negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not compatible with Index Controllers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ooph, there's a bit to unload here, so strap in. 1) Doesn't support 2k monitors, unless you want to use a magnifying glass to read text. 2) Half of the achievements are unavailable because they're online only, and the servers are down. 3) Abandoned? Dev said they were going to make bot fighting, where is that??? 4) The "Refill Ammo" button. It doesn't do anything. It's a teaser, letting you think that there's ammo, and fighting, and stuff like that. It doesn't exist! 5) If you go too high,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So it's 2024. And this game still slaps. Awesome experience, especially in VR. 12 years after launch, and it still is better looking than some titles you find deep in various VR stores. I'm really not going to be critical about the issues, like Quest 2 not having controller support, because it's just not warranted due to its age. I know this is an old game, and honestly playing in VR with a Xbox controller works and feels good. I'm just happy it boots into VR, and looks great. All around its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game used to be amazing but then they added a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ which ruined the original experience and now this game sucks. The controls never work correctly any more, the lander looks like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (missles?????lol) and most of it is aimed at VR ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Nice job ruining a good thing, idiots!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this 12 years ago, never reviewed it so HWG, Its a simulation of the moon lander, no arcade stuff here its a rough learning curve, equal and opposite reactions, piloting this machine is alot of fun, what starts are pretty tough soon becomes second nature, I picked it up again a few days ago and its still as good as it ever was. Not a deep game, pretty simple, pick up cargo and drop it off as another base give rewards of money and xp, money pays for better equipment and xp lets you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow . I can finally showcase my play hours on my resume to be interviewed at NASA or European Space Agency or ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) for probable selection in their future lunar missions. Now that I have experience controlling lunar module on moon and on the surface of Mars, you are good to leave the earth's atmosphere for good to perpetual darkness. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldren did play this game as in a testing environment before their eventual selection in Apollo 11…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is mostly a demo. Maps and missions are barely all the same. Just mars give you some different feelings. There is not much to do after you learn the basic, as you only have the basic to do. Specially without any way to extend the game like Mods. It is sad to say, but even while is still unique in the gender, for the price tag you can just have Frontier Pilot Simulator with 10x more content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This little gem is the perfect homage to 50 years of human spaceflight, and classic Lunar Lander games (originating way back on 1969 text-only computers). It takes the idea of the old 2D arcade games with realistic physics, and perfectly transcends them into 3D - plus VR support! The audio deserves special mention: the mesmerizing music, plus voice recordings from real NASA missions, create an intriguing ambience. Considering the 'Newtonian' flight dynamics, this game is of "Easy to learn,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →flat out broke in VR on quest 2. tried all the forum "fixes", nothing works. It starts up and then closes down. brand new top of the line hardware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple idea with superb execution. One of the best VR games out there, even though not made for VR originally and steam VR support still in beta. I'm not sure how I could miss this game for so long - maybe because I was scared off by its presumed age, or because the logo didn't look "serious" or whatever. Could not have been more pleased with this discovery. It's a very "physical" game - all about putting you in control of a low-gravity vehicle on the moon (and later on mars), you control…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Requested refund.....the setting up of controls for hotas in vr is soooooo bad....evan when i got it, some bits were keyboard, some mouse, some xbox controller, some joystick.......absolutly useless in vr that many controllers needing to be plugged in...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very well made Lunar Lander type of simulation. I orginally bought this years ago, it's only gotten better with VR. Without VR and/or experience, I don't recommend using pitch and roll controls, just use the RCS thrusters for lateral movement and the main engine for up/down. Otherwise, you're likely to simply fly out of control and crash often. The game takes some time to fly by feel, until then use all of the navigation aids and watch your velocities. In VR the cockpit has been…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simulation game where you control lunar lander. Gravity is super low so expect super slow gameplay. Fly towards next platform and try to land. You control main thruster to gather height and side thrusters to move to the sides. You can spin vehicle and generally not crash into surface. For one try it's worth checking out but after that it's not very memorable experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played this a bunch around 2012, unlocked everything. Picked it up again recently. It's a very simple premise: you're flying something kind-of-like-a-LM around the moon. You have six axis controls and low gravity and limited fuel (very limited). You pick up missions, earn money and XP to pay for upgrades to your LM, and get better at flying it. There's not a whole lot to it but what there is is pretty great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a lot of difficulty getting the game to be playable on my Windows Mixed Reality headset. The game seems to have no recentering feature, and it actively resists being affected by steam recalibrations/offset adjustments. This was a large issue, since my view was very far above anything I could interact with, making the game unplayable without proper adjustments. I was able to make it playable by adjusting my height in windows mixed reality itself such that my head was in the floor, and even…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not working on VR sadly
