Your story begins in the picturesque Mervil countryside with your good friend "Merlyn the Blue". Merlyn is an ancient wizard of the time and foresee's the resurrection of a great enemy. He fears it is the return of the Dark Lord, “Balazar”.
Armed with a few coins and a great Mervil sword, you embark on your journey. Throughout the five vibrant worlds you meet Mervils, Wizards, and ghosts of the past that tell stories of the power found within The Great Mervil Book.
Only a fool-hardy Mervil would set-out on such a forsaken quest to defeat"Balazar the Evil". Will you be cunning enough to find the pages of the Great Mervil Book and have the power to stop Balazar's imminent attack? The task will not be an easy one! The pages are scattered in the darkest depths of the Mervil Kingdom and "Balazar's" enemies are on the hunt. It's up to you, the bravest hero in all the lands to rebind the pages of The Great Mervil Book and save the Kingdom from "Balazar's" destruction!
Features
- Upgrade your armor! Your adventurer begins the journey with a simple sword, no armor, and merely a few coins, but the Mervil Armory is filled with helmets, bracers, pauldrons, axes, and swords to help defeat your enemies!
- Learn the stories of old. The Mervil Kingdom has been in existence for thousands of years and the local villagers know the lay of land better than any other. Their stories and quests will light the way through the darkest corners of the Mervil worlds.
- Catapults, Ballistas, and Cannons! Your sword is not the only weapon in the lands, find hidden catapults and ballistas to destroy Balazar's enemies and seek out cannons to fly high through the Mervil skies!
- Travel by Rail, Ice, and Sea! Balazar's attack is imminent and you'll need to find quicker ways to travel across the lands. Along the way you will find a Mine Cart, a Sleigh at the top of an icy tundra, and a Pirate Ship in Crystal Bay. Be wary though, travelling at great speed comes with great consequences!
- Put your mind to the test, literally! Throughout your journey you will find puzzles designed specially for VR, use your mind to unlock hidden treasure, to navigate through complex labyrinths and even to balance on a tight rope thousands of feet in the air!
- Relax in the Mervil Countryside. Your quest is not all battles and puzzles, take your time and talk to the local fishermen, roast marshmallows late at night by the fire, and take in the waves along the coast of Paradise Cove.
- Enjoy a jolly Celtic melody throughout. Mervils love their music and you'll find each village playing their own Celtic tune as you progress through the worlds!
- The game can be played "Roomscale" with Motion controllers or "sitting/standing" with a gamepad on the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift.

Mervils is generic fantasy fare, but still fun. You control an adventurer going through various worlds collecting coins, solving puzzles, and attacking enemies. The game is over 5 years old at this point, so the textures are not as advanced as newer titles, but the game still looks great. Most of the levels are open world, meaning you can explore where you want. There is plenty of platforming and jumping, which may be difficult for those without VR and platforming experience.
There were a few issues playing with Quest 2 regarding controls. There is no way to rebind keys. I could not figure out how to use the "waypoint" system, which wasn't necessary to finish the game anyway. Also, a few levels put you in a minecart or sled and ask you to jump or avoid obstacles, and this was very difficult on Quest 2 since you have to click and move the joystick at the same time.
If you are on a budget and new to VR, I'd suggest Moss or Lucky's Tale VR first. I recommend this game to those who love platformers and medieval fantasy settings, and want more in that genre.
If you're a fan of platformers and good with controller games like Spyro, you'll probably really enjoy this game.
If you're like me, and barely made it through Moss because you had difficulty making a jump because of an awkward viewing angle, you may get frustrated with this one. I was really into this game all through the beginning levels, but as the jumps started getting trickier, I had problems getting a vantage point that was comfortable for me, and I kept falling off things (or missing my landing spot completely). After an hour and a half, I was frustrated enough that I had to put it down. I'm sure I'll go back to it eventually.
The characters that you encounter are entertaining. Combat was simple (which I actually liked), and the maps were pretty cool. I enjoyed exploring and hunting the coins/chests/pages.
If you're a pro at platformers, you may not get as frustrated as I did with some of the places you have to navigate.
All in all, it's definitely enjoyable and fun.
Play style is different, different is by no means bad but it's insanely clunky and hard to see what you're doing. I love the idea of this game and playing it in third person, but it's just not well done for third person.
Can't get pass level 11 due to cannonballs not reaching the enemy ships.
Played on valve index and xbox controller.
Also the game doesn't support valve index controller.
Very minimal use of VR. The only two VR aspects of this game are looking around (with some sight-based aiming) and taking input from the VR controller (but not interacting with the environment at all with them, just using buttons). And you'll have a better time if you don't use the VR controllers, and use a gamepad instead.
Also, everything about this game feels unpolished. The voice talent, the graphics, the plot, the stock photo of Balazar for every exposition segment.
This game is a no for me based on how the character controls - jumping and moving feel weightless. Enemy combat is also very simple as you run in, swing your sword, then run away -it feels tedious. Finally, although the game does a good job and mixing up what you have to do (shooting yourself out of cannons, dk carts, unique puzzles), I found a lot of the experiences to be poorly executed.
