A VERY fun game with Severe problems. ITs a very fun game, but the tutorial skips out on the fact that wands have effects, and how you're supposed to heal(I've had to teach atleast a dozen ne wplayers how to do it). matchmaking is extremely annoying, because it throws you to the wolves making you go against people WAY out of your weight class(it needs a "please dont match me against this player for 24 hours" button). The last wands are too expensive, and by my count take more than 12 hours of grinding to get one(this is a generous estimate), or 48 hours of grinding to get all of them. The developers have "fixed" this problem, by scheduling events on specific days where you can get extra dust, but it feels like slapping a band aid on a amputated finger, it's not a great solution. Fun, but REALLY needs to fix it's issues, in fact if the above problems are solved in the future I'll come back and change my review (if possible) to five stars, and actively try and get people to play it, because when you're not dealing with those problems it is VERY fun.
Strategic 1v1 Between Oculus Devices. Played this on an Oculus Rift CV1 with my brother on an Oculus Quest. Gameplay was smooth as butter and neither of us had an advantage over the other in terms of hardware. Different spells are more useful depending on the size of the level. Reaching level 10 allows you to pick another set of spells, which helps overcome the advantage one may get based on the size of the map. Currently, I wish there were more maps or the ability to mod and add maps. The ones that exist are beautifully designed. The VR controls are well implemented and easy to use. The tutorial and a little practice will get you over the learning curve. Every VR game is slightly different when it comes to rotation and teleportation. This one feels natural after some practice. Overall, I recomend this game especially for crossplay between Oculus devices (very few games support this).

Great for crossplay with friends. Wands isn't going to absolutely stun you like some other VR titles, especially if you have been playing VR for a while. However, for my friend who just got an Oculus Go, we found this as one of the handful of games we could play between Rift and Go. For that purpose, it is very good, and is probably the best candidate for crossplay between the two systems. However, if you're looking for just Rift/Quest multiplayer, there are better options available.
Most addicting game I've found on VR. I've played pretty much every VR game available, and while some have wow moments, this is the only one that keeps me putting on the headset. There is definitely a learning curve, which I think discourages some folks when they first give it a try. But I promise if you give it more than a quick glance, this is the game that's going to keep you coming back.
