Reboant Demo

!!! WARNING!!! SCAM DEVELOPER!!!!
Developer blatantly lied to everyone buying this as a realy access now adding after the fact "demo" to the title. If it was labeled as a demo I wouldn't pay even 1$ because I don't pay for demos! DEMOS ARE FREE! So you lied to us and now you pricing your "early access" as a full game scaming another people? Great for you. Developer should be kicked from steam for such practiess!

You are essentially paying for a Demo here. The developer recently released news that they are releasing REBOANT: Endless Dawn which is the Early Access version of this game. So you have to pay for the Demo then pay again for the early access version of the game. Shady stuff coming from an unknown developer.

Man i cant wait for you guys to release a full version of this. This demo is a definite must to play. The shadows and the shading are top notch.....definitely recommend this one when it gets released......

Changing my review to negative because they are now calling this a demo instead of an early buy in.
Demo's are supposed to be free.

Very nice work ! this demo is short (about 20 mins) but the graphics are very good and for a dollar, you can't go wrong with this !

Just tested Reboant for the first time. It's really early access but you can see the potential of this game, so totally worth the 1 €. Playtime is about 10 minutes for the tutorial mission. Even though it states Vive as VR headset, it works fine with the Oculus Rift. If it wasn't for the unplayable framerate I would definately show this to guests who test my Oculus Rift. Looking forward to future tweaks and updates.

pros:
+ great graphics
+ immersive level/world
+ interesting story
+ gears of war look and feel

cons:
- bad performance - even on low settings and 0.8 resolution scale barely playable on an AMD rx480 (maybe a "very low" present could be integrated?)
- arm angles slightly off with touch controllers of the Rift (not officially supported)
- no free locomotion (teleport works fine though)

The game was working pretty much ok, there were some hiccups when transitioning from the pod to the actual play of the game. It would go back to the steam VR home then eventually go to the game. But i was able to play thru the demo with little issue. After the latest update on Dec 28th whenever i load the game now i see double of everything. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the game but i get the same results. I am using the Samsung HMD for windows. I love the direction this game is going and would be more than happy to purchase the final product when it has completed, but until this issue is be addressed i cannot recommend this game in this state. i would be more than happy to change my recommendation if this can be fixed.

when its works is amazing.. and its only 1$ so its hard for me to leave a bad review, but I am leaving it so the dev will know.
the game crash a lot, my 1h playing this is actually 5 minutes the rest is me trying to get it working.
its seams there is memory leak as its max out my 1080 8gb gpu memory 2 minutes after game start
I even try to under sampling to 0.6 still not helping

my spec is i7-6700k and gtx 1080

This actually had me very excited. The begining was anoying and a bit of a turn off for me. You stat off in whats like an escape pod. There you have a new game optiion and settings... You start the new game.

New game takes place in the same pod, then it goes though a bit of a story opening. I wasnt listening at this time. But then it lands than loads the new scene.

This is where it took off, the actual gameplay! The pod has landed, there are three other pods. The team is in front of you, they have experience with this, you do not. You look around. Fog is in the distance, fires are seen and your team leader starts giving orders then comes over and adresses you. Tells you to get your gun.

The moment your gun is drawn thats when the herd of aliens come in like a wave shooter, everyone is shooting and you quickly learn the ropes when it comes to your gun.

Then the team leaves you to catch up, You go deeper into the fog to activate or deactivate the becons, all while the alien creatures come out of nowhere upon you.

At this point you imagine, if these creatures were bugs it would be like you steped into a scene from StarShip Troopers.

You catch up to the team and you hide and take note of a giant creature in front of you. It is at this time you know this is awesome!

Shortly afterwards the demo is over and you forgot you are not part of an elite squad on an alien planet to kick ass, but you are a overweight kid serviving on piza till your next pay check in an empty apartment room with a vive upon your head. lol

I look forward to this game. Definetly a dimond in the rough.

Superb! not normally a teleport fan, but it works here. Could maybe speed up the glide in telelport a bit as CC for devs. The arm movement is very good, some of the best ive seen with the elbow movement. Graphics are great, but the writing seems a little out of focus, no major issue though. Once i found the sweet spot using left hand to steady the gun hand, and give better LOS down the barrel, it really brings out how nice this game is. I'll witrhout doubt be investing when it reeleases in the new year.

Mixed review score? Say what? This was some excellent, graphically lush VR! It's just a shooter or whatever, and a short experience, but for only a dollar, it's incredibly generous for the amount of work put into this.

I really liked the spin on the teleport locomotion. First, instead of a discreet blink, theres low-gravity or something and it fires off like a grappling hook and you jump there. Like your were on the moon. That's polish right there, and this kind of visual feedback really helps immersion for those who are otherwise bored with telportation. Second, this is made more immersive by coordinating the limiting of its usage with the game itself. Like, in this, you can teleport around an area, but to advance to the next area, you have to deploy some techno gizmo that drops to the ground and does a cool sci-fi scan of the area and then you and your space marine friends can advance.

Looking right now, it appears development is continuing, its not just a early access one-off. I doubt it will become a 2 hour long triple-A space marine romp, but if it does, you can get it now for only a dollar! The ten minutes you get is so dank, it's a no brainer. Anyone who rated this negatively doesn't know spit about VR content. So say I. Not to be confused with the 'Repo Ant', an insect who, having right of ownership of the property in question, takes the property back from the party having right of possession without invoking court proceedings.