Play luckys tale instead!
For those of you who just want a reason to buy it, here are the pros.
Things the game does well:
+strongly themed worlds
+Long experience
+hidden collectibles
+Diversified gameplay (donkey Kong karts, blast your self out of a cannon, puzzling, platforming, combat)
I was looking for something to sit down and play on a Monday night on my Rift. Something lighthearted to relax with for a little bit instead of running around serving food or being jump scared for the umpteenth time and this was perfect! Cute graphics, interesting storyline, and well worth the $10 I paid for it. Only finished the 1st land so far (and not completely) but so far it's just right. Not too quick, not too long to finish each part. It's a little simplier than the games I am used to, so while it is a good relaxing time passer for me on a night before work, I think younger kids would be able to play and get enjoyment and satisfaction as well. I'd say it's along the lines of Lucky's Tale and I wish people would make more relaxing games for VR like this for when you want to be in VR but not jump around like a fool.
A very well rounded adventure roleplaying game for VR. Probably one of the best atm and possibly unique. If you have a headset I highly recommend checking out the demo. The full game is quite similar.
Wow! Started as a fun little VR platformer, but really surprised how much depth and balance there is to this gem. About 1/2 way through and am enjoying the variety of puzzles and action. Some better voice acting (or positional effects for voices) would improve it a lot, but overall it's a lot more fun than expected.
This game is seriously a jewel among VR games. It fascinated me like no Vive game yet and I played a considerable amount of them. First of all the game's content adds up to roughly 7 hours of gameplay, which is, how you surely know, top notch in today's VR gaming. Given that you can spend a lot of cash on very short VR experiences, the 20 bucks for this one feel like a free giveaway.
You play the game in 3rd Person perspective, meaning you stand in the level, controlling and following around your character. Your character's movements result from your thumb sliding over the controllers round touch button, which feels very smooth and allows precise movements. So you are basically your character's coach behind his shoulder, observing from above, looking where to go next.
The game consists of 4 worlds, each has 3 levels and each has a boss fight. As I jump&ran and adventured my way through them, I couldn't help but get serious Zelda and Mario64 vibes.
What was especially fascinating to me was how the developers brought variation to the game. Every single level tells another unique story. One time you have to help people gather equipment to fight a dragon, another time you are recruiting a pirate crew, then you go solve the puzzles of a mysterious temple or just have a jolly good time sliding down a rapid ice slide.
The fact that every level feels new and has fresh ideas prevents this game from ever getting repetitive and you will wish for more once you have it finished.
As I am a huge fan of boss fights, I was excited to play a VR game with bosses in it. If you like boss fights, you will find some delicacies in here. Keep an eye out for the boss of world 3, which was easily the most intense VR experience I had and, because of standing in the very atmospheric arena myself, one of the most outstanding boss fights I played.
If you enjoy adventures, do yourself a favor and get that game. It is a pioneer in VR adventures and I truly hope, that many future games will take inspiration from it.
If you want to check a few scenes of gameplay I leave you the link to my playthrough of the whole game, where you can check out every level.

Finally a well made non demo/early access game! Very cool and fun so far!... But I seriously got to get back to it now....
*edit*
2 hrs in.... that went fast... well I can say this... Its really great. I have only beat one world and not even completely, with 3 more worlds, character upgrades, etc still left I'm absolutely loving this game.
Seriously this game is worth so much more compared to what developers are selling early access games for! honestly this coming from an indie developer is like a 9.5/10 (only thing being that the voice acting though good could have been a little better *IE the first world Dragon*)
But seriously stop reading reviews!!! You got to get this game! BUY IT!!
Fun vr platformer. You feel compelled gather all the scrolls in the levels. Theres alot of variety in the quests and good times to be had. Just try the demo, I was sold. Super looking forward to the full release.
This is a great game, and a must for the Vive in my opinion. As a platform game lover this game really appeals to me. It reminds me of Mario 64, with some elements of Zelda. The Vive wand support is great, al though I prefer a gamepad. Maybe the voice acting could have been abit better, but I dont expect that of a 10€ game. Well worth the money, and one of my fav games for the Vive.
I have been looking for an entry in third person platformer realm since I got my Vive. For 10 bucks, LOOK NO FURTHER! I played the free demo, and after one level (currently out of 12, but more will be added), I was hooked. The first level was super fun getting used to the controls and enemy fighting mechanics. There is at least 10+ hours of polished gameplay reminiscent of Super Mario 3D World and Zelda elements.
That being said, using the Vive motion controllers for this game will likely cost you more than a few hearts in the form of botched maneuvers -- half the time I feel myself wanting to use my Xbox 360 gamepad, but then they do include some aiming mechanics with the motion controls (firing Ballistas/Catapults), making it a tough decision. Upon using a gamepad, the aim controls are then bound to your headset movement -- UPDATE: I found out in addition to seated gamepad mode, you can do a ROOM-SCALE GAMEPAD MODE, which is one of the best experiences I've had on Vive! I can't wait for this style of play to be adapted into certain other games as well.
