Feels Like a Demo – End Space VR for Cardboard Review
I wish more VR games supported mfi controllers. It blows me away that they don’t. It’s a shame the Google Cardboard is such a profoundly limiting platform; even the viewing angle suffers. With that said, it is an excellent game tarnished by some rather serious design flaws.
A huge part of the fun for a game like this is PILOTING a space ship and yet we can’t do this here. Instead, we hardly more than float through a dog fight while we shoot the baddies around us. I realize that this is an accommodation to the Cardboard platform but I really wish they had included a way to accelerate when using a game pad. Immersion suffers significantly because of it. Additionally, running out of ammo is just a stupid way to end a game.
Ultimately, the game offers an exciting taste of what the future of iOS gaming holds—but just a taste.
