Description: We are in a distant future and you take the role of a commander of the Earth fleet. Deployed on the planet Orkana, we are ordered to mine raw materials and secure the territory. In the beginning it becomes clear that the planet is not abandoned and that an evil force has control over the living creatures. It seems obvious that the conquest of the territories will be prevented by an aggressive enemy. It will therefore be your task, as commander of the force, to bring this enemy to its knees and bring the planet and its resources into the hands of humanity. Decide the Conflict on Orkana for us and conquer the planet for humanity.

Review: Orkana Conflict VR is an RTS game that is based on an alien world, so expect aliens and weird sci-fi scenery. The good news is most of the graphics are not terrible at all, but most of the time the environments are a little too sparse for their own good. This is very much a “hands-on” style RTS and you will have to do all the work yourself rather than time-managing the game. While you can play the game in a top-down style you will mostly be down on the ground commanding everything and everyone. With only one main game mode and 9 mission areas this game simply doesn’t have the content nor the quality to justify its own price tag. If it was a fraction of the current £13.49 price tag I might be able to recommend it as I really like my RTS games anyway, but until that price is most more reasonable I suggest you avoid it.
