Review: I get the impression that there are some big ideas with ‘Crystal Raiders VR’ sadly none of them is bearing any fruit at the moment. It’s a colourful adventure game of sorts with a tutorial that lasted almost 20 minutes! The game looks good I suppose with a cartoon flavour, but when it comes to the controls they are not the best at all, especially the “grenade” throwing mechanics. With only 7 levels you don’t get a lot of content here at all, especially given the rather high £11.39 price tag. The real value is in the multiplayer mode which was void of players when I tried to look at it, so you will need friends to download it as well. I do think this game is worth a look, but waiting for a sale price is definitely advised.
