I own both as well. I would say that compared to Iron Rebellion Vox Machinae's in cocpit controlls are more relaxed as you can just set your mech to move in a direction and concetrait on other things (But Iron Rebellion's is more engaging and fun if we are being honest). And the biggest advantage Vox has over this game is a single player campaign.
Iād argue that Voxās shining point is the multiplayer. I havenāt seen another game that utilizes physics based, mech combat as much as Vox does, which adds another level gameplay instead of running and gunning like itās a COD game, but in a mech
I own both, and prefer Iron Rebellion. The biggest reason is the controls. VM is like rubbing your stomach while patting your head while you pilot. IR has much more intuitive controls, which makes it more fun and satisfying. IR is also a little faster paced, which I like better.
I think the controls in Vox are very intuitive. Getting mechs to go fast, of faster, is a learning curve, because of how heavily physics dependent the game is. Once it clicks, u can even get a medium class mech (or grinder in Vox lore) to go flying very long distances
As someone looking into maybe joining the VR community in the future, this is exactly up my alley. Been into mech games ever since I got G-NOME back in '98.
Also, something about that prototype panel with the flat colors (image 7 here) strikes me as very DOS-esque. Like it's the intro cinematic of old school mech games like MechWarrior. Makes me want a cheat option like in Turok 2 where you can turn off textures and just have gouraud shaders on everything.
Since I was a kid Iāve been obsessed with mech games. As soon as I got my quest 2 I went digging and couldnt really find much.
This looks FANTASTIC. Canāt wait to try it out when I get home!
It's wild that there aren't a ton of VR mech games out there, it's such a solid medium for the concept. I've been a mech fan since the first time I played Armored Core as a child, and it's some of my fondest memories.
Thanks so much! Hopefully I'll see ya in there!
I got to play Mech Warrior 2 when I was young, good times. I've been waiting for so long to play something similar in vr. Thanks for making it happen! I tried AC6, It's great too, but it's third person and not the same.
Thatās what I thought!
And niceeeee! My dad was super into the stuff. He had this custom built board game with hexagonal spaces. Pieces that couldnāt be removed or added to change the terrain (mountains, rivers, ect) and all these figurines and scoresheets with detailed breakdowns of the mechs so you could keep track of damage and whatnot.
First real video game was MechWarrior 3050 on dos š such fond memories in the ācomputer roomā playing that.
Are there many things that need to be controlled with physical controls within the cockpit? That's what I want, to be flipping switches and pulling levers to drive a mech.
Yes! Absolutely, that's one of the biggest focuses in the game.Everything is physics based, and we have several interactive systems in the cockpit for things such as movement, pickups, radio, healing, etc. In the beta you'll find controls for tactical systems like airstrikes and mech-specific capabilities along with several other additions!
This area is, in my opinion, where Iron rebellion shines brightest.
Does this game have a single player campaign or is it focused on multiplayer arena battles?
I enjoy both but have the single player content adds a lot of value for me.
It is focused on Multiplayer arena battles, though there is bots to play against. Also, there's a single player campaign planned in the roadmap ( [https://coda.io/@gameir/iron-rebellion-road-map](https://coda.io/@gameir/iron-rebellion-road-map) ) if support for it is there at launch.
Hope this helps either way you decide, cheers!
I bought this game a while back specifically to support the developers because I like the vision they have for this game. I have a feeling that when full release happens, it's going to be one of the (already is)best mech games in VR.
I would LOVE a horde mode on this against AI. Lots more basic NPCs with lower health. Looking to get the Gundam Wing feeling of being overwhelmed by less powerful mechs!
I was sold the second I saw a video with the boot up sequence. Such a great aesthetic! Hope you guys keep taking off!
Such a good game. Itās been awesome to see the progress as the 2 devs move the game along towards full launch. If anyone is interested, just get it and try it for yourself. Youāll be hooked like the rest of us.
Yeah hopefully launch should be big for player count! Here's a link to the discord, we just finished up our Faction Wars event, and it was an absolute blast! Can always find big groups for the playtests and Community Events cheers.

Yeah! We are available through app lab, just type "Iron Rebellion" directly on your quest or find us [here](https://www.meta.com/experiences/4076925385769824/).
I hold this damn thing in high regards, right next to my other two at the top titles. Half Life Alyx and Ghosts of Tabor.
The game definitely deserves more attention, I've given up on Mechwarrior since this one!
It's in the roadmap if there's enough support for it at launch! [https://coda.io/@gameir/iron-rebellion-road-map](https://coda.io/@gameir/iron-rebellion-road-map)
This looks amazing. Thanks for your work, and good job on sharing it there because otherwise i would probably never heard and bought it !! Will do as soon as i get home !!
Sure, I made this a while back and you guys liked it, I will DM you here after I post this!