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →helps me practice focusing my attention! requires good concentration and the vr experience is mind blowing. best is the slow and contemplative pace. it can be very relaxing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend this game if you are a space or physics nerd. It is surprisingly difficult to get used to, just one miscalculation can send you hurtling into outer space or careening into the ground. It will infuriate you at first, but when you get the hang of it, it becomes much more enjoyable, although it keeps you on your toes as you can always run out of fuel. For a simple game like this though, if it was any easier it would be boring. The music, graphics and background chatter help to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Realistic, challenging and fun lunar module flight sim, albeit VERY limited in scope. If you enjoy realistic space games I recommend it on a sale, as it is fun, but also you will play everything in about 4 hours, unless you want to hunt for achievements and perfect landings. Nonetheless, give it a try for cheap, there's a lack of games of this kind.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you use Joystick, or Throttle, or other physical controllers, BEWARE! >>> Read the Steam Discussions before you buy. <<< Setting up physical controllers is a nightmare, and often won't work at all. It's very unfortunate, because I LOVE this game. But I can't play it. Steam says that I have played it for 44hrs. It's a total lie. In over 7 years I don't think I have over 4hrs in this game, and 3 of them are trying to setup the controllers. There is a new Beta version of this game that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fair warning: If you are buying this game for VR... Don't, it's completely broken and unplayable. Tried it on Oculus Rift.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aweful controls. Being forced to use your head to aim at buttons and then find a mystery button (is it the mouse? is it enter? is it the trigger on the joystick? I dont know.) Game stays in windowed mode, and if your mouse goes off the window, you cant click anything, so you have to take you VR off every two seconds and try to click things. I was unable to get the game to work. I had to force wuit the game, then force quit Steam VR, then restart my computer (brand new computer) Maybe the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Refunded, might be better with a hotas, but trying to play this with a PS4 controller was nothing but frustration in VR. The immersion in the cockpit in VR was ok, although there's no support for the oculus controllers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When this game was new it was good now it looks stupid and is a VR joke shooter and whatever
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game nails the lunar landing genre better than anything I've played. The sound is immersive. The just wish it had more modes!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lunar lander was one of the very first Games that attracted me to computers, Oh so many years ago...(sigh). By coincidence, Lunar Flight was one of the first games I ever bought on steam. Lunar Flight is a well executed 3D modern version of this classic and will hook you. It`s tricky to get right but practice pays dividends and you get better at judging thrust and direction at each attempt. A Great simulation game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They've stopped updating this sim... Unfortunately, a good idea with a really bad company behind it... They were in for the fast money , and , unfortunately, they got mine... Don't let it happen to you...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lunar Flight is an unusual twist on the old flight simulator formula, as you get to control a simulated moon lander type vehicle. Since the physics simulation isn't badly done here, the game is mostly wrestling against the limited controls of the machine and the physics of the universe. On a technical basis, the game is a bit dated and the environments a bit low poly and simplistic. There's no UHD support which is an unfortunate fail. The price tag is a little high for what you get here,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HTC Vive is not supported. False Advertising.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are no down sides. Its a legit, full-physics, 3D remake of Lunar Lander from 1982. I wish there were 8 terrains instead of 3, I wish there were 25 different mission styles instead of 5, but its a fabulous game. I would pay $25 for it. With Occulus its absolutely incredible.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To start, this shouldnt claim both Vive support and tracked motion controllers support. It only supports oculus controllers, so as an Index user I'm out of luck. Secondly I can live with that, honestly I have a nice joystick setup and would probably prefer that anyway. However its the LEAST intuitive interface I have ever dealt with in my life. No indication of what you should press to activate things in VR (space by default, and I havent figured out how to change that yet which is an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is the four pack?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developer of this game took the old arcade game Lunar Lander - from a bona-fide franchise that has existed since 1969 - and turned it into a detailed simulator. Let that sink in for a minute. Well, okay, Lunar Lander was fairly in-depth for an arcade title to begin with. Lunar Flight though is a full 3D sim with VR support and...deathmatch multiplayer, for some reason I'm not going to question because dogfighting in Moon landers with missiles is an awesome idea. It's fairly cheap on sale…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When you crash the ship so many times and then AT LAST you figure out how to drive it, you will start to adore this game. I played it in 2013 every evening and I wona play now. Does anyone want to play multiplayer? And yes, beside fun control you can lunch rockets to each other.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a simple, but extremely challenging VR experience, Lunar Flight is hard to beat. Simply flying from one point to another successfully is very satisfying and the VR environment is hugely immersive despite admittedly dated visuals. It's hard to believe this was one of the first and yet remains one of the best VR simulations.