Dark Eclipse is inarguably difficult to learn, but once you are over that hump the game is simply spectacular. Just because you don’t understand everything right out of the gate doesn’t mean that deep and thoughtful design isn’t present. There is real depth of strategy here, and the fun visuals are just the icing on the cake. I’m hoping that the audience that has currently found Dark Eclipse sticks with it (and continues to grow), because this is a great game that deserves to thrive.
Dark Eclipse has a good foundation, with a good outlook for the future.

A good free-to-play MOBA for PS4 and a really good VR game.
Dark Eclipse is a fairly simple strategy game that is improved by being in VR and the free to play aspects aren't too problematic either. This is worth checking out if you want to do something different to the usual space/horror/turret-shooter games on PSVR.
I also had some of the usual online play issues during my time with Dark Eclipse: Matchmaking sometimes took more than 3 minutes, and the occasional dropped session that ends a match prematurely. Such issues will hopefully be ironed out for Season 1. But for those who want to try another genre, or mashup to be more specific, and think they might like a slower game where players take their time to implement a strategy, than Dark Eclipse is worth a look.
If we can respect the will to propose something new, Dark Eclipse does not seem deep enough and satisfying enough to popularize the MOBA genre on PSVR, anyway, a kind of game not very suitable for virtual reality.
The first MOBA game for the PSVR is quite the disappointment. The controls are awkward, the grinding nature of the gameplay is a chore and the overall result is a tedious game that only hardcore fans of MOBA games might appreciate.
Summary Dark Eclipse is PS4’s first ever VR MOBA. Command a team of three Leaders, each with their own unique characteristics and abilities, and battle for supremacy in the post-apocalyptic dark fantasy world of Oldus.
