Games should sometimes only be judged by the fact of weather they're fun or not. Well, lads, Reality Fighters is fun. It has a simplistic gameplay but it's just fun so enjoy the ride.
A good attempt at approaching the augmented reality for hardcore gamers. It is a nice and fun fighting game, although some combat might become a little repetitive and the game has that much content. However, the use of the cameras to catch the player appareance is very interesting and promises a lot of multiplayer fun.
Judging by how bizarre some of the fighters are (like a Polish punk rocker who also happens to be a dentist) we're guessing that the guys over at Novarama are definitely on some kind of drug. Which would also explain why the actual fighting is so crappy. [March 2012, p.55]
As a proof of concept, Reality Fighters is convincing, but it's sub-par as a high-priced fighting game, trailing the competition and offering novelty in place of substance.
Reality Fighters has its fun moments, and showing off the AR fighting to a technophobe can be enjoyable, but you will tire of the game incredibly quickly after you realize just how simple the fighting mechanics are, and how little depth the game has.
Reality Fighters is nothing more than a tech demo for PS Vita's augmented reality capabilities. As a game it offers insipid gameplay, poor customization, some bugs and no interest. Forget it.
SummaryReality fighters is an augmented reality fighting game in which you can capture yourself using the NGP camera and duke it out against other fighters around the world.
