About Elemental Pet Battles:
This game has so much potential, it’s practically making my brain hurt. This is exactly the type of concept VR has been begging for, and let me say, it has been fleshed out beautifully for something in its early access stage! If you’ve ever watched Avatar: The Last Airbender and/or The Legend of Korra, this game will undoubtedly be a childhood dream come true. Control huge vortexes of wind! Toss fireballs from your hips! Raise pillars of rock from the ground! It’s everything I had ever hoped for as a nine-year-old kid trying to make water levitate in my basement. I’ve been having some inconsistent performace with the FPS, and a few of the graphics are in their basic stages, but I’ve met the developers on their Discord channel. I have no doubt in my mind that these passionate geniuses will go well out of their way to fix these minor problems and bring this game to its full potential. They’re a hardworking, dedicated group, and it all truly shows in this work-of-art. Anyone who is as enthusiastic for the future of VR as I am should give this game a whirl. I promise you won’t be disappointed! 11/10 for sure! The idea is good, but the mechanics to fighting are janky and unfun. Basically everything with movement detection doesn’t “feel right” – punching feels silly, super moves require too much precision, blocking is difficult with little feedback in either visual or audio cues. The game also looks like something straight out of the N64 era – which would be fine, if it was fun. Bottom line, even though it’s cheap to buy and may be appropriately priced, the level of polish and quality is too low for me to recommend. Which is sad, as it’s the only game that is “Avatar-esque“. Hopefully it improves drastically in the future.
