Swords of Gurrah - VR Gameplay Valve Index
55A rough gem but a gem none the less. Remember this is a Beta game and we were on a test branch. Keep that in mind. I also want to quickly thank Razael for giving us a tour or the game. Here are my thoughts on the current beta build.
I loved the games visuals. The armor looked great. The weapons looked bad ass. The arenas were pretty good. Not stellar but pretty good.
No complaints about the audio either.
The combat was quite a bit of fun. I'd love to experience the chaos of 20 people on the aqueducts map for any game mode. The large selection of weapons that actually play and feel different offers a lot variety to combat with some nice rock, paper, scissors strategy or effective team comps. Really looking forward to seeing how team based comps evolve. Imagine a 3 man shield wall with 2 people behind that with halberds poking over the wall...
Where the rough edges start to show is in the UI/UX. You're sort of left to figure things out without any sort of tutorial at the moment. Not even basic text on a floating plaque. With some of the UI interactions like showing the mirror, this becomes very confusing. It's never a good thing to leave players guessing but again this is a beta so hopefully this is addressed before or early into Early Access.
True to that Break it Early Test Application title, we broke the game. Whether it was being able to kinda grab weapons out of your opponents hands but not really, to not being able to walk up a tiny step, we found a decent number of bugs in our play session. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, hopefully these get fixed before EA or very soon there after.
As always with PvP focused games my biggest fear is population. The $20 price tag isn't too steap. It's in line with Blade and Sorcery and Onward. Once the game is polished I could see that being reasonable. It may be a barrier to a healthy population at the launch of EA.
I'm still excited for more Swords of Gurrah both as a player and as a VR ESports fan. I think the game has a lot of potential and I hope you do too.
