Badminton Kings VR Reviews

acc not bad but needs improving on their physics.. they need to increase the x y z for drops because it almost always just touches the net most of the time.

good game but there is no ai 2v2s and racket customization i would like this update but i doubt because this game is very old

I was very excited when the appnori games began to get multiplayer updates. The developers seem competent with a steady amount of updates that brought different things such has graphical settings, and even catering towards people of either hand dominance. Unfortunately a friend and myself are not able to connect to the multiplayer servers. We've tried to globally connect as well as direct connections. We've even tried to simulate a local area network just to get it to connect peer to peer. All of this was not successful in the end and we are unable to try out the multiplayer. Although the game itself has a lot potential and continues to play better every update, there are many flaws in it as well. I would like to see a wider variety of locomotion in this game to accomodate diffrent play styles and areas. Not everyone would like to be teleported for instance. This is a paid game and at 15 dollars it is a bit weird to see ads in a game. I know they probably need to get their revenue back; heck the way they implemented the ads is pretty creative being on the billboard in game and all. At least before all of that is set aside I would like for at least the multiplayer to be functioning. These sport like simulations could potentially be great for esports type competitiveness, and it pains me that we are not quite there yet.

For quite a small development team and small game in general, this provides a brilliant, realistic experience for anyone - be it casual players or real enthusiasts. Although there are some small bugs with the multiplayer, it is still a great game to play with AI and with your friends. This game fits onto any VR player's wishlist. 9/10

One of the games that can keep me playing for more than 1hr. However, I only have a 2m * 1.5m space, hence my oculus torch keep hitting my computer desk or my computer whenever the shuttlecock falls short in front of me. These cost me a lot of points amd scratches to my Torch controller. Hope the developer add movements of us via the thumb pad, so I can move a step or two more & able to reach the shuttlecock. Overall, it is a great game!

TL:DR - A bit of fun for a kid but a long way from being badminton and any claims of Life-Like or Realistic Physics are clearly false claims, bordering on false advertising. Not really worth the £11 I paid for it, but would be worth £5 as a bit of a laugh. Notes for the interested and if the developers care enough to improve things, see below. Being a long time player of badminton I thought I would give this a go as we are currently in a lock-down status (Covid-19). As a simple thing to entertain your kids this might be ok, but the people who have reviewed this as 'Great' or 'Amazing Physics' have clearly never played badminton. I suspect that this game uses the same physic's model as the developers other titles (Table tennis basis maybe given the lack of movement) and they didn't want to change it. Key Problems: - You don't control your movement - This wouldn't be an issue if it put you where you needed to be, but lots of times it put me in a position where to hit the shuttle (Ball or Birdie in some parts of the world) you had to move your hands outside the guardian area, which means you can (and likely will) damage your touch controllers or your hand and other property, I hit may hand against a wall pretty hard, but I will survive. - If the devs wanted to improve this One of the thumb sticks could be used to move you around the court, but I think the underlying game mechanics probably hinder this. - the Slow down to signify smashes is, I guess, there to let the player react to the CPU smashing you, but it really messes with your timing when you do force the opponent to lift the shuttle and you have to learn to delay your stroke to smash the shuttle - you need to be able to turn this off, full stop. - Also if the game does have the ability to use physics between the racket and the shuttle then any lifted shot should allow me to smash it, I shouldn't have to wait for the game to tell me I can. - The games only score to 6 points. - it is a world standard for badminton to play to 21pts, I realise that as a bit of fun 6 pts is fine, but you should be able to set this in the menu, this is a really simple fix. - The physics seem to work on the basis that if you play a shot with a small amount of force (and angle) you get one flight path and if you increase the speed of swing then you get the next level up etc, which means if you are standing mid-court (not by choice, see above) and you play a tight net drop then most of the time your shuttle tips the net and falls your side. - I have yet to have a shuttle that has tipped the net fall the opponents side, they have done it to me multiple times. - The Physics don't let you meter out the correct amount of push on the shuttle and the definitely don't seem to take into account the speed the shuttle was travelling to you when you hit it - The court feels small, which in itself is fine but in the lower levels the shuttle seems to be able to land in the tramlines at the side and be called in and as you go up in the levels (there are only 5 levels) the shuttle gets called out in the tramlines, but it doesn't explain the court boundaries at all. - I should also note that the CPU opponent has landed loads of shots in the tramlines that have been called in. This has the potential to be a good VR title, but at the moment they have spent far to much time adding frying pans and boat oars to use as rackets and not enough time making it what it says it is. A badminton game. Worth a few £'s but not worth £11 which I paid for it.

I love this game it is really fun to against ai and friends this really is the one of the best sport vr games you get what you pay for and also can i just say the net physics are sick so overall a good game 9/10

this game is awesome and is so under rated. the physics are god like and the game all in all is just fantastic. it really helps to practice winning gamer in real life. 9/10 without a doubt

Game is way to short for tyhe price, and the feel is very bad. 1) The court is too small. 2) The game is too slow 3) Every time it gets interesting it goes into the most annoying slowmotion effect, that ruins you timing 4) You can only make one serve, and it does not matter what way you hold the racket when you do 5) You do not have much control of how hard you hit. 6) If you try to do a net drop, no matter how you turn the racket, the shot if performed soft will create a shot going downwards. 7) The automatic movement isannoying

I was really looking forward to this game and praying this game wouldn't be like the other esports games limiting how many steps I can take or forcing assisted moving. Badminton kings could be really awesome and one of the best esport games if there was an option to turn off the assisted moving. Assisted moving makes the game not fun or immersive for me. Please also add user adjustable sized courts so we can decide for ourselves how big we want the court in our play spaces. Some of us Vive users made big play spaces in our homes for games like this. Add these two features and this game would be one of the best for fun, esport, and exercise. For now it's a refund until the devs put these options in the game. I would buy this and Squash Kings again in an heartbeat and even for more money once these player options are added. I will change this review once assisted moving is an option and we can choose the size of our courts to best fit our play spaces. Big or small. I'm just tired of us vive large play space players being ignored.
