    A fascinating mix of RTS and tower defense that uses the VR in a smart way and provides a level of challenge far from trivial.

    Though it is basic, Korix is a great game to play in VR because it’s real time strategy games couldn't be a more perfect use of the medium. At $20, the game offers a fair amount of content spread between an offline campaign and skirmish mode. There’s also multiplayer, where up to four players can play against or with each other against human and AI players. Sadly, no one was playing so I didn’t get a chance to try it out. That’s probably for the best though. I can’t fathom going against a human player--I’d be ripped to shreds! Korix is a great entry level RTS that uses the technology of the PlayStation VR in a spectacularly immersive fashion.

    This combination of strategy and tower defense turns out pretty impressive in VR. There's challenge and variation in abundance, though the game would do well with a more active online community.

    Korix delivers intense real-time action with an intuitive way to control the chaos. Multiplayer is a real blast as you can see each other’s floating avatar mask to really make it feel like you’re occupying the same space together. The new player experience could use some work, but there’s enough depth here to keep strategy fans busy for a while.

    Korix is a good strategy, tower defence title for PlayStation VR with solid gameplay, bright and vibrant visuals, and outstanding motion control tracking. Unfortunately, there are some issues with guidance for new players, and only having a small online community means the multiplayer component may go underutilised. Still, this title is definitely worth picking up if you have a few friends who you want to nuke.

    Korix tends to veer more towards ‘tower defence’ that RTS as a whole. The lack of story and blocky, basic graphical style let the side down somewhat. Despite that, it is fun to play for short sessions, especially in multiplayer, but lacks the depth for holding your attention for extended periods of time.

    The enemy’s AI is non-existent; it will spawn slowly strengthening hordes of soldiers, but otherwise it won’t do anything. If you can get a multiplayer game going there’s a bit more strategy involved, I guess, but there isn’t much of a community wrapped around this one, leaving Korix feeling like a game that had a good idea buried away in there, but fails to give people the VR strategy experience that they’ll be looking for.

    Best strategy game on PSVR at the moment.

    It gives me a mini Supreme Commander or Total Annihilation vibe by letting you extend out and build little firebases wherever you want, which I love.
    Beautiful chaos with artillery and lasers lighting up the map, makes the simple retro-future graphics work nicely.
    Personally I really enjoy the co-op versus A.I., with you and your teammate both struggling to overcome the A.I. swarms, helping bolster each other on different maps. The Developer held a community map design contest recently which was really cool as well.

    I love this game, felt like a strategic mastermind when I finally beat it!.....and then realized that I had been playing on Easy. Still a lot of room for me to improve! :)    … Full Review »

The feature that allows a player to freely hover around the environment makes it feel like I am playing a board game with live pieces. The developer is constantly pushing fixes, and minor content updates to the game. There is also a short single player campaign, but the real fun is in the multiplayer.… Full Review »
