Quantum League
If you read the synopses of the game and it sounds cool to you, you’d like it. It’s as simple as that. It takes this concept and executes it super well, with satisfying, fast paced gunplay to boot. All complaints are minor quality of life ones or from people misunderstanding how the game works.
The game plays seamlessly with this “time paradox” concept. Everything you do matters and in the future you have to consider what your past lives did, what your opponent did, and the timings of all those things. That can sound complex, but generally people are just playing 1 on 1, and you’ll get the concepts soon. You can win by being the best at shooting or you can win by outsmarting your opponent. Do both for a round or two and you’ll feel like an unstoppable genius. When someone kills you and pre-emptively outsmarts you, you’ll be impressed at how they cut you off at every turn. Other reviews complain about some strategies they feel is unfair - you can safely ignore them. This game’s strategy is deep and tactics that seem unstoppable can be punished brutally when you realize their weaknesses. Racing a health pack can seem an obvious good play - denying it to your opponent can’t be bad, right? - but now you have a large portion of the round that you are now vulnerable. And heading to the health packs puts you in the open - a future clone can kill you when you are there. And leaving a gunfight to grab a health pack can leave your past clones helpless.

I love this game! I bought it the day it was released in Early Access (Around May 2020). I LOVE time travel and I like FPS games, so I was super hyped for this game! (It’s right up my alley!) There’s not many players that have the game, so a lot of the time you’ll be waiting in the queue for a while.
I strongly advise joining the Quantum League Discord server, and adding a few people from there to avoid the long queue problem. I put a tag next to a bunch of new friends and acquaintances on Steam saying “QL” So I can search for a match more easily. A general chat feature would be a good addition to the game, as well as a way to join people directly from Discord if possible. I’ll suggest that on the Official Discord, if either/both haven’t been suggested already.

Blaston
An intense competitive VR workout game that combines FPS mechanics, with deck building and a hint of fighting game mechanics. In this game you face another live opponent (or bots while you wait for a real opponent), in a 1 vs 1 duel. Guns spawn around your play field. You fire swarms of slow moving bullets at your opponent, while simultaneously dodging their bullets or blocking them. Learn a variety of weapon combos to gain the edge over your opponent. The game is easy to learn, with a high skill ceiling.

This is the best VR game I have ever played. It’s a steal for the price.
Easy to learn, impossible to master, and the most intense workout of any game available.
All of your opponents are human so no two matches are ever the same. There are endless combinations of tactics and you will pick up new ones constantly from your opponents. There’s always a way to best even the seemingly impossible opponents.
Seriously this game will work up a sweat like no other. It is a complete cardio workout program. You will crouch, jump, lean, duck, dodge, and not even realize how hard you’re working out because the matches are so intense.

ARK-ADE
ARK-ADE! where you get transported into arcade machine
[retro FPS] [fast pace]
equip gun that looks cool, shooting down enemy, protecting the ark and get as high score as you can and get your name on the leaderboard and ofcourse have fun
seriously though i had alot of fun even when i died a ton of time on higher difficulty
and finding secrets.
Pros:
it has a mixture of pistol whip and super hot
power-up are cool especially the laser gun!
Cons:
accidentally reload when you have power up throws away your current weapon back to default

I’ve played several hours of this & I was pleasantly surprised. Which is why I kept coming back for more.
This game is definitely a fast paced shooter, somewhere between the realms of Super Hot & Pistol Whip.
You get to move around freely, explore the different paths & the secrets within each level.
There’s power- ups to choose from & a bullet time mode.
One of the reasons I kept coming back was the insane Boss battles near the end. I couldn’t stop playing until I prevailed. This game allows you to just jump in & play, not worrying about stories or saving - it’s an arcade shooter after all. Very fun.

Soldat 2
It’s a good, fun game, but still lacks a fair bit of refinement.
Hit registration is absolutely horrendous at the moment. You throw a knife at someone, you can see it hits the mark, because it then stops and drops to the floor, but no damage is done.
Similar thing with sniper rifles. You see the bullet pass through the opponent and it does zero damage.
Grenades. Sometimes you hit a person with all 3 grenades and they still don’t die, but they throw just one back at you and poof, you’re dead.
Player balancing system is just silly. When you join a server with an even number of players, you become the poor soul that is going to be tossed back and forth between teams whenever the team you’re in exceeds the other team’s score by 2 (flag caps or bases occupied). You might get thrown into the opposing team just as they’re about to lose. Lovely.

I wouldn’t recommend buying this, even if it’s for nostalgia purposes.
The game is literally dead, whenever I attempt to play there’s noone online on any servers - I’ll join a game and play with bots for a while and occasionally 1 or 2 people may join but then leave after 10-15 minutes.
There’s no Oceanic community, that’s for sure. The only community is a few Russians and Germans that sometimes populate their server, but other than that - it’s essentially dead.
There’s also no effort to boost the player population, such as creating communities for specific regions, simple things such as in the Soldat 2 Discord you can create a rank specifically for their region so people can tag @Oceania or @Australia “let’s populate a server” - there’s none of that or anything close.

