User Reviews

Overall, Vanguard V for Cardboard VR is praised for its visuals, audio, and VR-friendly controls, delivering an immersive experience. However, stability and content are major drawbacks: frequent crashes, black/ flashing startup screens, and loading issues offset the appeal. The game’s scope is very limited (one level), with many users asking for more maps and a campaign. Device-specific display alignment issues also appear on several iPhone models. Fixing stability and expanding content could elevate Vanguard V to a standout Cardboard VR title on iOS.

Pros

Immersive VR experience with strong graphics and audio
Cardboard-friendly controls that feel natural via head tracking and auto-shoot mechanics
High praise as one of the best Cardboard VR games on iOS with a well-executed single level
Positive reception of visuals and sound design contributing to immersion
Gameplay feels smooth and responsive within the VR/limited-control scheme

Cons

Frequent stability issues: crashes, black screens, and other loading problems on startup
Extremely limited content: only one level with requests for more maps and a campaign
Device-specific display/graphics alignment problems on several iPhone models (e.g., iPhone 6/6s/6 Plus/7 Plus)
Some users experience flashing screens or other visual glitches that hinder play
Lack of settings or guidance for controls may affect first-time users on certain devices

Just a black screen...literally nothing. I used to play this game a lot and it was great now it’s nothing.

That’s all it is.

Game takes forever to download only to not work at all. Why is it even still on here if it doesn’t work? Thought Apple was high end when it came to their products [app store].
