The game looks great -- it's awesome to get down on the ground level and watch the little dudes duke it out. Even the maps themselves look incredible. But once the novelty of "it's in virtual reality!" wears off, you are left with a mechanically-solid RTS game with a poor story, that lacks specific commands veterans will expect, and has what is likely a very small community.

While Brass Tactics doesn’t break new grounds in the RTS formula, it stands as the best of its kind in VR today. The overall design is simple and intuitive so that novice players can dip their feet in without trouble, yet provides enough depth to satisfy genre fans. With such accessibility alone, Brass Tactics sets a new standard for others to follow.

Brass Tactics is a big step forward for RTS games in VR. The tactile feeling of picking up, directing, and interacting with units using your own hands is excellent and the mixture of single player, as well as both cooperative and competitive multiplayer, all adds up to one of the most feature-rich strategy games we’ve seen yet. It lacks some of the depth and complexity of its modern non-VR counterparts, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a more competent and engaging RTS in VR right now.

Graphiquement original, techniquement au poil, Brass Tactics propose une très bonne retranscription de ce que peut donner un STR en réalité virtuelle. Attention toutefois, il ne propose ni la profondeur de gameplay, ni le rythme effréné d'un jeu de stratégie hardcore à la Starcraft. Nous sommes ici sur les prémices, sur un premier essai, réussi certes, mais basé sur beaucoup de théories et d'hypothèses de game design, dont nous validons totalement l'efficacité.

Basta non aspettarsi un RTS duro e puro e Brass Tactics vi divertirà moltissimo, oltre a farvi capire come la VR sia ormai una tecnologia adatta a più generi. Qui è implementata alla perfezione (e non dà assolutamente alcun fastidio fisico) ed è associata a un gioco tecnicamente valido, completo a livello di modalità e con un gameplay sicuramente semplificato rispetto a tanti RTS non VR ma non per questo da bocciare.
