00:00I am Gotcha VR. Gotcha VR. Welcome to the show. Reviews and reveals, now you're in the know.
00:09Break it down, run the test. MetaQuest 3, don't you want the best?
00:14Step into the grid, come and raise the bar. You're locked in now, it's Gotcha VR.
00:18This is Star Vault by the developers Thea Games, and it was released on the 15th of May, 2025.
00:31So this is a multiplayer online battle arena game. Two teams of up to 5 vs 5. You can also have 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4.
00:39You can also play against AI from settings of Easy, Medium or Hard. Pick your side, Chaos in Red or Order in Blue.
00:47Then next, tap the like button at the bottom right of this video and click subscribe.
00:51Then work your way across the map and take out your enemies, 4 defensive towers, fight for control of other defensive positions and advantage points.
01:00The aim is to make it to their home base and take out their core building for the win.
01:04Now you can only damage a tower when the tower's crystal pops out from the top to attack you or your minions, which are called creeps in this game.
01:12To destroy the tower, you must make direct hits on that crystal.
01:16There are many other things around the map to aid you in your battle, such as jump pads that will catapult you to certain areas of the maps.
01:24Then there's portal windows, one from your base and then the other one, which you will have to go out and capture by standing on the portal and waiting for the light indicators to charge up and complete the circle.
01:35There are other points of interest around the map to be captured, such as visibility altar and hearing altar.
01:40One allows you to see more on your minimap and the other will restore your health and shields when standing close to them.
01:47Then there are six camps of creeps around the map.
01:49When a player clears a camp for the first time, you are able to collect an artifact buff, which will last for the rest of that game.
01:56Then there is the battle for the titan.
01:58You will first need to defeat it by attacking its yellow crystals.
02:01If the crystals are not lit up, it cannot be damaged.
02:05Once defeated, though, go stand on the platform close by and you will get control of that titan for three minutes or until it's destroyed, whichever comes first.
02:13Then there are arena battles, which will be announced by the voice in the sky.
02:16Head to the entrance highlighted by the blue beam and then fight creeps.
02:20Collect the coins that drop.
02:22First team to collect 25 coins wins.
02:25Collect currency to shop at the store and buy perk upgrades.
02:29You will have those perks displayed on the left above your XP bar.
02:33Each perk might be able to be bought and stacked up to five times to make it more powerful or effective.
02:38The three skills your character possesses take some time to charge, but once it's charged, you will see a flashing notification by it.
02:46These three skills are displayed right in front of you in the center.
02:49There are many characters to choose from, each having a unique style weapon, maybe a bow and arrow or daggers, a big gun robot, energy sword, a gunner or explosive projectiles.
03:00And then each character has their own set of unique skills.
03:04Some characters you need to unlock by buying them using credits so you can use them in game, earn credits by playing games.
03:10When you die, you will head back to your home base to respawn, but you will have to wait some time until you respawn.
03:17The higher level you are, the longer you have to wait to respawn.
03:20There is a good tutorial here to help you get you on your way and understand the many things that are going on in each game.
03:26There is many things to understand, but you will get the hang of it within three or four games.
03:30I think the visual of the gunfights looks awesome in this game, and the map visuals are really good.
03:36The map is a very generous size.
03:38I would like to see at least three more maps to pick from though, as I think playing the same map over and over is going to get a bit boring within a few hours.
03:45Your biggest obstacle here is going to be the shop.
03:48There are many menus for different type perks, but the more you play, the faster you will learn where and what each one does.
03:54I can't say I'm a fan of the long spawning times.
03:57I think a maximum of 30 seconds is way more than enough, and when the enemy is nearer to your base, I think spawn times should be reduced.
04:05It is so frustrating and annoying seeing the enemy at your base destroying your reactor whilst you're helplessly standing there counting down the spawn clock.
04:13I do hope this game will find a massive player base, as it has a lot of potential.
04:18I played a few quick matches online, and I got into games quickly, and there were plenty of other players.
04:23But I also think they will grow by adding more maps.
04:27I just hope they don't lose their player base whilst players have to wait for more maps.
04:32I think some of the characters need some touches though.
04:34And as soon as people catch on to this, which won't take long, their matches will be over quickly.
04:38But I saw scorpions taking down towers like a hot knife through butter.
04:43And if you get that titan, it can cause some real serious damage and possibly end the game so quickly.
04:49Now, what I would like to see the most is character customisation.
04:52Being able to customise your own head, body, arms and legs, and different outfits, different hats, helmets, animal heads, robot parts, just everything.
05:01So your character will be instantly recognisable out in the battlefield.
05:05But I do look forward to seeing more characters added.
05:08Now, don't expect to be in a 5 vs 5 game for any less than 20 minutes.
05:13These games can last for well over an hour at times.
05:16So make sure you are ready for a battle.
