RUMBLE

great game 10/10, the community is very friendly and the game play is fun.

one of the most engaging VR experiences out there

and if you think the moves aren't registering, then fix your form lol ie get good

the best VR game to get, its a sport you'll learn like any other, fantastic community too

Game is good it would be better if you could get it on the oculus store but I the main problem is there aren’t many players making it really hard to rank up also it might be my pc but the lag can get really bad overall it’s really fun but it has some really big issues

This is the best VR game and one of the best fighting games if you buy it rember these three things
1 no the game isnt broken you just did the poeses wrong
2 by kind to your fellow players there arnt alot of us so dont make any enemies because you might find no one wants to play when your on
3 this is a game so have fun itts all about phsical activity and everyone is putting in the work dont be a jerk

usually i wouldn't say a lot about a game but this one is really cool so i'll give you some tips as a player so the game uses physical movements as the summons/attack moves so i recommend you practice the moves that you have and make sure to memorize the stance it is essential to bending rocks at lest if you don't wanna look like you're flailing your arms although some moves you need to flail for like flick it's completely dependent on both hand positions, anyway its a fun game and i honestly can't get enough of it and i hope you enjoy it too

most rewarding gameplay loop ive ever experiened it is a must play for any vr player

GREAT GAME BUUUUT.....

This game is super fun and works well, and it also has an intense learning curve (a very positive thing). However, it just lacks a lot of players.
To level up you need to play matches with people and it is just hard to find a match. Other than that, learning this game and trying to master it is very entertaining and when you actually do have a match, you feel like you're in an anime.

All in all I for sure recommend it

this game is amazing dont give up. However the trailer is outdated

This game is incredible! It's a bit of a commitment, it's hard to get into, and harder to master, but it's worth it! The community is really epic and the Discord servers are a really good resource for improving and meeting people! The game will hopefully be coming to standalone headsets by the end of the year, and until then the player base and matchmaking will be a struggle, but again, the Discord helps with that! If you're thinking of getting into this game, for the good of yourself, and the community, and the WORLD, please get it!

This is the best VR and a contender for best game period I have ever played. It’s remarkably rewarding, but it’s also very difficult. The skill ceiling is high, but rumblers always fly higher. The community is the greatest of any online community I have ever been a part of. The Shoeless Dojo is full of people just itching to help more people get into the game, and if you’re considering it now is the best time to start. I wish I could stick to one topic to gush about, but everything about the game is everything I could hope for in a game like this. Please buy Rumble. Please.

this game is very addicting, and the mechanics can be very fun once you learn them

this game is single handily one of the best vr fighting games of all time doing poses to atack some one is so fun and id recomend this to anyone who is looking for a fighting game my only issue is the fact that the player base is small but they cant control that

great game fun and interactive
only downside is lack of players so as a result long queue times

prev I stopped cause of the lack of players but now no issues with the playerbase, TO PEOPLE THINKING OF GETTING THE GAME (which you should be if you dont have it already and have a VR): Its not the games fault when you spam a move and nothing happens check the rotation of wrists, hand positioning etc it is difficult at first but the initial grind is worth it.

The game is very good, once you get past the tutorial, the combat matches are good. And you will play for hours!

This game is so addicting it’s awesome! Although it might be difficult for some to get down, once you see someone flying at you at top speed, it drives you to get to that level. At it did for me

I really, really, really want to like Rumble. But as is it's just too inaccessible. What's there is great (moves feel fluid and congruent for combos, community is extremely friendly) but its has a few glaring problems:

1. The game simply isn't fun until you've spent a shit ton of time on it. 15 hours in I have the black belt and still mostly end up flailing around. I tried to get some friends into Rumble too and they had the same experience. I understand the dev wants learning Rumble to feel like a discipline (especially given it's obviously inspired by ATLA) but the skill curve of Ruble is just waaaay too much for me too enjoy, and I feel that in it's current state, Rumble is too unpleasant and difficult to new players for it to properly grow and retain a large player base (which would also get rid of the problem of how small the player base is and the fact the queue times can be a pain)

2. Getting started/unlocking the moves is agonizing. Because of the small player base, you usually have to match up against people of a higher rank than you, meaning not only are they much better, but they have all the moves unlocked. It is absolutely miserable as a new player having to slog through matches where you get wiped by better players who have a fundamental advantage just so you can fully play the game.