I absolutely love the graphics, story, and feel of this game. By far the best VR visual gaming experience I've had on my HTC VIVE. Short... but enough to have me drooling for the full release.

PROBLEM: I got to run through the demo round one time and now it freezes just after the landing, about where you learn to grab the gun off your back. Can't get past it. Hoping you developers are reading this and can point me to the fix. Or alternatively, can I delete and reload to solve the problem? Not going to rate until I figure that out, but other than that, it's going to be a 5 star experience!

Fatal error on start.
didn't even run..
So strange that depelopers sell this demo for 1$..
Go on Kickstarter! You can rise more money to develop a full game there.
Graphics are nice! but sorry.. can't recommend at this stage..

As it stands, without overanalyzing, definitely worth the buck. However it's still not 100% clear what the situation with this "game" actually is:

1. If it is just a demo for a full game coming out next year, than I guess people might feel weird about paying money for a demo.

2. If it's actually early access, first of all, why isn't clearly indicated of the game's store page? And second, it would be a steal at this price.

Other than that, great graphics (other than the lack of ingame supersampling settings) and decent gamplay. As others have mentionned, the arms are a little short, making the ik animations a little weird. Also, the gun is not lined up properly with the controller, but since you can clearly see your gun at all times, it's still easy to adjust for aiming.

This is $0.99. The developer says it will be a full game in 2018, and I really hope they deliver. For your .99 you get about 10minutes worth of gameplay. I played it on the rift and the prompts are for the vive controllers ( was to be expected, it doesn't say the rift is even supported, but it works just fine once you figure out what button to press ). I was really shocked with the graphics, everything looks great ( especially the robotic arm ). It's not the most well optimized experience though, and I did experience a little stutter ( it is a demo though, to be fair ). I have paid more, for full release games, that I enjoyed less. hopefully this will turn into something awesome.

Wow... Just WOW!

This game is going places. The graphincs are triple A and the story is cool as @#$!

I really cant wait to see the full version!

the trigger movent, not a fan... should have been free for how short it was....but if that buck helps you in creating this better ill donate 5, but i see the potential, keep working on it peeps, you are in the right direction i think for a good game.

Edit :: Dev response very fast with my problem so I will update this review after I can play the demo

-------------------------------------------------------

This game has the best graphic among the VR Game so far. I really want to recommended this game, sadly I can't. I face the problem that I cannot start even the first mission.

Pro:
- The graphic is fantastic
- Game has great atmosphere look like Gear of War VR version
- Surprisingly, the audio dialogue is good
- Dev response to the player really fast. I cannot play the demo at first, they answer my question pretty fast and fix the bug just a few days later.

Con:
- The movement still not smooth and a little bit laggy
- As it current stage there is still a few bugs around in the game
- The gun holding system is wierd because its alomost horizontal, if any of you purchase Doom VFR, the way this game hold the gun is the same, like holding the banana.
- Cannot hold the gun with 2 hand makes you feel wierd when shooting a big rifle gun
- No locomotive movement
- Auto reload gun by just click at the magazine is reduce the advantage of VR system. Dev should try to play Onward, BAM or Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades as a reference.


Game has a potential but Dev still has many things to improve before it can be a great game. So I still cannot recommend this game in the current stage.

This is a difficult one, because

- they charge you 99 cents for a demo that is 5 minutes long with no clear information on the store page
- the version info is in the middle of the screen and distracts you from the game
- weapon handling does not feel good - very early access
- yeah, very bad teleportation system
- performance not very smooth

on the good side:

- graphics and presentation are nice and I like that this could be a real game
- huge monsters
- feels like a Gears of War VR
- it is promising

Having said this, I cannot recommend to buy this product for 99 cents at the moment, since there is no clear value more than a 5 minute demo whihch should be free or go for kickstarter.

When the game comes out this might be different. But until then there is a lot of work to be done. Just be patient and look out for the final product.

Very impressive and a lot of fun. Thanks for being upfront with the length of the game. Great graphics!

Edit: The Dev got back saying that this is indeed early access.


Original Review.
I felt like a starcraft space marine fighting in the gears of war world.

The Good.
Visually stunning.
A fun movement mechanic that encourages on the fly firing.
Strangely decent voice acting.
Left me wanting more.

The Bad.
This is a demo... It's about 8-15 minutes depending on if you just rush through the objectives or explore a little.
About a third of that are cutscenes where you have no control.
While the game is beautiul, there is fog everywhere, obscuring anything more than about 100 feet from your character.

The Ugly.
This demo costs 99 cents... not a bank breaker, but the end throws up a banner saying the game will release early 2018, meaning that this is either a promo demo... that you have to buy. Or, as I am hoping, but probably isn't, basically an early access launch, where if you jump now, you get the full thing when it releases.
If your arms are longer (as mine are) or shorter than that of the character, you can expect some very strange interactions.
Many times I would reach for something, only to find that while I could reach it no problem, the characters hand stopped about 6 inches before mine.

This is one of those games where I wish there were yes or no conditional options in steams recommendations.
