Guardian of Immortal Mountain(仙山守卫者)

Guardian of Immortal Mountain is a free VR shooter game. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok, was understandable. Your best weapons are the dual weilding crossbows but you can have 2 swords also. The enemy creatures appear from all sides of your animals. Game is missing some chapters. The locomotion takes some work to use and get used to, holding grab buttons and then moving your controllers up and down. Try it and delete it.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This game is free, so it's not that bad. If you're new to VR, this may be worth a download. I just can't recommend it because it's not interesting enough. If this game had come out 2 years ago, maybe it would be worthy of a positive review. This is not the worst wave shooter out there, but I would rank it below average and just below where I can recommend it. So I think there are 4 portals that open up. There's these animals that you have to protect. The main problem with this game is that the crossbow is the only viable weapon. The sword is total crap. The shield does next to nothing. So you'll be dual-wielding cross-bows and pressing trigger until your finger hurts and you want to tap out. The enemy hit detection (when using a sword) and the collision detection are also off in this game. You'll be running (arm-swinging) once a new portal opens up. There is some enemy variety. Some are big and have more HP, some are small and shoot fireballs at you, some move fast towards you. But the enemy AI is just dumb. In fact, it's just a matter of hitting trigger fast enough to bring down enemies quickly enough. That's all there is to the game. It's mind numbing and your trigger finger will hurt. Rate 4/10. Not really worth the download. Nice try by the dev though, some variety at least. Uninstalled and vanquished from my Steam library, be gone!

"Guardian of Immortal Mountain(仙山守卫者)" is a pointless, abandoned tech demo/advert/prologue for a full game that never got made, as the Chinese developers failed to deliver the other 4 chapters (that presumably would carry a price tag). What do you do in the game? It's a VR tech demo, a wave survival shooter/brawler. Kill the asset flip looking critters until they're all gone or you get nauseous from the badly done VR. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency. There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest of the game is indistinguishable from that of asset flips. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. This game is fairly dated at 7 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's none, it's just a badly done tech demo, but as mentioned they were going to add extra content (and presumably charge for it), but given how badly this failed you can see why they didn't bother, leaving this advert up on Steam just to pollute the place. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 3 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options.
