  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.

  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.

  +) 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!

  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.

  The game's competently made, but it has a lot of really glaring issues with it, especially in terms of pacing. Battlezone is a pretty straightforward tank combat game, taking on a roguelite format with missions arranged on a hex grid, moving from mission to mission with the ultimate goal of getting your tank to the "AI Core", which apparently serves as the final boss of the game. What that doesn't tell you is that the games are [i]long,[/i] and not in a good way. Missions take at least 5 minutes each, usually 10-15 or even more, and you'll easily crawl through at least 20 of them if you beeline straight from one end of the board to the other. The length comes less from the missions being complex as it does from both extreme droughts of enemy spawns (presumably due to bugs or design oversights) or, ironically, the game throwing walls of enemies at you that you cannot possibly hope to take head-on, regardless of which tank you use, so you'll be lining up artillery shots and cover-dipping for minutes at a time once the game ramps up the enemy counts. As salt in the wound, the game is clearly designed for VR and is extremely unaccomodating for desktop users. The UI quite literally takes up half of the screen vertically when your view is perfectly horizontal, and the UI, including important parts like selected weapon, ammo counts, and the radar, [i]literally disappear if you look up to shoot, because it's presented as a 3D cockpit on your screen.[/i] Furthermore, some other UI elements are entirely obscured without the dedicated bind to look around the cockpit, which clashes with the default bind for aiming on controller, right stick. [i]You have to push in right stick and look down and left or right to see parts of the UI at all.[/i] Even with the glaring UI issues aside, Battlezone gives me extreme eye strain as someone who normally doesn't suffer from that. The green targeting reticule blends in with everything, you're always having to shoot at far-away, tiny targets, keeping eyes on the radar that's constantly fighting to get out of your in-game vision, getting flashing bright green everywhere when you take damage, when everything important is neon on white or light blue. I legitimately have a headache now, and I never get headaches. Long story short, if you like games with absolutely glacial pacing, sitting and waiting for enemies to spawn for ten minutes, sitting and straining your eyes on tiny pixels shooting at you for ten minutes, doing all of this 30+ times over the course of 3-5 hours, and UI that's obnoxiously non-VR-unfriendly, you might like this. Otherwise, stick with Atari's Combat, or Pandemic's Battlezone games, or even the arcade classic version of Battlezone instead.

  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.

  I play this game in normal 2D and its a good blast. Its very nostalgic with a modern twist to it that brings it up to date without spoiling that old 1980s kind of feel to it. It has good graphics and sound and decent playability. Its an arcade game through and through so it is what it is and if you can respect that then you will enjoy this title. Fair amount of re-playability, I like to play on medium difficulty on medium size maps and I get enough fun out of it. Its a game that you can keep on coming back to for an hour here an hour there with limited stress factors. Overall its good fun, worth adding to your games library especially if you like arcade games.

  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!
