplayable,it would ask you to shoot a target to start the game but when I shoot the target nothing happens.I want to love this game but I cannot currently recommended this game until this game breaking bug is fixed (Edit:they have appeared to fix the issue)

If you want to know if a Tank Simulation could work in VR I can only suggest that you try this game. Calling this a Simulation at the current state is very ambitious from the DEV´s. But we will see what happens when time goes by and more updates were coming. So far it is like calling Super Mario Cart a Formula 1 Simulation... Anyhow, the feeling of sitting inside the Tank is just great and standing in the Commander Hatch while driving is just amazing.

Its got potential. Its very basic but if they add AI tanks and multiplayer like it says then it can be a great game. The graphics are alright and sound is simple. Hope the devs update to what they said they will. Would recomend when AI tanks and mulitplayer gets added.

not quite a full sim, but you get a tank interior and gamepad controls on motion controls. ai tanks to shoot would be nice. not bad for less than a dollar.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] [i] The only issue I had was that the right and left Touch controllers were swapped as far as HTC Vive controller menu instructions [/i] Currently as of 1.5.0, there are two maps. Your objective is to destroy enemy AI tanks. That was easy enough on the first map as it was relatively small and there were also these big red arrows just in case you didn't know where the enemy tanks were. I had problems on the second map. The map is larger. And for whatever reason, the big red arrows that I could have sworn were there at the start of the game, disappeared. I found and destroyed 3 tanks, but I looked all around the map and couldn't find any other thanks. Are there even more than 3 tanks? It almost doesn't matter because the enemy AI tanks are terrible. I don't know how you would lose against them. The only real challenge is finding them. The other challenge is traversing the terrain. This game has a severe case of the pop-ups, especially on the second map. The terrain doesn't even look that good, PS2 level graphics, but even then there's pop-up boulders blocking your path within a few feet of you, even if you're travelling slow. I had this error when I traversed water. My whole HMD went under water and stayed there. I could look in the periscope and things would be dry as I had passed the water area. But once I looked away from the periscope, I was literally drowning in waver ... over dry land. I also had this branch hit me in the face ... inside the tank. You can't destroy trees, you can't run them over. Small rocks are obstacles you can't overcome. Even some hills are unpassable. Literally the only thing you can destroy is other tanks ... usually with 1 shot. This game says seated or room-scale, but I have no idea why you'd play this game room-scale. Your motion controls act solely as a gamepad. You move your joystick up and down to accelerate and left and right to steer. You move your turret gun with your other motion control all around. That's it. You have a nice VR environment of being inside a tank, but you can't grab anything. It's just there for decoration. Really it's the periscope you're using for everything. So put your head in there and navigate and play search and destroy. That's really the whole game. And there's a local leaderboard. This game was .99 cents, then they jacked up the price to $4.99 USD and sale price of $2.99 USD. The game is only worth .99 cents given the current content. Only buy if you want to support EA and hope the devs keep updating the game, because it needs a lot more content and a lot more polish to be worth the normal price. Rate 5/10. Want to take a chance on these devs?

It's just a tank shooting range with bleh sound effects and basic models. However, the only reason I ever invested in VR was for any kind of crew and first person based tank sim and it's obvious from the moment you load in that's what TankVR is going for. There is quite literally nothing else that is even close to this future style of gameplay and I have been waiting for it for 2 years now. All I can say is while I'm very biased towards this game because all I've wanted for god knows how long is a VR tank sim, I think it's more than worth the dollar just for the potential this game holds in the future. Keep up the work devs, and I hope TankVR comes out exactly as you plan.

The Concept of a VR tank game sound cool, but this game is not. The camera has a mind if its own, you can't play the game after 5 mins because the camera has moved outside of the tank and makes it near imposible to aim. there is no real gameplay, all you do is hit paper targets, there is no tank on tank combat at all. The devloper as also not released a single update since release and has pretty much disappared. Save you money for when [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/636620/Tanks_VR] Tanks VR [/url] releases if you want a tank game that has any promise.
