  I remember pouring tons of quarters into Battlezone at the arcade with the periscope console and dual joysticks when I was a kid - It was one of my favorite games. This is a great modern version that doesn't take all your laundry money, but it is more geared towards co-op play. Good buy on sale and the classic mode sure brings back memories !!!

  Not bad at all, but you need to be pretty immune to motion sickness. If you are (or until the developer implements some kind of comfort options) it's quite fun! It can be played either solo or via online campaign, co-op only. The solo part is there, but do not expect the same experience as with others, this game was clearly made to be played in co-op, as some mission types are quite unmanagable solo and skills are worthless if not used against other players (like healing). Campaigns are played on a hex based map. Maps can be small, medium or large, with four different difficulties. During the campaign you earn points, can invest them in attributes (armor, heal, collecting and so on) or use them for weapon/special skill upgrades on specific points on the campaign map. The campaigns are stored on the host, so you can continue later with your friends. That said, it's quite hard and taxing sometimes. If all people die, you loose all progress and the only thing that can prevent it are lives you need to buy from your hard earned cash. Those are shared between players so it can be quite rage-inducing when playing with beginners who are neither too young to understand teamwork or people just beginning with their battlezone career and avoiding voice chats alltogether. There is only one final boss fight, none in between, and it feels like a simpler raid boss. There are special enemies that act like mini bosses (bullet sponges) but they are mixed with the mission type you are playing anyway and there is only one variant of it. Learning all the mechanics is quite hard as the given tutorials are far away from teaching you the campaign UI, basic radar stuff, available skills and so on. You need to learn it by playing with others (at best) and that leads to having not a single clue for the first 3-5 missions. You can unlock skills, weapons (through sub-objectives and other ways) and tanks (by completing the campaign) that stay with you. Skills and weapons can then be bought later on in the campaign, but they require campaign money. Tanks are picked at the joining/starting of the campaign. Some are more specialies, some have better starting-loadouts. It's quite unintuitive though and you need some time to get an idea whats happening there. All that said, it's a ride! It's hard, with people that are not too shy it's also a lot of fun. You get to work together, specialise, try the harder difficulties and so on. It will also test the limits of players. A campaign is easily a 1+ hour task and you can and will notice how other persons get tired because of the continous VR stress and nothing feels more depressing to end a campaign early because of required real life breaks or your body that cant handle the nousea anymore three missions before the end of the campaign.

  +) Great graphics and presentation, runs butter smooth +) Solid controls +) Amazing sounddesign and extremely satisfying weapon feedback +) Seamless drop in/out multiplayer +) Promotes coop play via healing mechanic +) Deep customization and upgrade paths for your tank +) Strategy map element adds a nice bit of depth beyond just pew pew +) DLC is cosmetics only, as it should be +) Controller and KB+Mouse support -) Denuvo DRM on top of Steam -) No base building elements. In summary, this is a slightly flawed gem (a basebuilding mode would be killer!) , but still a gem. For the asking price I'd say yes, go for it. 38 bucks is a bit on the edge, but during sale this is a definitive buy. There's three amazing VR cockpit experiences you can buy right now: X-Plane (with FlyInside XP), Elite Dangerous, and this. Ok maybe House of the Dying Sun too, but while both that and Battlezone are roguelikes, Battlezone definitely has deeper and more satisfying gameplay. This is an extremely solid VR title, and among the best you can get right now. Remember: Lives are shared. Don't play recklessly and WAIT TO BE REVIVED!

  This is one of the first legit, VR game that I have played. Built for VR from the ground up. This is what I, as an early Vive adopter, was hoping to play on day one. This game shows the real promise of VR. This is what I waited for. Play this game. You won't regret it. Good gameplay, coop campaign, modable tanks, tanks to unlock, it is legit.

  There are a lot of VR games on Steam. Most of them are garbage, some of them are worth their money. A few are good. But there are only a handful of VR games that are outstanding. BATTLEZONE is sure one of these outstanding VR titles. Awesome looks combined with maximum fun and easy controlling. Everything you want - no everything you NEED for your VIVE or Oculus gear. You don't have it? Go get it! It is worth every cent and you get one of the best VR games out there in the vasteness of Steam!

