Quar: Battle for Gate 18 is a turn-based strategic VR experience set in the grimmsical world of Alwyd!
It seems the Quar have always been at war. When the first wandering clans of insect gatherers built their low, mud-walled buildings, it was as much to keep out other Quar as the wild animals. As they first learned to make tools to get food, they quickly learned to make tools to defend themselves. The mud walls quickly became fortified citadels, and then city-states. In five thousand years of civilization, the constants of their culture have been the changing of the seasons and the threat of war.
For the last 700 years the Quar have been waging The Long War to a bloody stalemate that has wracked their world. But the balance of power is shifting and Alykinder’s Crusade is attempting to end The Long War by conquering all the Quar nations. This game takes you to one battle in one theater of The Long War: the Battle for Gate 18 between the Crusader Army and the Royalist Coftyran Crymuster.
Command cavalry to sweep the enemy's flanks. Send Baeliog armored tractors forward to shatter hardened defenses. Your rhyflers are armed with weapons ranging from the humble Bogen rifle to heavy-automatic shotguns. Rely on your stalwart officers to keep up your troop's morale and to call in deadly airstrikes. But above all, preserve the honor of your cause as you wage the Battle for Gate 18!

I need more quar games
It suffers a bit from Old VR game things... like having ZERO settings for changing controls or comfort, just audio and graphics. So you wont be getting any fancy move with the joystick, or what not... Just old fashioned Point and teleport.
Although, with all the comfort features in this game, I actually found that this was the first VR game to make me motion sick (this was from staring up at the planes in the air, and trying to track them with my head, then another time when i was turning a bit too much), after logging nearly 1000 hours in various VR games, so there must be an award for that?
You also cannot turn in game, which is a huge issue for me personally, since my playspace is long, not wide. So facing one direction, and using the ingame turn options is usually my go-to (I suppose that is why this game makes me motion sick aswell). So, i find myself getting lost in real space more often than any other game.
The gameplay is straight foreward and fun, there's really no complaints on it, the characters and animations are well done, and I couldnt ask for much more.
Its a good game, if not simple very dated for a VR game, not really worth $20+? More so $10, but that's my personal opinion.
Check out the Zombiesmith website, for more Quar related things.
Real time strategy game in VR from 2016, seems not outdated and runs perfectly in 2023. I liked the welcoming area, a military base where all the cute soldiers prepare for the battle and rest. It was funny to teleport towards each groups's side real size and watch their activities.
But, I found its turn based style boring. I wish the gameplay should have been like 'Final Assault VR'.
Damn really kind of fun / relaxing. Loving it !!!
Never even heard of it and seen it on a web page, and reviews and stuff was right on.
Thanks devs for something fun in VR
Truly Awesome! I just wished they would come out with a sequel or paid DLC's so we could continue. Perhaps create an endless mode with increasing difficulty until we lose. I enjoyed every hour in this game and will replay.
It's a nice strategy game, but the VR adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay. Initially it's kind of cool to see a strategy game in VR, but the novelty wears off quick and you're just left with a 2D strategy game that is uncomfortable and awkward to play.
Classical turn-based strategy game on a hex board. Select from a set of forces, place them, fight (different goals), collect vicotry points and upgrade.
Positive:
+ graphics
+ overall gameplay
+ plot/universe
+ works well in VR
Negative:
- controls to move your position are not the best
A proper turn-based strategy VR game that isn't experimental or early access.
Interesting world but be warned the game is very slow.

I feel that Quar: Battle for Gate 18 is underrated. This is one of the first games to implement RTS mechanics, and it does that well. I really like that you can scale yourself down so that it feels like you're there.
Great fun. At first I mistook it for a 3D version of a 2D strategy game, and it seemed slow and cumbersome. Then I realized it was actually a sped up version of a tabletop miniatures game, and it was great. You can play a tabletop battle against the computer, and it is much faster than the physical version. Plus you can get down to eye level with your troops, and see some great animations. Highly recommended if you like miniatures war games. But don't mistake it for a 3D version of a 2D strategy map game.
As someone who loves turn-based strategy games, I am so happy to have found this game! This is the best TBS game for VR right now. I believe it sets the bar for many features that a TBS VR game should have: the ability to raise the floor so you're not straining your neck looking down all the time, the ability to switch between being a giant and shrinking down to see everything to scale, and a good teleportation function.
