Crystal Conquest

-- Played on Meta Quest 2 -- TL:DR; Interesting concept with a lot of potential, but in its current state I don't see myself coming back to it very often. There aren't enough players to get the 'true' experience, which means you're playing against bots that are so barebones you'll lose interest quickly. --- The tutorial gave me a lot of hope; there's some really cool abilities which are fairly easy and intuitive to learn. The different classes add some variety and there's even a Monk class which you can unlock later, incentivizing players to work towards something. Unfortunately all of it kind of falls flat once you actually start playing. There's barely a community, so unless you have a bunch of friends with PCVR setups to play with (I don't have any), you'll be playing against incredibly lackluster bots. I tried the single-player mode with waves of enemies, and on the second level my bot ally dies almost immediately every time, which means that I have to do a 1vs2 when I just did the tutorial and am still trying to remember which button does what. It's also really hard to tell when an enemy is using an ability because they don't have clear animations for them (they just stand there, really stiff) which means that by the time you realize what ability they're using, you have very little time to dodge the attack. Not that it matters anyway, because the homing effect on every ability is so strong that it will just curve towards you. I think turning the homing effect down by A LOT will make the game more skill-based and make physically dodging attacks more fun and rewarding! Let me squat to dodge so I feel like Neo from the Matrix, or step to the side etc. The flatness of this combat against bots is basically what turned me off from playing more. I understand that the game is not aimed towards a single-player audience, but there needs to be *something* to draw players in until the playerbase is big enough to support the whole MOBA idea.
