As I write this, I'm only 1.5 hours in. I have explored a few VR archery games and, "Keep Defending" is one of my favorites, so far. The gameplay is fun and I love the aspect of a little bit of tower defense. The realism is so good that when you shoot your own minions/towers, THEY DIE. I screamed when I did that. I bought it for $2.39, on sale. Pros - •Relatively cheap •Fairly Smooth •Lots of enemies, but not too overwhelming (so far) Cons- •Teleports, but like many other archery games, it is a pain to use. It would be easier to have a button rather than to shoot the teleport site.
It's one of those early low-budget VR games that don't tend to age well. There are just too many better alternatives nowadays that look and play a lot better. The bow mechanics are poor, the tower defence mechanics are limited and "moving" (=teleporting) around is cumbersome. The graphics are highly stylized but not very pretty. Even for the low price, it's hardly worth your time.
Es macht Spaß auch wenn die Grafik eher Kindlich gehalten ist ich finde es sehr gelungen typisches Tower Def. in VR man kann Gefolgsleute kaufen und wie in Tower Def. üblich verteilen auf beschränkte Standplätze es gibt die Möglichkeit den Charakter zu Teleportieren oder seine Einheiten anderweitig zu unterstützen zauber andere Einheiten zur Unterstützung Es gibt Bosse auch wenn die bisher keine große Herausforderung waren ich würde es jedem VR Enthusiasten empfehlen für den Preis macht man nichts falsch 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑 🎉 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow [/url]
This is now my favorite VR game. I tend not to review much of anything, so this is a rarity for me. One thing that's underrated in this game as it's workaround potential. Loading the bow and shooting is a good trap workout (as long as you switch and shoot on both sides). I really enjoy it. It can be a little repetitive, but I love the challenge of shooting things until my arms fall off. There's some real strategy in this game too, especially at the later levels, when it comes to decisions of how to maximize score vs. protecting the gate vs. maximizing damage, etc... Props to the developer on this one.
Well, as a person who is quite new to VR gaming I find this game really well done. There are literally tons of games on the market, who use bow based combat and only few of those deliver something unique. Keep Defending is one of those unique ones. First of all - great level design. First level is misleading, as you start on regular plain. But later on - you're on a cliff, or on a high wall - defending gates. The cool thing about it is that you can buy units to support you (and place them to particular limited spots). And those units can be killed by baddies (or you - losing some precious score points). You can change your position by buying teleportation points. Hitting one of those with an arrow will teleport you to it. I've completed first three levels on my first playthrough and was covered with sweat and full of excitement. Great responsive controls, nice voxel graphics, variety of enemies and levels. Totally worth it. Cheers!
It runs smooth and stable, has some neat strategic ideas like being able to choose to place an NPC ally in certain locations, or keep those locations free for you to be able to teleport there. The graphics are standard voxel art, i'm not a huge fan. The biggest drawback, for me, is that the gameplay gets old real quick. The mobs come out in huge crowds - so you just need to rapid-fire volley shots into them - it's not so much about precision, as about getting as many arrows into the crowd as possible. It's very chore-like, and I don't feel the satisfaction of a well placed shot, like in some other VR Archery games. On top of that, the ally NPCs do minimal damage - or, for balancing reasons I'm sure, fire their weapons very very slowly, maybe once every 10 seconds? So, it's totally up to you to..... keep defending! All that being said, I got this in a bundle for what comes out to be $0.25... and at that price, I can't complain about the value. Thumbs: UP!
Not terrible but got old pretty fast.
I bought it on sale for 1.19 and totally worth it. Very simple, you have a bow and you pewpew , and you can buy some defenders to help you.
This is one of those games that you wish for then it happens and it fulfills all your wishes. I loved the archery game in the Lab but wanted more simple but harder with the ability to upgrade and move around. This game gives me all that and a great work out. Seriously if you like to shoot bows and arrows this is the game for you.
Wasn't expecting much when I got it. However, I was surprised by how good it was... is! It is definitely difficult which I'm sure will give me hours of something to work towards practicing my bow skills. Veryyyyy good for the price, nice simple game that works well. Highly recommend it. My arms are so dead after two separate sessions of an hour each as well. good little work out.