The game's graphics are very good and the gameplay is fun. I also really like the music. If you enjoy turn based strategy games I highly recommend buying this game.
This is a great game. If you like turn-based strategy and virtual reality, this one is for you. Great value and lots of fun. A few small bugs here and there but overall a polished and professional experience! I can't wait to see more games like this.
I never spent much time checking out the world in the small, character-sized zoom level because it wasn't really useful, cool though it may be. Sometimes the airplanes messed with me by flying through my head, did not like that at all, hah. Also the unit logic was a bit off sometimes, like how you use a shotgun or a sniper rifle to kill tanks instead of some kind of rocket launcher, but once you get used to it, it's no problem. Haven't played through the whole game yet but I'm around 10 levels in and still having lots of fun. Easily worth what it costs.
I was quite suprised with this game. Like many of you I put off picking it up on steam. Partly because it didn't have a lot of reviews. However, I am very glad I did decide to go ahead and buy it while it was on sale. It really does take me back to playing war with my action figures of old. I have always been a fan of turn based strategy games, and this one does it quite well. There is an actual story here too, although I haven't been playing it long, I can honestly say I am happy with my purchase and I hear this game is around 10 hours long. If you are a fan of turned based strategy do yourself a favor and buy it soon. This game really does need more reviews so the word gets out about this little gem.
If you are a turn based fan that wants a less frantic full game experience in VR, this is a fun game. There's a tutorial and 14 missions all replayable, it has good graphics and solid gameplay. The base has upgrades that increase your units stats, so you have some balancing of what to upgrade first and see how it affects the next mission.
Cool effects like planes buzzing around the battlefield right above you while the units are going through their turn based fight on the ground.
You set up your troops/vehicles in open positions on the field, then start. The turn based is different than I'm used to and it's one turn per side, I move and attack, then they move and attack, until each side uses all of their units, then it starts over. Good concept and works great.
I like the option of being up above the map and looking down, or shrinking down to be at your units height and see from their perspective. Not needed for the gameplay, but a fun way to feel like you're with your troops.
The Store page doesn't do a great job representing this game, but it really is a gem. It reminded me of playing Warhammer and other table top games as a kid. It is spiritually pretty similar to a VR table top version of Civ 5's combat.
The game has way more content then most other VR games out right now, somewhere around 7-10 hours. Also the gameplay is turn based which is refreshing compared to most other VR titles right now whish seem to be wave based or Arcade, both of which feel frantic.
The Art design is a little different, but ultimately works. The fact that it is structured around exagerated WWI concepts helps I think.
The game desperately needs a skirmish mode though, if they added the ability to jump into a randomized battle/map this would be a heavy weight title.
Wonderful game, well worth the money. If you like turn based strategy this is definitely worth getting as this is one of the few games that has enough content to keep you busy for 10+ hours. I wouldn't say that there is a lot of replayability, but if they were to add a new expansion with the same number of missions for $8-10 I would definitely go for it. I would suggest some larger maps with more scenarios, but I expect that there were system limitations that made that difficult.
Nice slower pace VR game. For me, it could do with being a little bit harder - I basically played through all the battles, only having tor try one once (and crashed half way through one). There are more battles than I first though, and they do slowly get more complex, but not really much of a challenge yet. I'm three hours in so far and it feels that once I'm done there won't be much reason to go back and re-play the battles.
Can´t recommend the game anymore. Main reason is that there is no further content following. At the beginning there were plans for additional skirmish and multiplayer mode. With that the game would be awesome. Now you get for the money a <~10 hour experience. It´s only one campaign and after finishing it there is not much reason to play it again. It´s still a nice game but after the campaign you want more and there is nothing more to do. A skirsmish mode would be so great, it´s sad that they don´t want to develop it anymore. I think the game is very unique + the concept very good and it would get a lot of positiv attention and a growing playerbase with more game-modes. Can´t imagine that it´s not worth to take the already created nice content and make a skirmish mode out of it. But I´m no game developer/publisher and we will never know.
