The Tower

Lässt man mal die Grafik außen vor (die wirklich arg hässlich und lieblos ist), haben wir ein VR Spiel mit einer netten Idee, vollem Körpereinsatz und toll umgesetztem Room Scale. Meine Kuratorseite: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/30155555 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaW6pchOG5g

There is a stupid bug with the game. It tries to start "TheTowerVive.exe" which doesn't exist. Instead, it should be "The Tower Vive.exe" (wtf 1?). In order to solve this I had to duplicate both the exe and a data folder, without spaces in its names. Also, as soon as you start the game I get an error saying "verification failed", although I'm able to play (wtf 2?). There is also a nasty bug were you can fall into tho bottom for ever, never hitting the end (wtf 3?) Game is ok, although a little annoying.

HTC Vive BETA Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z4kkz2hCgY MY REVIEW: During the experience you move through the fairy-tale environment towards the top of the tower on a conveyor, encountering obstacles and traps, simultaneously trying to stay on the conveyor to avoid falling to your death. The gameplay involves avoiding these obstacles and traps, by leaning, ducking, dodging, to make it to the top of the tower. If you fail to do this you die, but are returned immediately back to the game to continue your journey to the top, deaths will simply affect your score. As you progress through the experience you will also encounter more obstacles typically associated with a tower such as canons and arrows being shot at you. Height is a factor in this game as you travel throughout the game from a high vantage point, and some of the obstacles will require you to swing and hold on to rails to avoid falling. The music is ominous to reflect the gameplay, and the environment is well designed as are the controls, leaving you with a fully immersive experience. A surprise awaits you at the top of the tower. Not for those afraid of heights, but would suit those looking to try an obstacle course or some different mechanics in an immersive and unique environment. *I plan to update this review shortly as new features have also been added now since this title was in beta!*

Although a very fun game and a bit of a work out, I had problems getting it to run. Said missing executable. Uninstall, re-installed. Didn't work. Browse to local folder I was able to run executable from there. I played on Rift. Discussions from others say they have head on floor issue; but, I did not. If you can get it on sale or in a bundle it really is fun. Finished in 30 minutes. Doubt I would replay but I think my kids would enjoy it.

Great Game for VR! - I hope to see more levels and maybe even some multiplayer courses in the future.

entertaining for 10 minutes, a regrettable purchase after your first playthrough

The Tower ist ein Hindernisparkur und versteht es, die roomscale Möglichkeiten, die VR bietet, gut umzusetzten. Allerdings finde ich dieses Spiel grafisch so schlecht in Szene gesetzt, das mir leider keine Immersion möglich ist. Ich hoffe, das empfinden nicht alle Spieler so, denn die eigentliche SpieIidee ist gut. Ich vergebe 4,5/10 Punkten allein für die Spielidee.

Unique experience. Weird issue with .exe and folder names where I had to manually rename them without the spaces to work. Its a fun on the rails gauntlet of blades, cannons, spikes, etc. Although once you've played it, the desire to play again is low. Somewhat short, full playthrough is about 1-1.5 hours depending on how agile you are I suppose. Worth throwing a few dollars at, or in a bundle (I got it from an Indiegala VR bundle).

Great Little game for VR. a playthrough will take 25-1hr depending on how you want to play your score.... good intro/demo experience fun party game possibly. First clear will take 1.5-2.5 hours probably I wish there was a dedicated menu somehwere... while not stricly necessary first time I started playing I launched from steam... rather than in vr home... and missed all the controls by the time I had my headset on etc. replayability is somewhat low though.

怎么玩啊？
