Gunheart - VR Gameplay HTC Vive
24A supreme, social, shooter with a super community.
In a lot of ways, Gunheart reminds me of Warframe. From the random money cases you find along the ground to the appearance customization option to the enemy models themselves. I get so Warframe deja vu feelings.
Not quite strong enough to say it's Warframe in VR but more like I see similar gameplay elements.
Locomotion options galore! These guys got locomotion right. The only thing I'd want is a jump option but that's nitpickey. You can choose from HMD or controller oriented, trackpad or teleport, press the trackpad or just touch, comfort blinders or not.... and more. They nailed locomotion options and more devs should learn from their example.
The "AR in VR" thing that they have going on with their UI is really nice. Some of the AR crosshairs remind me of the anime Nanoha. Especially the bow... It works really well for giving you the feeling of being in a visor.
Where the UI fails is that it places things too far to the outside of the FOV. There are several instances where I could not see all the text popping up on screen or UI elements like the shield meter. It's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things but I wish they were more confined to the center of your view. It's a delicate thing to get right.
Content...
There's a large variety of weapons to unlock and each one has 2-3 upgrades you can purchase. You have 25 levels worth of upgrades on your character.
There seems to be 4 levels worth of story content each having 4 missions of varying types for a total of 16 static missions. There is also a PvP Brawl mode which I never found anyone to fight. Finally there is a rotating weekly set of missions.
This game will likely keep you busy for a while. Oh, did I mention there are elite levels that change not only the difficulty of the mobs but the type of mobs that spawn? %&#@$^ kamikaze hatchlings...
The characters and storyline have a vague Borderlands feel to them IMO. Also not a bad thing. Hopefully it continues in the further missions. It no AAA quality story but I'm still interested in seeing where it goes.
The community that I've seen thus far has been very welcoming and helpful. They're quick to offer tips and help or just someone to goof off in the social area and there are plenty of people coming and going in the social hub if you hang out in there for any period of time.
The whole reason I left in my derp at the start of the video was to show the community's willingness to help out.
Complaints... Speaking of the tutorial, it's bugged to hell. The first taste of the game shouldn't be such a pain point. It would not go past the very first steps no matter what I did. The farthest I was able to get was the third step but I was never able to go past that. The tutorial would refuse to acknowledge the fact that I was doing what it was asking.
That's pretty much it as far as complaints go. There's the standard no quit button complaint but that's about where it ends.
Don't forget to Like, Sub and Share! A few clicks mean a lot to me. Thank you.