3. Bad connection really hurts a precision-based multiplayer game. It's an interesting choice to make a game that demands this much precision from the players then make it peer-to-peer connection, meaning that your extremely precise moves are going through not-so-great connection most of the time. No flack given for making Rumble peer-to-peer (servers are expensive ash) but the point still stands.

4. Sloooooow devs. Huge amounts of time are put between updates of middling change. It took nearly a year for a customization system to be added (which again, is interesting priorities for a game that desperately needed to be on independent vr systems). For a full-price game in early access I'm quite disappointed with the speed of development.

If Rumble wants to make it big, it needs to be made waaaay more forgiving. You'll notice half of the positive reviews don't have more than 15 hours, and it's for a good reason. Good concept, good execution, good community, skill floor is too high to retain a playerbase.

Thinking of buying the game? Go watch shoeless's youtube video series on the game and youll find what this game truly holds. Fun for casuals and competitors. Quest update is coming later this year for standalone devices which will be huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumble is innovative af. A combat system that relies on body movements and gestures rather than button presses is cool but to really grow it needs more modes and maby some singleplayer stuff. For now i would recommend the devs just more ai i can fight against or fight ai with other players.

A difficult game with the highest skill ceiling I've ever seen, and its still rising.

Small but brilliant community, I'd recommend you to join a discord and ask for help when you start playing.

really fun and rewarding game. definitely recommend you get this with a friend/sparring partner, preferably one who is also new to the game so you can really go ham on each other.

i wanna say its fun but it feels so finicky to do any of the moves and yes i did learn them.. eventually but either way it shouldn't be infuriating just to learn the basic moves so if the toned down the precision it would be an absolute blast to play

Can't recommend it, there are no updates, but also no players.
Great game but, don't buy it.

Earth bending martial arts in VR? Sign me up!
This is the only game I know of that can take emergent gameplay and make a good fighting game with it as a core mechanic.
If you start and feel stuck, I recommend joining the official Discord for help, players will be happy to help you!

i love the combat it is difficult but its very fun im not good at describing

Difficult game to get into, but amazing friendly community and LOTS to learn. If you enjoy the feedback loop of a constantly refining your strategies and developing your own style through mechanically difficult mind games and strategy, you'll love this game once you see what it can be. Don't expect instant matchmaking though.

This is a great vr earth bending game, probably THE best. it does cost money, BUT it's EXTREMELY worth the cost. also if you are having trouble, consider joining the shoeless discord server.

This game is not like any other out there, "anything you learn in other games you don't need here."I think that was quoted by shoeless. It is all gestures, no buttons, no external tech, just perfect gestures. If something is wrong, you are the problem.

don't like the game AT ALL i tried the earth bending and all that but as soon as i tried to go fight the robot guy it would not fire or create any pillars and i did it exactly it got to the point were i could quick fire but as soon as i stepped inside the arena i couldn't do anything and btw terrible running if your gonna make a running system like that then make it like the one from blade and sorcery at least

Great game with a bunch of cool features to learn and improve on.

If you are using an oculus quest, the moves are 10X harder to do. If your hands are an inch away from the correct placement then the move won't go through. On the quest the controllers are kind of bad at tracking, especially if you are laggy, so you can't consistently do the moves.

This game is so hard but SO FUN! YES/10

Despite the new currency and actual reason to play the game, the veterans are just not fun to go against. I don't play this game 24/7 unlike them, and every match is just met with airbenders rather than earthbenders.

Not to mention the awful player-dependant latency that you need to gamble for if you want your moves to actually register.

Other than that, the gameplay and moves themselves are stunningly good, and very engaging. But it all kind of goes down the drain when you go against the veterans.

Hard to get better if the game won't allow it.

easy to learn hard to master
acually no just hard
very fun but high skill floor so you will have to practice

YOU HAVE GOT TO MAKE THIS GAME STABLE AND CONSISTENT! ALL MY POSES WORK PERFECTLY ONE GAME AND RARELY THE NEXT, INDEPENDENT OF HOST/CLIENT BULLSHIT. FIX THE GAME! ADOPT A NEW PARADIGM FOR SETTING UP MATCHES.