  Awesome coop game. It can be unforgiving at times, sure.. but still... very fun. Best played with a couple friends, it's very hard to find any available public games. The fast movement in VR can make some people sick, but they added comfort settings for people that are bothered by fast movement in VR. This game is really fun and if you like coop games in VR then it's a must have.

  An absolutely terrific game. I was expecting a simple little shooter, but this game is so much more. The core game is a war map, where each hex represents a mission. You have to fight your way to the enemy base (say about 15-20 missions) and destroy it. The game is very hard. Enemy forces scale up quickly and if unchecked will spawn a nemesis tank that is very tough. The AI units operate fairly effectively. They will try to flank you and will actively try to dodge your shots; however, they are not so skilled that the game becomes unfun. There is a co-op multiplayer that I've not tried which would likely improve the game further. All in all, this is easy to recommend. I do have two complaints: 1 - To reduce enemy power you have to find a power relay station. These appear at random in missions, which means that your success in a particular war can be very RNG influenced. 2 - The in-app purchases are BS. Sorry devs, I calls it as a I sees it. There's no reason for bobbleheads and camos to be a purchase instead of an unlockable at the price of the core game.

  Hands down one of the top VR experiences to be had, period. That being said, I'd like to leave some tips for those just starting out, as there is little to no tutorial/explanation. 1. Although it is primarily an action experience, strategizing and patience are keys to success in your campaign. You will quickly learn that running and gunning will not get you far in this game. 2. Expanding on point #1, start out on beginner or easy with the heavy tank. The weapons are more powerful and the tank can take much more abuse than the medium. Use turbo VERY sparingly, as it quickly drains your shields. 3. Speaking of shields, learn to keep an eye on them during combat (circle split into 4 segments surrounding your radar). If your front shield goes into red, pivot your tank so another segment is taking damage. 4. Between hexes (levels), make sure you are upgrading your shields by hitting RB - this brings up the upgrade screen where you can spend your data (credits) on upgrade modules. So many other aspects to this game, but those are the main points I wish I knew from the beginning. This is really a fantastic game. It may take a few hours to get into, but with a little perseverence this experience becomes quite rewarding. 10/10

  The game is quite fun. However, for an already heavily overprized game, they choose to charge extra if you want new skins for your tank. They also use the Denuvo DRM, which is something the people who actually buy the game has to pay for.

  After only a few hours of play, I can say with complete confidence that BattleZone has entered my elite group of "BEST VR GAMES" alongside the greats like Super Hot and Rec Room. You might be dissuaded because VR controllers aren't supported, but don't be! Somehow, after 2 years of playing VR games the one that doesn't use VR controllers is also the one that's immersed me the most. The way your cockpit moves and interacts with you, the ways your weapons unfold when you swap them, and all of the UI elements are extremely well thought out by Rebellion. I found myself trying to look at my watch or point at things for my teammates in the real world and laughing at myself, again, as an experienced VR player making these day one type mistakes. And the immersive-ness isn't the main selling factor, not by far; For me it's the co-op experience. My friends and I are completely enamored with it as it's basically a fully functioning entirely online co-op roguelike tank game. For some of us it's a dream come true, others just an awesome co-op experience. Then there's the surprisingly deep gameplay. Just deciding where you move next on the mission grid is interesting enough, but then there's also the tank you'd like to choose along with what weapons are your favorites or would fill some holes in your strategy, and finally the ability to purchase mods to increase your shields, active reload, etc. There's even more that plays into the grid system but I won't go any further since this review is already way too long. Combat itself is great. The movement might give you a small dosage of motion sickness at first, but once you get the hang of it it feels great. The UI again is top notch, and shooting feels immensely satisfying. The variety of level types is a really nice touch, but it could be a little bit more varied in my opinion. Okay really this is too long, and someone actually looking for reviews shouldn't need this much nitty gritty, but I just love the game so much I can't help it. Definitely without a doubt get this game if you have friends that would like to play this with you, it's perfect for that. I can't wait to play more.