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Works really poorly, there are some minor annoyances that is no quit button, to medium that it takes precedence over other programs, VR isn't available out of the box - you have to download a beta to enable it. Favors controllers and mouse/keyboard isn't a thing. I was unable to play anything since the Steam VR menu was in front of the game the whole time - a MAJOR annoyance. Can't be arsed to figure out how to fix this ancient game, i'd rather just recommend anyone who wants to experience…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome in VR. Really takes nerves of steel when you accidentally bump a rock and go out of control! Super fun and exciting!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is simply the best VR experience I have ever had. It’s always fun to come back and do a few missions, especially with the Oculus Touch controllers integration! You need a bit of time to get used to the controls but the video tutorials of the developer on Lunar Flight’s website are nicely explained and not too long to get you started (try to move only using translation RCS, do not roll or pitch if it’s not for leveling yourself out). I got this game in the “Humble Weekly Bundle: Simulators…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very boring. Looks like a demo, not a game. Only 4 environments, from which 3 are the same. Graphics is very 2010 or 2012, ground lacks any details almost. Just a waste of time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This simulation is quite addictive. A fairly steep learning curve, but rewarding.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im going to recommend this game, but i wish there was a "meh" review. only get this if youre a fan of KSP and want to manually control lunar landings. works in vr, but then index controllers were not working, had to use steam controller. Ive put hundreds of hours into KSP and other space type games and this was amazing in VR. i actually crashed the first 4 times i flew.... its worth it to learn. i only wish there was a horizontal speed indicator. theres a Vspeed indicator and a total speed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game ever written, phenomenal VR. This is the first VR masterpiece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I first bought this just for the VR experience. I figured I loved the landing part of the VR experience Apollo 11, that I probably would like this. I was right. The game is amazing. But.. starting off in VR was my first mistake. This game offers a regular flat gamer version and a VR version. Luckily, where I initially found the VR version impossible to fly.. I quickly mastered the 2D version's flying mechanics. Now, boosted with all my gained 2D knowledge, I did the VR version.. and can now fly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review is more a review of the Steam Review system...but for what it's worth, this game is good. In my opinion. People write these revierws (good or bad, for or against) like they know what they are talking about. In my experience, the internet turns everybody into liars. It's easy to lie on the internet. It's easy to pretend you are somebody else on the internet. I read a lot of reviews by people who are obviously trying to sound like they know something about the game they are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The VR aspect is top notch, but I found the actual gameplay to be frustrating as hell.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pleasantly surprised. At first look, I thought it was kinda meh, perhaps some basic, uninteresting indie tech demo, less than a game, and the screens looked like bullshots to me. But now that I've played it, it actually turned out to be a really well made space themed game, and it's the best 2D or 3D Lunar Lander-esque title since Lunar Lander itself. The excitement and adrenaline when trying to land, specially in first person mode, when only few fuel is left and you don't have much to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →didn't have an xbone controller and couldnt do ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You will crash. .. a lot
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an amazing game. Love the radio chatter background, it really adds depth to the experience. It's a must have for any VR enthusiast
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A trip to the moon sans a few million dollers with a trip to mars thrown in for good measure. Felt like I was really flying there with crisp controls and solid graphics. Highly reccomend this game to any VR users library.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great VR experience. It has been updated on a regular basis with the most recent update being the biggest yet. Totally recommend you try this out, especially in VR.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the first VR games and it still holds up well! Definitely worth the price!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an oldie and a goldie. I am playing this in VR after a break and after watching the first couple of series of For All Mankind. It is awesome. This is LEM simulator, flying a lunar lander module over the surface of the moon (or Mars) and doing jobs for money, you can then use the money to upgrade your lander and buy emergency supplies such as as repair kit or extra fuel. Your lander hovers on a jet engine in low gravity and you can either choose to fly it like a helicopter (very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great simulator
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEST SPACE, FLIGHT SIM I HAVE EVER PLAYED (NOT EASY)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still one of my favourite VR experiences now 10 years after my first play, even better with hotas and the motion platform.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →controls bugged to death- setup a complete nightmare. tried with X360E to map controls but FFS ...abandonware and no support or development - proceed with caution.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SUCKS - DO NOT DO IT.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VR, hell no. This game was NOT made for VR, the controls just dont work at all. I could not break my wrist back enough to get the thing to pitch correctly. It just does not work in VR.
