Description: Robot City Stadium is a competitive multiplayer disc-combat sport focused on skill, nuance, and mastery. Online multiplayer against friends, enemies, strangers, casual acquaintances, romantic interests, and even people from elementary school who for some reason just sent you a Steam friend request! You’ll jump and dodge, block and throw, score points, and annihilate your friends with the natural effortlessness of “being there”. No obscure or uncomfortable teleport mechanics here- RCS was built from the ground up to take full advantage of room-scale VR. RCS is a competitive game, so when you throw your weapon it has to go exactly where you expect, just like throwing a frisbee. That’s different than “goes where you want”- there’s no aim-assist here. The precision of the amazing Vive controllers means that what you throw is what you get. It’s up to you to bring the skill.
Review: If you like any of the other disc-throwing games there are for VR Robot City Stadium will be a good one to pick up. It’s very much the same as every other disc-thrower with the same Tron style of graphics, but it does have a much more “sporty” feel to it than others do. Its a pretty good game for single players, but it is multiplayer in which this game really comes to life. Sadly there are not many players online these days so you will have to invite a friend or two to play with you. I do feel £6.99 is too much, but anything for half-price or less will give you value for money. If like me you love this genre of game, do consider giving Robot city stadium a go.
