Eternal Starlight VR

Eternal Starlight VR

Yup. 20 hours. Still enjoying this.

Great place to hang out: Music, scenery, story (skippable, for when you’ve heard it), cool ship design, and options for ship upgrades are plentiful and cool looking in their own right. I love a place with a low-key theme, in which epic battles are played out – much better than chaos in every direction all the time.

I enjoy playing the “same” scenario (it has some random alterations) more than once because this game allows for multiple strategies. It’s fun to win one way. Then think of another approach to try and work out how to win that way, too. In formation, or not? Multiple ships, or one very well equipped ship? What are those little fighters really good for?

This game is a good example of what I always wanted in VR. Omnipotent view of a 3D battlefield and the ability to RTS the crap out of your enemies. The controls feel good and the combat and ship mechanics all seem very nice. So I would recommend this game just for those factors. Overall, the story plays out balanced and difficulty ramps up appropriately. By the time you get into larger combats later in the campaign, with more ships at your disposal, the VR controls really get a chance to shine.

Archon-9 : Alien Defense

An excellent RTS game!

I like the dark gritty visual style; it makes a nice change from the more cartoonish games of this type that seem to be more common.

The control system is intuitive, and it’s neat how play can be switched between the drone view and the map view. There are some times in the game when the drone is either out of action or is recharging, so it’s useful to switch to the map view, and i find myself relying on the marine head cameras to see what is going on in the battle which is another really nice feature, adding some realism.

On the plus side:

Factions that actually feel different to play, gaining some unit types earlier than others and such.

Unique units in most cases replace a standard one with no additional costs,

for example english longbow replacing standard archer or french royalknights replacing standard knights.

Shiptypes more or less depend on region,european have their set of ships,asian have theirs,abbasid+dehli have theirs and rus are just the odd ones with their entirely unique arsenal of longboats.

Plenty of interesting ideas, like getting up on walls or mongols movable structures to name some.
