PowersVR

I know this game is almost completely dead but i'm still gonna write a review, that being that it's okay but the choice to make like half of the characters locked behind minigames that don't even give you the characters in my testing is just beyond stupid. the older versions were better and i wish they had kept it so most of the characters could be found by just searching, and the ones that were locked behind minigames it actually told you what superhero you'd get and what score you need. 3/10 game, do not buy.

This is a bad game made by a bad person. Its an obvious cash grab. AVOID

Not much to it but I didn't get it for myself I got it for a younger child and he has a blast with the powers and simple enemies.

the game is very lackluster and you start out with having to slowly move around a huge city to find a specific beam of light, which there is many to begin with so that means you have to hunt for this beam of light for almost 20 minutes unless you know specifically from watching someone play this game.

Does not work with WMR controllers, very disappointing and refunded immediately.

iv had a good time in this game it has some cool powers i mean i could be better but its good tho. my favorite hero is zoom its a cool game only for 10 bucks

Want to be a superhero in a beautiful, but completely empty city where there is nothing to do at all? THis game is for you.

Honestly, what were the devs thinking?!?!? Superheroes need challenges, people to save. Otherwise what's the point?

So I don't know what the people leaving positive reviews are doing, but don't listen to them, this is not a 10/10 game, it's not exciting, and the graphics suck. I was bored after about a solid 10 minutes of playing. The "enemies." You can fight are limited to only one type and are only in a single part of the map. Speaking of the map, it looks like the devs got a template of a city done and just stopped. There are no details, it's really small with little to no reason to explore it. I absolutely do not suggest you buy this game, I looked at a couple other super power simulator vr games and they were far better than this.

Garbage controls and misaligned and misrotated hands with Valve Index controllers. No locomotion, no smooth turning. Refunded after just a few minutes.

It´s not what I expected for several reasons: There aren´t clear objectives, it doesn´t has a left-right turn option on the controller and it seems the game is half done (loading times are ugly, options menu don´t work, you can get blocked inside or on top of buildings, etc). It gave me the impression that the game is not ended

So i bought this game and it would seem that there is no updates for it and others no way of information. I count the game as dead.

Edit- So i now find out that the game leaves early access with a small revamp and all promised features are dumped.

Pretty simple game at its current state but my Son loves it. I would recommend this for kids no question. I played around with it for a little bit but still a bit lacking for my tastes. Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses as we are really limited in the Super hero type games in VR so far.

This game was designed specifically to fulfill your childhood (and current) dream to become a super hero. I love it so much. There's definitely improvements and additions to be made but the developer is working on those. Things like character challenges and a story based compaign, but for right now, the powers and world that are in there are just awesome. I can equipe the flight power and fly around shooting enemies with my laser vision, fireballs I summon from my hands, or with my mini-gun hand. It's so amazing and the developer has quite his full-time job in order to fully focus on the game.

5/5 Dreams have come true.

Like everyone else has said, right now its just a proof of concept more than anything else. But also like everyone else has said, I see a lot of potential in this game, and I really like what I've heard about the developer of this game. He recently quit his day job to work on this full-time. That's what I like to hear when it comes to indie game developers. He knows it's a big financial risk, but he's taking it anyway to work on something he's clearly passionate about. That shows great dedication. This is early access done right. It's so often abused nowadays, but this is what it's really for. Buying a game early so that the developer can afford to keep working on it and improve it.


And if the developer decides to read this, I've got a lot of ideas for things to add in future updates:

Superpowers:

Super Strength (kind of a given)

More elemental powers, like ice, water, earth, lightning, etc.

Acid powers

X-Ray vision

Telekinesis (just point at an object to highlight it, and hold the trigger to move it around. Pretty simple)

Technomancy: Make robots fight each other! Or make cars drive on their own. Maybe have them crash into robots.

Size-Changing abilities: Become as big as a building to crush enemies, or as small as an ant to access secret areas and hidden paths

Other stuff:

A story-based reason for the player's abilities: Maybe make it so that the player is a superhero with the ability to channel the powers of other super-people?

Civilians: Civilians will naturally run from a fight. However, if one dies anyway, it lowers your score.

Make flight faster (while you may think this would render super speed obsolete, I think the two are different enough for it to work)

Combo powers: Using certain powers together creates something even better (maybe this is how faster flight can work? Have flight on one hand and speed on the other)

Have robots explode if you run into them with super speed

Have the lazer eyes come from closer inward. Right now it feels like the lazers are coming from my temples. Maybe have your vision go red when using the power, as well. Kind of like in King Kaiju. Now that I think about it, this game and its developer remind me a lot of King Kaiju. Maybe you two could collaborate on something?


Have the power wheel mapped to the menu button, not the trackpad: I feel like this would feel more natural, and allow for the player to switch between attacks using the trackpad, as opposed to the grip buttons. You could still have a small game menu float above the power wheel when you press the menu button.

I'm keeping this game not because of what it is now but what I feel like it could become. Current state it's a tech demo. the ai is a joke the powers are fun but there are no real objectives outside of collecting the 8 powers. You have a fast runner, (to me this should be combined with the teleporter click a teleport spot and super speed run there.) the teleport guy the flyer and the shield. then the other hand you have flame shot, some hexing attack which increases damage enemies take, laser eyes and a minigun. they all work fine.

The runner seems about the most useless of the powers. kinda fun but can't jump so any object is a problem and not being able to turn your head while your running without changing direction is an issue.

I would love to see heros and villians. A telekinetic power would be amazing.

Absolutely brilliant! This is what i wanted when i first brought the vive last year. A game where i am the super hero, i can fly around and blast things from the sky. Im very hyped for this game and im really looking forward to what the future may bring!

The game may be just a prototype, but the machanics are there.
And oh are they fun to use!
You can combine a locomotion and weapon power together to create your own style.
The ones I liked to use were the flying and lasersigh, but also the speedster and minigun.

It makes you really feel powerful!
Now they just have to develop a story and game around the mechanics and you will have a solid game!

It is worth its price, especially if you like to demo your VR headset.



Some feedback to the dev: Please let the speedster run on walls and maybe add superstrength which can demolish buildings and throw cars.

Really fun game with great potential! I really enjoyed the flying and the fireball. I also like the art of the game! Great job! I am looking forward for the story mode.

Super cool game so far. It shows a ton of promise and versatility. Obviously this developer knows what they are doing. Would love to see more of a story, concept, and gameplay elements come out. But the initial powers are nice. Should definitely have movement/locomotion from the get go, with teleportation as a power. I feel like this is a must now in new VR games.

Fun and great potential, few suggestions would be that teleport needs something to feel special, animation or effect to make it feel cool, flying need to be a lot faster, i love flying but this one is just to slow, super speed direction should be changed from where you are facing, as its hard to control, other wise im super excited to see what the devs do

This review was written on the day this game was released.

This game has me pretty excited, it currently has a lot of potential, especially for how low the price is. I've been wanting a cool superhero game to play in VR and with a little bit of work this could be great. The comic book visual style was a nice design choice and the power animations look awesome for the most part. I enjoy most of the 8 powers currently in the game, though they could use some polishing. The game is pretty bare-bones on the gameplay side at the moment, but thats expected for an EA title. Here is some long-winded constructive criticism for the Dev:

General Critques:

• Hand representation in the game seems slightly off. Almost as if your real world hands are gripping the wrists of the avatar hands. Arms feel very long. FIXED :)
  
• Seeing your hands make different gestures for different powers would be a cool touch.
  
• City feels a bit empty with no people/traffic (I'm sure more will be added later)
  
[*] Menu button has no function currently.
