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.

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.

Still the reigning strategy game champ of PSVR! I need somebody else to jump into the ring and make more strategy games, but meanwhile I guess I'll play some more Korix!

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 **** then realized that I had been playing on Easy. Still a lot of room for me to improve! :)

This game has excellent frame rate, and there isn't even a close hint of motion sickness. 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.

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.

Best VR Experience to date. I love this game. Being able to really rotate the board and see other players in real time as floating heads allows for some hilarious trolling. 10/10. Good devs too, always reaching out to the community. Love it!

This game is amazing. An actual full VR game with online game play, just played a match, got my ass kicked but was an amazing experience, if this online community expands, it will be a very lasting game, it has a learning curve, and the tutorial does not tell you a lot, but the discovery is half the fun and it is incredibly enjoyable not just as an "experience" but as an actual game

The difficulty curve quickly steepens - perhaps too quickly. [June 2017, p.107]

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.

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.

Amazing game super solid frame rate at a whopping 120 FPS, I am ecstatic that this game has multiplayer. Very hard and very fun! The game also includes a campaign and skirmish modes. It is a very deep tower defense real time strategy game

Top notch gameplay in a re imagined RTS tower defense game made for the PlayStation VR, and with a developer that actually interacts with their community, this is easily becoming one of my favorite titles. Sure it can get a bit difficult, and I get destroyed in multiplayer, but the desire to try again keep pressing me to push forward. If you haven't tried it already, I think Korix is worth your time!

This game shows how strategy should be done in VR. It brings some nice features to the RTS/Tower-defence genre which I haven't seen before. Using the Move-Controllers really sets this apart, as you feel like you are a master tactician, building units and towers to defend or capture new territory. It's also one of a few RTS games on the PlayStation console. I can only hope that other developers are going to follow this approach, as this shows that strategy games not only belong to the pc world. Some of the features I enjoyed: - flawless Move-Controller support - graphics are flawless (polygon/pixel style) - difficulty ramps up quickly, but always leaves room for self improvement - campaign and multiplayer (coop/vs) - controls are easy to learn Things that would make this a 10 for me: - Map Editor: creating custom maps would give this more longevity - I would wish for more types of foot soldier/tank units, as this could enhance the strategy aspect of the game
SummaryKorix places you deep in space, fighting for your race’s survival after your homeworld is destroyed. With nothing left to lose, you are put in the role of commander, with the sole mission of taking the fight back to the enemy. Build up your defences, capture resources, and build your own army to exact revenge.
Rated E +10for Everyone +10