After two levels in the first world and the variety they've demonstrated in the mini-quests, I can already tell this is far and away worth the $10, and I would not at all be surprised if the price went up sooner rather than later.
Did you play Mario 64? Or Zelda Ocirina-0-t.
If so you will be on familiar ground in Mervils adventure. Graphics wise, it looks very similar to Lucky's tail, except with better enemy design. Bright primary colors are the word of the day. The gameplay will be familiar to, it's like a simiplified platform game crossed with a simplified action adventure game. The stages are diaromama\your looking down from above style. There's light gear upgrades you can buy (in game money) and fairly simple quests you need to complete to get pages. Pages are what you are collecting, they are hidden all over the levels, somethings questing,sometimes fighting, and some times just getting to a doffocult place will land you pages, which you need to progress and unlock different gear classes.
All in all its a good platformer/adventure game, Maybe not up there with the all time greats, but good enough on its own. It kept my interest better than Luckys Tail did, and I've only beaten 1 world so far
This is my go-to game to play when my legs are tired from playing roomscale games. It is a seated experience platforming game. You control a Mervil in third person (or first person if you can stomach it) and run around killing monsters and collecting pages and coins, and there are also some challenging puzzles.
There are different comfort modes: my favourite is where you have the camera stay in place and you press a button to teleport your camera to your mervil, or if you can stomach it you can have the camera always follow right behind your mervil.
This game doesn't use the motion controllers, so you will need a controller. I play it with the Steam Controller. Also, there are parts where you have to use your head, literally. For example: in one level there's a tightrope where leaning your head also leans your mervil.
While I have more fun in room-scale games where I can use the motion controllers, I can only play those games for a few hours before my legs are too tired and I must sit down. And when I'm sitting down I'd much rather play a seated VR game than a 2D game. And this is my favourite seated VR game right now.
I highly recommend this game because the price is very low for the quality and amount of content in the game, plus it's not even finished so the developer will be adding even more content to the game!
This game is awsome! So much good content for a very reasonable price. A must buy on either the Vive or Rift. Nice art style. Good music. Customisable controls, and overall a very enjoyable world. It even has full voiceacting that gets the job done. Only thing i don't like is the sprites used on some of the trees (moves with your headmovement) but that is a minor complaint. Higly recomended, even if it was 3x the price.
Mervils is a great game with so much to offer for the asking price. The concenpt of the game is to find pages across the different worlds. Along the way there are various puzzles that take advantage of vr. I found it best played in a seated postition. So if your looking for a game that reminds you of games like banjo-kazooie, super mario 64 or crash bandicoot, this it. A must buy!
Pros:
Looks polished (the art style looks great in vr)
Areas vary with different play mechanics (including puzzles, platforming, boss fights and collections)
Sound is great (Music fits each environment, voice acting is fun and is used quite often in quest or just walking near npc's)
Early access, so you know more content will be added. Including 2 more worlds that are currently locked.
Cons:
Camera control can get some getting used to. I found myself with the camera behind a tree or a wall.
Some of the puzzles can be a bit challenging, or at least they were for me and could lead to frustration. Just take a break and come back to it.
Played just about everything on the Vive to date and haven't come across anything quite like Mervils yet. This game would have at least 8+ hours of platforming gameplay and is highly addictive, polished, made in Unity so you know its sharp, and really well put together. Jump on it - Highly recommended.
There are 12 levels (4 majorly different worlds each with 3 levels). This game is incredible.. you have to get on board if you at all liked Mario 64 or Zelda 64. Sure Mervils wont be as amazing at either of those major titles but its the closest there is on VR right now, and thats no slight of the devs of Mervils because they have done such an absolutely brilliant job. Wait till world 2-1... which is where im up to still with plenty to go. Very cool minecart level. This is easily an 8+ hour game with bosses at the end of each world im tipping (there was 1 at the end of World 1). Platformer/collectionist/adventurers.. dont think - get this now.
Alright, so at the time of writing this I've only finished the first world, but I can already tell this will be a fantastic game. I grew up on collect-a-thons, with the likes of Spyro and Banjo, and I have been looking for something to tide me over till Yooka-Laylee next year. Fortunately, Mervils manages to scratch that itch just fine.
If you've never played the genre, basically there are multiple levels full of hidden collectibles and challenges, and the main goal is to get as many collectibles as you can. In the first world, there were tough platforming sections, tricky puzzles, and a few combat minigames, including a great boss at the end of the 3rd level. It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait for the whole game to be available.
There are a few problems I have with the game, however. Firstly, the motion control segments like the tightrope in 1-2 feel bad to control. I'm not saying they should be completely scrapped, just reworked to be a bit more forgiving and fun. Secondly, I wish there was a page for getting 100 or so coins in a level to give completionists more things to do. Speaking of completionists, this is a game genre made for them, and I feel that the game could really benefit from extra stuff to unlock when a world is 100% completed, such as 1 heart runs or time trials.
That is not to discredit the game, however, as even though it is in early access, this is easily worth the $10 admission price, and I can't wait to see where the devs plan to take us in the future.
