Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want controller-only combat may hit a wall when battles call for ducking and quick dodges.
- Players who prefer unchanging character abilities may find the permanent skill changes from loot at odds with their preferred play style.
- Players seeking a broad range of launch raids may find the game’s three listed raids limiting.
Our take on Age of Heroes (VR)
The bounce point comes when combat warnings require physical reactions rather than controller-only responses. Players need to duck or dodge and then coordinate class abilities in raids, so those systems may be a barrier for anyone seeking less movement or less team coordination.
What is Age of Heroes (VR)?
Age of Heroes is a VR combat game with single-player and multiplayer modes.
Players choose from four launch classes: mage, archer, warlock, or priest, each with distinct skills and character development. Battles call for physical actions such as ducking and quick dodging in response to visual or audio alerts. Room configurations accommodate small or large movement areas. The game includes three launch raids—Hall of Death, Freezing Stronghold, and Fort of Horror—with battles and bosses that call for team coordination.
Players can collect scrolls after battles to permanently change hero skills. Multiplayer parties support up to 5 players, and cross-platform co-op connects players using Vive or Oculus Rift. The vendor also states plans to add a warrior class and other features after launch.
