THE 'FORMATION' EXPERIENCE

'Formation' is a VR game where you pilot a powerful combat aircraft as part of a revered formation squadron. Set in the far future, Formation features a unique core-gameplay experience that focusses on intense formation flying.

THE BULLSHARKS

Decades ago, war ravaged the planet. Driven back in to the sea, the forces of the Allied Planetary Defence were facing defeat. In a last-ditch effort one of the few remaining air units — the Bullsharks — almost singlehandedly turned the tide of war.

For those too young to remember the war, the 7th serve a new purpose. In an age of peace, the once deadly machines of a century-old conflict now serve to inspire budding engineers and pilots as they thunder through the skies above Ocea.

WELCOME, PILOT

First things first, you'll need to get your head around the FORMHUD system which will keep you synchronized with your squad. Commander Burns himself is expecting you for basic flight training at 0600 hours.

Exceed expectations

As soon as I loaded up the game I was impressed by even the loading screen, it was awesome and it got me really excited to try out the game for real. I haven’t even gotten past the third mission yet but i find the whole futuristic concept awesome and even the little tidbits of lore are great. The game is genuinely difficult but it makes me want to keep coming back to play it more. I love games like that, and I’m no pilot but I love flight sims. This may not be an ultra realistic one but it’s a lot better than most you can get on the meta store. I’ve only encountered one small problem, and that’s whenever I try to push the speed bar/handle forward it either doesnt register me grabbing it or when the grabbing finally works it goes forward for a few seconds then goes full brakes for some reason. It’s pretty annoying but it hasn’t really affected my formation in the mission so I just wanted to let you guys know. Thanks for making such a great game!

Firstly, thanks for your review! Some very encouraging words.

Regarding the throttle issue; the instant full brake issue occurs when the controller momentarily loses tracking. Try to make sure you're in a well lit environment and not moving your controllers out of the view of the headset. We might be able to fix this so thanks for reporting it.

Cheers!

Hi, you need to hold the grip trigger and move the touch controller in any direction. Let us know how you go.

UPDATE: The latest update (0.9.37) has a 3D touch controller showing you what button to press.

Has the potential to be a great game

I would guess many of the lower ratings are from people who quit before getting through the initial tutorial. The controls are a bit hard to master, and admittedly a bit frustrating at first, but they get easier as you practice.

Once you get the controls down, the game actually becomes pretty chill. I could see playing this to de-stress after a long day.

That being said, the controls do present a bit of a learning curve. The game is in “Easy” mode for Early Access, but it feels more like a “Hard” mode. I’d be curious to try a version where the vertical axis input is disabled for aileron rolls, and the horizontal axis is disabled for full loops.

The music and sound effects are great. They create a sci-fi ambiance that feels something like being immersed in Juno Reactor’s “Rotorblade”. Listening to the music may be my favorite part of the game.

Looking forward to playing the full version!
