[h1]How to download this game despite the lack of a download button[/h1] Go to the SteamDB page for this game: https://steamdb.info/app/534870/ click the green 'free' button. A steam game installer client will open as if you just pressed 'play' in the steam store. Choose your save location and let it download. Now you can open it through steam, using SteamVR. [h1]What is this game ?[/h1] In 'Arcane' , you are defending a bridge against elemental creatures [fire demons, ice wolves, etc.] There is a tutorial with tagets to shoot at that walks you through and introduces the different weapons in the game. You have the following weapon choices: [olist] [*]Electric Katana: slash to produce a killing wave effect. After a slash you have to wait a second to be able to slash again. [*]Fire Fist: press the trigger to send your fist flying into the air like a guided missle, let go of the trigger to get your hand back. [*]Bowmerang: looks like a bow, but operates like a boomerang. [*]Trine: a 2Handed sword, creates 3 parallel shockwaves when slashed. is very similiar to the Electric Katanas. [*]Ice shield: you can see through the ice and reflect fire bullets back at the enemy [*]Heavy wooden shield: same, but instead of being semi transperent you are given a hole to peek through [/olist] Over all, you get to choose either the 2 handed sword, or a combination of each of the 1 handed weapons, and/or the 1 handed shields. (Note that the Katanas and the Trine can also deflect incoming fire bullets). [h1]Should you download it?[/h1] Note that this game is abandoned and will not be developer further, which is why the official play button was removed from the store. Don't expect more than 0.5-1 hour or so worth of content. However, for a short (400MB) free download, this game is worth it, and it's quite a lot of fun to try all the weapons. Each of them is unique and awesome in it's own way.

I don't like wave shooters (why have I bought this?!). Please keep this in mind while reading this review. As weapons I selected two swords that you swing to realease some kind of beam that can hit multiple enemies at once. You need to wait for the beam to reach the far before you can swing again, very annoying! What else? I did not loke the simple cartoon type graphics. Well, could have seen this in store pictures already... (Once again: Why have I bought this?!)
Cool game, not sure why it doesn't have more reviews but here are my thoughts after about an hours play. Pros: Cool unique weapons, Satisfying when you hit a bunch of enemies with a single swipe Crapped my pants the first time a wolf ran at me Feels like a polished game that's actually finished which seems to be rare in VR Graphics are crisp and I like the cartoon style. Has a leaderboard so there's incentive, albeit a minor one, to keep playing and getting better. Cons: It's another wave shooter No multiplayer Only three different weapons so far I wish I could see my play space mapped out before chaperone kicks in so dodging enemies was easier. Something similar to how Holopoint has a floor area in game mapped to the size of your play space. Overall: It's worth the money as it's in the same league as games such as Space Pirate Trainer and Holopoint which are more expensive.
It's another wave shooter but it has unique weapons/mechanics and its 8 dollars so thats a positive game. Fun to show off to your friends easy-ish to pick up. There are 3 distinct weapons the fist, the sword and the glaive. The sword is what I preferred and it threw off your slashes into the air like a magic brush stroke. So the game to me felt like drawing slashes into the air that would travel like a projectile and kill your enemies. The Fist travels like a projectile rocket you control that shoots off from your hand nothing special there. The glaive is really not beginner friendly/doesn't seem useful at all so I did not try it except in practice. You basically fight waves of enemies to the top of the mountain the only thing that changes is your scenery gets closer and closer to the mountain top but its essentially a wave shooter. Oh and you have a shield that you can deflect projectiles back with you can choose to take with you instead of an offhand weapon. Seemed pretty mandatory to have the shield on higher difficulty waves unless you are channeling neo. The weapon mechanics are a unique utilization of VR enough for me to give a positive review. Two enemies repeat over and over only thing that changes is it spawns more of them higher you go. I got pretty high on the leaderboard but didnt get to the top of the mountain so idk if there will be more further on. My complaints are the weapons lack a bit of polish like the sword doesnt rrecharge at a very quick rate, which I can see why. If you could slash as fast as you want there would be no challenge but the recharge rate leaves the weapon feeling kind of unsatisfying. TLDR fun game to showcase VR to friends, visuals and VR wand usage is cool enough to have people enjoying it and having fun for 1+ hours. I don't know if the weapon/enemy mechanics have enough polish and tuning to keep people playing beyond a few hours, but your mileage may vary.

Actually the best game VR i've ever played, its so addicting and hard when you progress. For the time ive played it so far it has'nt gotten repetative yet because each new wave is just some crazy ♥♥♥♥ you can't belive is possible but in the end turns out to be ultra clutch. It's a cheap game that loard gaben has on sale rn and its just so fun. Note: Only thing i have is that a sword and sheild is like meta and no other combo is too viable to get really far in.
Disclaimer - I was an Alpha & Beta tester This game is a load of fun. I was (and still am) sick of regular wave shooters, but this game blew me away. Yea, it's still a wave shooter, but it forces you to adapt to insane situations very quickly with your own body movement, going from offense to defense in a matter of seconds, something that none of the Wave Shooters I've seen ever made me do (SPT, RAW Data, and not alot of time on SSVR - The Last Hope)
Well this game is very very fun! This is a great game if you dont want a crazy story line and you want something thats fun, exciting, and entertaining! I so far have nothing but absolute fun with this game. There are lots of pros and some cons at the same time. PROS - Cool weapons - easy to pick up and play - tough enemies - the overall look and feel to the game is nice CONS - around stage 6 the game gets way harder - using the katana sword swipes can be inaccurate Overall super fun game that anyone can pick up and start playing and it's only $7.99
Even though this game is no longer in develpopment I still find myself occasionally playing it. Why? Because the weapons there are fun to play! Each weapon has a different playstyle and some of them are very hard to master. It's a simple low poly wave based game where you can jump right on it for some quick fun :)
