Review: Warpaint shows why strategy games work well in VR. This game really shouldn’t work. It looks far too basic, is a boring turn-based strategy game and its shallower than a chess game played with only pawns. But yet…it still works, it is still oddly fun to play! While there is also a multiplayer mode in this game you are not going to come across another player online anytime soon, but at least the AI does give you a run for your money. Also, you can paint your own little characters which gives the game a much more personal feel and I really enjoyed looking down on them in the battlefield admiring my work. OK, so it’s not worth £6.99, but grab it for half that or better and you might enjoy it.