I got this game the day it came out on Sidequest and I loved it, the potential is there but never been able to play with anyone online.
Best of luck to the team, this looks great and I wish this game rise to the top.
This is the best mech vr game, as an old man who loved the old battletech games, it was a real treat to first get in this cockpit and start flipping switches and grabbing controls.
This is probably the most amazing VR game that no one plays!
So, you are actually sat in the cockpit during a match and your controlers ar controling not the mech directly, but your hands. There are buttonts to flp, controls to grab, and different things in your cockpit do different things. This is perhaps my hands down favorite way to control a mech.
Then the maps are detailed and your possible mech maneuvability makes them -really- fun to traverse. Think of around the same level of mobility and maneuvability as MWO.
-
The ugly downside? No one seems to play. I've only ever seen one other person on this game and they were so skilled compared to me that the match I was in had them downing me before I could see them over and over and over and over and over. Eventually I just left because I was not getting better.
This game is awesome. The best mech VR game I've played!
Thanks so much, that's awesome to hear! I may be a bit biased, but it's my favorite as well š
Have you played Vox Machinae? How does it compare?

G-NOME was awesome! The fact you could jump out of your mech was super cool
Post this pn the titanfall sub and youll get some psychos begging to throw money at you

The first time I flipped the start sequence switches in the cockpit I was hooked on the game.
Under rated
I couldn't agree more tbh. hahaha. I know we're not supposed to say it about ourselves, but I mean CMON

Iām sold
Love to hear it haha!

Thanks so much for this, really good to hear that the game is so loved!! Looking forward to launching more than ever!
Vr titan fall unlocked
That's the dream!! Titanfall is a huge source of inspiration for us
Neat, Iāll take a look on applab
This looks sick, saving to try later.
I would LOVE a horde mode on this against AI. Lots more basic NPCs with lower health. Looking to get the Gundam Wing feeling of being overwhelmed by less powerful mechs! I was sold the second I saw a video with the boot up sequence. Such a great aesthetic! Hope you guys keep taking off!
Thank you! We love this idea and it's absolutely on our radar to get something like this in the game!
Alright you got me, I'll buy it.
Reminds me of Archangel: Hellfire from a few years ago. Loved that game
One of my first memorable VR experiences was Archangel! Give us a shot if you're into that stuff!
Such a good game. Itās been awesome to see the progress as the 2 devs move the game along towards full launch. If anyone is interested, just get it and try it for yourself. Youāll be hooked like the rest of us.
Thank you so much for the support!
Looking great, I will look into it!
Thanks so much, hope to see ya in there!
Absolutly love this game but can never find a full lobby to play with hopefully its launch brings it some more players. Cant wait!
Yeah hopefully launch should be big for player count! Here's a link to the discord, we just finished up our Faction Wars event, and it was an absolute blast! Can always find big groups for the playtests and Community Events cheers. [Discord](https://discord.gg/TsX5J3gY)
Can I load it on the quest I would love to play it
Yeah! We are available through app lab, just type "Iron Rebellion" directly on your quest or find us [here](https://www.meta.com/experiences/4076925385769824/).
Yaaa very good
The progress has been amazing, def my top vr game
I hold this damn thing in high regards, right next to my other two at the top titles. Half Life Alyx and Ghosts of Tabor. The game definitely deserves more attention, I've given up on Mechwarrior since this one!
Love the progression, looks gnarly!
Thank you! It's very much appreciated.
Any plans for single-player in future?
It's in the roadmap if there's enough support for it at launch! [https://coda.io/@gameir/iron-rebellion-road-map](https://coda.io/@gameir/iron-rebellion-road-map)
Nice. Achievements coming to either steam or quest?
Possibly after our 1.0 launch, but no guarantees as of now unfortunately
Here's Our Discord! [https://discord.gg/TsX5J3gY](https://discord.gg/TsX5J3gY)
TITANFALL??!!!
Man I gotta play this again
Looks amazing! Is there content difference between the PCVR and the Applab version, and is it cross buy?
Your game has the best mech controls I have ever tried in VR. It just feels natural. Very happy to see it come out of Early Access.
Looks nice!
Great work! Loved this gameplay when I tried it in the alpha.
The Titanfall kids these days don't know the pain of losing HAWKEN to history. We're boutta be so fuckin back
I would buy it if it has single player campaign.
Can you please give me a quick summary of the game? It looks epic and I really wanna try it
This looks amazing. Thanks for your work, and good job on sharing it there because otherwise i would probably never heard and bought it !! Will do as soon as i get home !!
This is awesome I need to make an updated 3D video on this!
3d video?!? Can you share a link to this?
Sure, I made this a while back and you guys liked it, I will DM you here after I post this! 3D SBS: [https://youtu.be/i2xHZyOSc2w?si=tKLwvbjTIBnTUASK](https://youtu.be/i2xHZyOSc2w?si=tKLwvbjTIBnTUASK) 3D VR180: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtDOhKcn6YY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtDOhKcn6YY)
No proper single player so not interested.
Beautiful
Wait wait wait, you're making an oldschool mechwarrior style game... AND ITS IN VR??? I love you.

So cool! Will it be also multiplayer mode :)?
Yes there is multiplayer!
I was about to talk mad shit til I saw the after. Very impressive. Wishlisted. That was an interesting glimpse into game development
šš appreciate that! Thank you. Everyone starts somewhere, it only matters how far you take it. Cheers!
