Vanishing Realms
Vanishing Realms Rite of Steel is an immersive Role Playing Game designed from the ground up for Virtual Reality play. Use one-to-one motion controls and movement so that you are fully in control of combat. To swing, duck and block, you don’t hit a button, but physically move to perform these actions as if you were there – because you are!
Treasure chests, weapon shops, a horde of undead foes, mystic writings, banished gods, lost artifacts, ancient tombs and moonlit forest – it’s all here waiting to be discovered in a beautifully hand-crafted VR realm.
- Battle life-sized monsters in stunning, face-to-face melee and magical combat. Hold weapons directly in your hands, learn to block enemy strikes, seek openings in their armor and defenses and strike back. The longer you play Vanishing Realms, the more you’ll hone your physical skills. You’ll take on more powerful and advanced enemies as you move deeper into the world.
- Explore, Discover, Collect, Solve, Play. Directly interact and move freely through a rich and varied fantasy world. Vanishing Realms combines the long tradition of hand-crafted game design with the intuitive and immersive experiences made possible through Virtual Reality and hand-held tracked controllers.
- Surround yourself with Adventure. Pause to take in the moonlit vista before you. Rest beneath a gnarled apple tree – it’s good to see the night sky again. How long have you been fighting and exploring in this place? Rummage in your backpack, take a few bites of bread and cheese, drink a healing draught, think of all you’ve seen and…is something moving over there…on the tree line, beyond the rock outcropping?
Vanishing Realms Review
For one, I have been waiting 12 years to play this game. I know, it’s only been a twinkle in a developer’s eye for a few months or so, but that doesn’t change anything.
When I was playing Morrowind, I wanted it to be this game. When I played Diablo 1, I wanted it to be this game. Heck, when I read books…I wanted them to be this game. This game is not Morrowind or Diablo. It’s not any of those things. This game is clunky, sloppy, graphically challenged (no offense, I still love them) and downright fantastic.
It has a taste, and truly just a taste, of everything I want in a video game. Realistic sword movements, fun battles, gimmicky enemies, a touch of plot, a sprinkle of character, a hint of leveling, a smidge of puzzles, a dash of environmental interaction and a pinch of looting/customization. This is by all means, a shadow of a good RPG. But it doesn’t matter. We’ve all played these good RPGs, but what we want is to be in one. This is as close as you can get right now.
My only negative is that it’s tricky to interact with the belt, as in, a giant pain (unless I was doing something wrong) and it’s too short.
Remember when you senselessly fought things with the Wii-mote? Remember when you bought a Playstation move and for a few hours thought it was awesome until you realized that, meh, not that great? Remember when you wanted to be playing this game? Well, lucky for you, this is that game.
Buy it, support it, and get on the Dev’s nerves about making it better and better. I love this game.
