Fun little bowshooting game for 5 bucks i think it's worth it. There's not much to it, could be a lot more content. However, again for 5 bucks, and one of the first experiences to VR. I would have to say it's a good. fun thing to show friends/family.
There is almost no content here. Same enviroment the entire game, you can't even move out of the starting spot. Same patterns every round, game is more about memorizing than archery. Soundtrack consists of a single track. You can't really aim because it makes you want to place draw string to your face, but you have a headset on so you bash your controllers a lot. There are better and cheeper archery games out for Vive. Why buy this one? graphics: 4/10 sound: 2/10 replayability: 1/10 fun: 1/10 Only game I ever refunded.
I would pay $5 for this max. There is nothing to do and The Lab is more fun and is free.
almost no content
This is one of the best games out for the Vive at the moment. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is fun. Overall this is one of the most immersive experiences for a casual game. I absolutely love it.
I really enjoy VR archery games and bought this without hesitation. Unfortunately, there's not a lot to it, and even though I really like VR archery I got bored pretty quickly. The devs claimed they were working on an action mode, but now are totally silent on the subject, so there's not much to recommend at present. At least it's cheap.
The game has potential, bow mechanics in my opinion are the best compared to other VR bow games currently out. But its more of a demo vs a game worth paying more than $5 for. It gets boring quick, the only reason I have more than 10 minutes played is because my little brother has a fun time with it.
I wish there were more bow types to mess around with, maybe like ones that are on fire, or drawing 2 arrows at a time, etc. The game is pretty fun but it lacks story or variety (in locations / enemies / modes / assets). It's actually kinda like pacman. A bit repetitive and only score based. Have fun for a couple hours or so.
I did not enjoy playing this game at all. I would consider this game as a nice experiment in VR, but it has very little value as a game. While the developers might improve it, nothing I've seen so far indicates that they're likely to convert this into a high quality title (though I could definitely be wrong, its just my feeling about it). - 1 of 10 stars when compared to all other games, including AAA games not made for Vive/VR. - 1 of 10 stars when compared to all other Vive games (available today). - $0 recommended value if the game does not improve much beyond its current state as of 7/10/2016.
[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] [i] Note for Oculus: I had a problem on my initial start when loading game from Steam library, the game just froze on the intro screen. However, when I started game from Steam VR I experienced zero problems. I do recommend full roomscale setup, although it is possible to play with only 2 sensors [/i] I'm just barely recommending this game. It's a simple archery skill game. I had fun, but I experienced everything the game has to offer in under 20 minutes. And that's mostly because there's a playground mode where you can mess around for a bit. In any event, $5 normal price for that little content is kind of steep. I think the current sale price is the correct price of $2.49 for what you're getting. The best thing about this game is the bow and arrow mechanic. It's plays almost perfectly. My nitpick is that you have to keep holding on to the trigger button to hold the bow. I liked normal mode where you pick the arrows from your back and it felt natural and smooth. So the core gameplay is very polished. There just isn't enough content. You do have static targets, moving targets, big targets, small targets, shooting apples off of men or goblin figures, and juggling apples in the air with your arrows. So there is some variety, just not enough. However, you do have leaderboards and you can use the in-game camcorder to show off your gameplay. The visuals & sounds are nice as well. Especially the audio as you can hear where the targets are. So overall, a nice package, but plays more like a quick demo than a full fledged game. Sale price rating 5.5/10. I like it, there's just not enough to justify the normal price. Sale price recommendation only.