TimeTekker
TimeTekker is a fun little (fixed-screen) arcade-style bullet-hell arena-survival game in which you play as a Space Ninja who has the ability to deflect enemy projectiles and slow down time.
The game has absolutely no story, whatsoever, and that is reflective of its arcade game nature. It is a game meant for the player to jump in and play, no questions asked.

Really love this game so far, it hits that perfect difficulty level for me as a 27 year old gamer. It’s more about brains then reflexes in otherwords!
The game seems hard at first, but as you get better Merciless becomes the perfect amount of Difficulty for extended play. (start out on easy/brutal until you get used to it)
In a nutshell, Timetekker has simple yet satisfying gameplay. Shoot, dodge, slow down time. On a deeper level you will need to be learning new strategies to make it onto the top of the leaderboard, ie. moving after shooting since time resumes after firing.

Space Mavericks
Get a spaceship, travel through galaxies and fight battles for your freedom!
Add Space Mavericks to your wishlist, contribute to the development, get access to early versions and exclusive benefits!
Coming Soon!
Still under development, Space Mavericks is a multiplayer artillery action game that is recreating the classic artillery style of aiming and shooting by adjusting the angle and power. However, the game is adding a few unique features to the genre:
-
Unlike most artillery games, Space Mavericks is played in Real-Time;
-
The game is set in space, and shots are affected by planets' gravity forces as they travel to reach the target;
-
Projectiles cause damage and can destroy planets and stars;
-
A variety of commanders and spaceships that have different kinds of attributes, shots, and special moves;
-
A diversity of multiplayer modes prepared with ranking systems for the competitive scenario;
-
An adventure mode with a rich story and giant bosses;
-
Fast, fun, and addictive.
Aim and Move
As with any classic artillery game, you can aim, shoot and move by adjusting the weapon’s angle and power. Be aware that gravity forces will interfere with your movement and shots!
Trajectory Projection
To help you deal with gravity interference, have the spaceship AI simulate the shot’s trajectory. An excellent strategy to check where you’re aiming to and avoid generating heat for nothing.
Heat
Heat dissipation is one of the most significant challenges in space, and that’s no different in Space Mavericks. Moving, defending and shooting will generate heat, so use it wisely.
Special Shots
Every Commander has their own unique shots, skills and special powers. Learn their abilities and specials to dominate battles against your enemies.
Choose a Commander that suits your Maverick style on battles. Each of them have unique powers and spaceship abilities. Level them up for unique skins!
We’re creating new Commanders in a regular basis, together with new abilities, spaceships and powers to give to them. What kind of power do you seek? Share your opinion with us.
Check out the Commanders we have so far:
-
Prophet DX7: A versatile commander that can shoot multiple projectiles at once;
-
Goliath: A natural leader that can take a lot of damage to conquer his enemies;
-
Salomea: Damage over time and great Heat control;
-
Locus: A solo sniper with serious damage and teleport powers;
-
Zurr: Combines her unique ability to avoid gravity on the shots or to create massive explosions.
The Universe is so vast, filled with infinite alien species and mysterious technology. Each Commander has their unique spaceship with different attributes, abilities and ultimate powers.
Fight with style! Besides unique powers, you can unlock new fabulous spaceship skins.
You can use your skills to face off other Mavericks from all over the Universe! You’ll be able to create battlegrounds for up to 8 players and customize them with different settings.
Free-for-all Matches, for those who are lone wolves and fight for themselves.
Team Matches, for those who enjoy some team spirit and more elaborate tactics.
You’ll be able to enjoy a friendly match to hone your skills against other players. Think you’re a true Maverick? Join the ranked battles and see how far you can blast your way up the leaderboard.
You’ll be competing for rewards, experience and resources. Victory will only come for those who use Commanders wisely!
Comanche
Text in italic are “suggestion comments” and have nothing to do with the review itself.
As I am completely new to the Comanche franchise and its control type (simulated flight control), I had a hard time getting used to it, as it was a massive steep learning curve to even learn. Currently I am looking forward of mastering it, but I have already been smashed versus players that play games like these for almost a living (if not a hobby) that use HOTAS. They are a whole other league, lol.

Hello, all. I’m MadCat - a member, and content creator for the North American eSports organization known as Rogue. I received this game for free upon the partnership of the developer/publisher with Rogue.
I’d like to thank the entire team for the lovely opportunity!
After playing the game for about a full day’s worth, I’ve come to the realization that if you want a game that feels like a simulator, get Comanche. Despite the simulator feel, it’s incredibly easy to learn and tricky to master. It features tutorials of increasing difficulty and also includes a free-range weapons training mode which is just what you want and need to hone your skills. For Early Access, this game is well-made and has very little issues. An absolute must if you enjoy 1st/3rd person aerial combat, sims, or just incredibly fun games that have action, attention to detail, and realism in store.