Rumble is the very pinnacle of what VR fighting games can be. At the start, you're just a measly martial artist, but as you play more, you'll find yourself unlocking more and more abilities, until you can literally bend space and time. This is where the actual game begins: black belt. You've got the full base moveset, now you have to learn how to combine all of the moves in your moveset. Creativity keeps every battle fresh, so you better get creative. You'll go from tossing discs speedily to slinging boulders at mach 6, sprinting around the arena to flying on top of several cubes at once, simple head-on battles to full on trickery and guerrilla warfare. Only boundary? the 20 bucks in your back pocket and a whole lotta inspiration.

Truly a unique VR game, probably my favorite ever.

Can be frustrating at first, but when you get the moves right it feels so satisfying to play. Highly recommend!

Don't get me wrong, this is cool as hell to watch someone who's a master at this play it. But holy F*** is it hard to learn. You miss a move by an *INCH* and it won't work.

Overall?
9/10 to watch
3/10 to play.

I'm currently addicted to this game. It's definitely not easy to learn, but once you do, it is the best feeling ever. my only complaint is that there aren't many people at the moment, but hopefully when it is out of beta it'll be more popular.

great game for vr users and is being improved by devs

Crashes steamvr on opening, then itself crashes upon reopening steamvr

Please make all moves accessable when you get the game .Other than that its a good game.

I'm really intrigued by this game's premise...but man I can only seem to perform the combos correctly maybe 10% of the time.

I'm sure it's a skill issue, but how long am I supposed to practice moves before I can reliably perform them at least 50% of the time? It feels like the tolerance for the movements is way to tight.

this game is great i love the fighting style . if your on quest 2 i would not worry just lower the settings and it will run great.

one of the funnest games i have played and the community is so nice legit mid round some guy gave me tips on what im doing wrong

I got this game when it came out and played it for a little while, then got bored. Back then there was only a handful of actually 'good' players, so you were almost always fighting someone around your skill level, which was perfect.

I replayed it today after years of leaving it and of course I had completely forgotten most of what I learned, not much of an issue I will just go into multiplayer to re-learn it all...

The problem is that there is pretty much no skill-based matchmaking, you just get paired up with whoever since there are so few players. This presents a HUGE issue because you will often go up against someone 10 or even 50 times better at the game than you. You will stand NO chance against them, and you learn nothing for it since they - no joke - beat you in a matter of seconds.

I ran into someone today that just made me quit right after. Match starts, he zips towards me faster than I have seen anyone move in the game and does some Naruto Earth-Style Jutsu type beat to fling rocks and discs and walls and pillars at me, and in 5-10 seconds, the fight was over. I could not even get ONE move off before I was beaten. It was a horrible experience, and it made me realize that this game is just not worth it get in to as a new or inexperienced player.

Also, the casting style is still extremely restrictive like it was back when I first played. You need to do the EXACT hand gestures to pull something off, and sometimes you will just be doing the same gesture over and over until you finally get it right.
If you have limited or slow arm mobility like I do, it is difficult to do many of the moves.

Bottom line is: It's a fun game if you have someone to play with at your skill level and get better with, otherwise it's a horrendous experience that makes you want to stop playing.

The community is great in this game, after practicing for an hour or so total singleplayer I played a couple online matches, there was one guy I played with, very high level, and taught me a lot of strategy through just hand gestures.
The gameplay is very rewarding if you can actually hit the moves right, it requires a lot of patience and practice to learn them correctly, move your hand 10 degrees out of where its supposed to be and the whole move doesn't work anymore, so the learning curve is very very steep.
Honestly the only annoying one about that rule is just running, walking is so slow especially in the practice/singleplayer area and I remember being very frustrated I was so low because running was so inconsistent. (and thats like most of the early game)

DEVS, YOU WOULD MAKE SO MUCH MONEY IF YOU JUST RELEASED THIS ON STANDALONE.
I would probably even buy this game twice because setting up my pcvr is a pain.

In conclusion/TL;DR:
Game is worth the $20, community is great, even if the game is frustrating.

The game is fun to play but the if you do a movement thats exact to the one for a sstone it comes up 5 seconds later and i'm allready dead, and somtimes it doesn't even come up!!!! (don't buy it almost trew my headset out of the window)

Great game, great community, great workout, small dev team. Come see what its all about and eat rocks.
