About This Game 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!Features Based on the award winning Table Top Game system "This Quar's War" by http://zombiesmith.com Turn-based VR Combat!

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.. Can\u00b4t 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\u00b4s only one campaign and after finishing it there is not much reason to play it again. It\u00b4s 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\u00b4s sad that they don\u00b4t 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\u00b4t imagine that it\u00b4s not worth to take the already created nice content and make a skirmish mode out of it. But I\u00b4m no game developer\/publisher and we will never know. Old Review: I can highly recommend this game, it\u00b4s great and makes a lot of fun. It\u00b4s 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\u00b4t 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\u00b4t tracked it but I had no problems at any time and I have a R9 290, an i5-3350P and 8 GB ram.I\u00b4m 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\u00b4s 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\u00b4s 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\u00b4s 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 ;-) ).. The way that it is turn based has you make hard decisions on how to pick, place and move your troops. A level begins with you placing down the troops which you pick. Then it lets you use one of them, then the opponent gets to use a troop. This goes on until all troops are used once. Then you can use the other troops again. You have a base in which you can upgrade buildings to for example have ''Rhyfhlemen'' get more accuracy. Though its sad that there is no form of skirmish mode.. 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.. This game is flat out Amazing. The graphics and gameplay are spot on. I am loving it and it gives me such hope for the future. Great use of VR without fear of sickness.. This game needs more love! I'm surprised that more people aren't talking about it. I've been desperate for a good strategy game to play. It's a turn based strategy game that actually seems pretty challenging so far. I can't wait to really get some good play time in! It's a game you could grab a stool or chair to sit on in your play space if you need a break from the active room-scale games.If I could figure out how to more reliably end the turns of my units I'd be set :). Turn based strategy game that looks great in VR. So far, of the few games I have played in VR this is the best full game.. 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.
