Wave Circles ist ein Rhythmus-Spiel mit eigenen Lvl-Editor (getestet mit der HTC Vive)

Nach einem kurzen Tutorial geht es auch gleich los.
Das Grundprinzip des Spiels ist ähnlich wie bei vielen seiner Vorgänger, wir müssen mit unseren verschiedenfarbigen Controllern zu passender Musik Kugeln oder entsprechende Spiralen treffen. Zusätzlich weichen wir "Splittern" aus und sollen noch mit dem Kopf besonders große Kugeln treffen.
Je besser wir uns anstellen desto größer natürlich die Punkte-Ausbeute.
Uns stehen 3 Leben zur Verfügung, haben wir sie verwirkt ist das Level beendet. Je nach Einstellung regenerieren sich die Leben aber nach kurzer Zeit wieder. (Vor Allem am Anfang zum Üben zu Empfehlen)

Zur Zeit stehen uns 20 verschiedene Songs in je 3 Schwierigkeitsgraden zur Verfügung. Zusätzlich können wir mit einem Editor sehr einfach eigene Level mit den vorhandenen Stücken erstellen. Das ist von der Bedienung her sehr simpel gehalten und geht gut von der Hand. Die erstellten Songs können wir Freunden zuschicken um uns mit ihnen zu messen.

Um die eigenen Fähigkeiten abschätzen zu können steht ein globales Leaderboard zur Verfügung, allerdings habe ich das Gefühl, dass es da noch an der ein oder anderen Ecke hapert. (Mal hatte ich schon einen Highscore in einem Song den ich noch nicht gespielt habe, dafür bekam ich bei einem anderen keinen Eintrag...) Ich hoffe, das wird relativ schnell gefixed.

Das Spiel selbst läuft flüssig und ohne Probleme, lediglich nach Beenden eines Songs hatte ich gelegentlich längere Ladezeiten (bzw. aufpoppen der Base-Stationen), aber noch im erträglichen Rahmen.
Im höheren Schwierigkeitsgrad ist es eine ziemliche Herausforderung, macht aber schon Spaß.

Da der Preis relativ niedrig angesetzt ist, der Level-Editor für viel Abwechslung sorgen kann und es vom Grundprinzip alles richtig macht, kann man hier ruhig zugreifen.

Cooles game aber leider noch ein paar bugs ist aber okay für Erly Access in manchen maps sind offtmals gewisse Sekmente zu hoch oder zu tief um dort ran zu kommen und ich hoffe das Game bekommt für neue maps ein Steam Workshop :D

dachte das spiel ist in etwa wie beat saber. aber leider garnicht. timing der beats im spiel passt überhaupt nicht. die auswahl der lieder ist auch nicht mein fall. die zwei fuffzich lass ich mir zurück erstatten. :-/

This is a good VR music rhythm game, but it's not Beat Saber, obviously! So as long as you don't buy this game expecting Beat Saber, I think you will enjoy it for what it is. Even though this game is in Early Access, it's pretty polished as is. I think I noticed some lag at the start of this game, but as I played, it seemed to be running smoothly without any issues.

The UI is a little rough around the edges and there's only one environment, but other than those issues, everything else was pretty well done. There are 17 music tracks included. None of it is stuff that you've probably heard of before, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. The hand-crafted beatmaps were fun to play. There are usually three difficulty levels for each song. I definitely recommend starting with at least hard difficulty if you're a music rhythm veteran as the normal difficulty will probably be a little too tame.

The thing that I enjoyed the most about this game was the ability to easily & intuitively create your own beatmaps. Up until now, I considered Soundboxing to be the king of the hill in that regard in just how easy it is to create your own beatmaps to the song of your choice. You can do that here and there's more tools to play with (different symbols to make your beatmap tricky or flow with the music). I got a good workout playing this game and I liked how it really felt like you were part of the music flow while playing to the in-game music beatmaps.

I also think the game is priced very reasonably given what you're getting on day one of Early Access. All in all, it's a pretty polished package for Early Access. I think it's better than most VR music rhythm games out there, even if it's not quite in the top tier of VR music rhythm games like Beat Saber, Audica, Air Tone, or Dance Central VR.

Rate 7/10.

If you are looking for a skillful rhythm game you have to look further.
I wouldn't even call this game a rhythm game, it doesn't feel like one. You aren't playing to the beat it's more like all you have to do is to follow the path with your hands. After playing already equipped maps at the highest difficulty it feels like there it's not challenging and there is nothing more. The UI is also very ugly and not appealing.

Right now there is a high bar for VR rhythm games and I think this game is lacking to compete with top titles.

I haven't been able to play much of this game yet. The game just loads me into a weird menu where songs don't load, and the game doesn't start no matter which songs I pick and whichever cartridge I use. The main menu is not obvious and hard to use. I don't understand the rationale when it seems that this was meant for every type of gamer. When I was finally able to get one song working, it didn't seem to sync. It was just off. I know it's early release, but this is just a rhythm game and it's been out almost a year already. It's not playable for me at least.

Game is unplayable and seemingly abandoned. Do NOT buy.

It was a nice game before. Now has become a mess, songs disappear, and most of the times does not work

I received the game for free. I played a few songs so this is more of a first impression than a review. It seems like a cool concept, focusing the game more on dance than like Beat Saber does with the cutting of the blocks. The problem with this game, that I don't have with Beat Saber is you need A LOT of space to play this. Beat Sabers maps are tight and you don't need a large play area to play but this game needs a space of at least 7+ (yes I actually measured) feet in width to be able to comfortably hit a lot of the notes that come across the screen. That's a huge negative to me as my space isn't that large.

I played this game back in september and came back to it recently, it's completely changed from a very understandable and intuitive menu, to a ♥♥♥♥ show where i can't find any levels and just play the game at all, devs what are you doing, get off whatever you're on and fix your game!