Old Review: I can highly recommend this game, it´s great and makes a lot of fun. It´s really cool to change the position and take a look on the battlefield in different angels. The zoom-in-function and the fighting animation are working very good and are impressive. I didn´t used it enough because I was too much focused on the next turn, I will change that behaviour in the future. ;-) No bugs or problems in the 10 hours of gaming through the campain. Also no frame problems, I didn´t tracked it but I had no problems at any time and I have a R9 290, an i5-3350P and 8 GB ram.
I´m waiting already for the skirmish mode, that will be implented next and then multiplayer is coming!!! :-) I already see myself playing this game for a lot of hours, having a really good time alone and with other players. If it´s not a lot more work a 2 vs 2 players mode on a huge map would be sooo awesome. And/or a point system for multiplayer mode where you get higher ranks, medals or such stuff. Always good to see a result of gaming, that´s at the moment really nice in form of upgrading your buildings to increase the abilities of your different troops. But I have no idea how much work this it. I will be already happy when skirmish is coming and than the multiplayer. ;-)
The price is really cheap for this beautiful and good game. If you compare it with the prices and content of other VR games it´s nearly for free. ;-)
Highly recommended, hope to see you on the battlefield in a hopefully not to late future. :-) I`m a big fan already. Thanks a lot to the devs for the great work (if you need a beta-tester for the new modes feel free to contect me ;-) ).
If you are a Vive owner and in any way interested in turn-based strategy, war-gaming, miniature gaming or similar genres, this is a must-buy VR-game and is well worth your time and money. It's a fun and unique experience and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. While many of the early Vive titles have been dismissed as tech demos or half-baked, Quar stands out as a fully fleshed out title well worth its asking price and one that I hope is the start of new and exciting way to experience strategy games.
This is the first strategy game for room-scale VR with tracked controllers. I finished this game and there is a lot of content, a good number of well designed levels. I can very highly reccomend this game. The experience is very good fan (kind of addictive). The overall experience is very comfortable: no nausea whatsoever. The art/graphic design/animations are very nicely done, with a very good variety of characters nicley animated in a good looking and very varied environment. You can teleport and also change size to enjoy both a strategic overview in "giant mode", and also become as small as your soldiers to see the action close in front of you. The gameplay is actical, turn-based battles against in a story-driven campaign. You can upgrade your units.
The negatives:
On the negative side there a few bugs. Very, very few bugs as it ia a robust game, but I have mention one bug because it can be a bit annoying: occasionaly, you cannot click to finish your turn and so the game is stuck. Because you cannot save in the middle of a battle, you cannot undo, and because battles can last a very long time, you can see where the occasional frustration comes from. But, I have to add, it is a rare bug: maybe once every 6 hours of play.
There are a few "quick wins" that the developer hasn't added yet to the game, and I hope will be added soon: multiplayer, and a choice of difficulty levels: as it stands, each level is fairly easy to pass at the first attempt.
Incredibly fun and engaging VR experience and game. I think what sells it is that it feels like a tabletop war game but more interactive. Plus you can zoom into the battlefield and get down to the soldiers perspective. Really well laid out campaign that builds up nicely not trying to overwhelm you so you can get used to the controls and unit types. This is one of the types of games I hoped we'd be seeing in VR, just didn't expect this well polished of a game at this point and honestly at a great price.
I went into this game a bit leary with reading it had potential for frame rate drop. I did experience this same drop however I did some analyzing and noticed my CPU wasn't maxed but was pretty high up there. I closed everything except Steam and this app and it ran perfect. I even tested jumping up and down and basically sitting on the floor trying to hide from the lighthouses to see if I could get anything weird to happen again. Nope ran great. I'm running a 980Ti stock with a 4th gen i5 so I imagine a newer i5 or even i7 would be more than fine, this game isn't very graphics intense as my 980Ti was barely putting any effort out, it's all CPU here so you know.
Update: A recent all around Windows 10 and NVIDIA updates this thing runs amazing now even when I forget to shut down other apps.
Quar is a great example of the beginning of strategy games for VR. The art and graphics and great even if the title sounds weird. Getting to move around the battlefield and scale yourself down to the size of the soldiers really makes the case for this being a VR game. The number of units and complexity of the actual battles doesn't live up to modern strategy games, but the ability to be in the world makes up for that. I can see this as a stepping stone to even more compelling VR strategy games and I'm happy to support the developers taking a chance in this early wild west of VR.
