Armor Clash VR: Military RTS virtual reality gameplay on HTC Vive
41Gameplay from Armor Clash VR, a military RTS that mimics the traditional RTS control scheme and mechanics.
Armor Clash VR is a game similar to games like Command and Conquer, except in virtual reality. You use a HTC Vive motion controller to select/command units and manage your base.
This game has a lot of flaws at the moment. Poor performance, unintuitive controls, and obscure mechanics. As much as I love RTS games, I high reccomend against buying this game until it gets some more polish.
Official description of Armor Clash VR from Steam:
"Armor Clash VR is an RTS game of modern warfare. In the virtual reality environment, you can build a base, command units above the sky. You will find it is also fun to play an RTS game in VR.
Features:
Traditional RTS game play, with base building, unit training and fast-paced combat.
The VR control is easy. 8-12 minutes per game is fit for players.
10 skirmish maps of different environment styles, worth replaying.
Faction customization, over 30 vehicles available to form your own legion.
Week Points:
I developed this game only by myself, and it is a great challenge to make an RTS game in VR, so there are still week points, I shall tell you honestly.
About the performance
The RTS game often has more units than others, and the VR is also a performance killer, so for the VR RTS, the burden is too heavy, but I still did a lot to optimize it from graphic to gameplay. Now a GTX980 or better graphic card is suggested.
About the control
It seems to be the first VR RTS game, that is exciting but also means I have no one to reference(or copy ^_^), so I designed the VR control. You can use your Vive handler to control the game like using the mouse in desktop, There is still space for improvement but by now it can handle all functions you need in the game.
So please consider these good and week points before you decide to buy, but I will try my best to update and polish it, like I did in my previous game -- "Armor Clash".
About desktop version:
Armor Clash VR is only for VR gameplay, its non-VR version is Armor Clash, which is run on standard PC monitor and has different gameplay."
