Woeful Woebots

Super polished teleport to different predefined areas shooter, has a great Asian pop culture feel to it. Just lacking content with only 2 maps and can get repetitive fast. With more content, this could be great but at the moment it's just another good wave shooter with super polished graphics and arcade gameplay. If you're into beating high scores like space pirate trainer then this could be for you, but if you're after story and differing gameplay then give this a miss. Recommended for high score hunters.

Pretty good game. Not much to it really, but lots of fun for a couple hours alone and longer with friends competing with each other. Good to see that it does get updates with new modes and features. Only took me an hour or so to be #1 on the Steam leaderboard for all three current modes. ;)

Woeful Woebots is a terrific VR arena shooter. The quality of the product is fantastic and it is extremely well priced at $10 Basically you are located out side the headquarters of the robotics corporation where the robots have all gone mad. They appear in waves and you need to shoot them western style with your futuristic revolvers before they shoot you. The arenas have floating targets scattered around and shooting one will teleport you to that destination. There are also some power-ups and bombs you can use to help. It's mostly about the high score leader boards and it's great fun to play. It offers four levels/arenas the only problem is the levels are hidden, meaning you need to select them from the start menu and this is not clear. It's very often overlooked to the point that I had written a review complaining about it having only one level. I checked the store page like I always do before posting it and saw it had 4? So I re-wrote the review saying it had 4 levels but it was a shame you had to fight to them and they weren't selectable. Then I read a few other reviews like I always do before posting it and saw another review by a person who said he played the first level to 34000 thinking that was it because another level never kicked in until he found them hidden in the start menu!?? So there we have it! Everything I wanted of the game but hidden in the start menu. It's a shame I didn't know this when I was making the video. So in summary this game is great quality and fantastic to play but you need to know about the hidden level selection if you want to get the most fun from it. It's also extremely well priced at $10. Take a look at my video and see for yourself ... https://youtu.be/-Juu8YQLb-s Thanks for watching, please like, subscribe and comment.

Woeful Woebots ist ein Waveshooter im Comic-Style (getestet mit der HTC Vive) Unsere Aufgabe ist es möglichst viele gegnerische Roboter auszuschalten ehe wir unser letzes von 5 Leben verwirkt haben. Dafür stehen uns zu Beginn 2 Pistolen zur Verfügung. Haben wir sie leer geschossen schmeißen wir sie einfach weg und greifen aus unseren Holstern an der Hüfte neue. In der Map sind noch diverse andere Waffen verteilt und es gibt noch Bomben zum Werfen. Durch die Map bewegen wir uns, indem wir auf Zielscheiben schießen, zu denen wir uns dann automatisch teleportieren. Neben den 3 Standard-Karten gibt es noch ein Level, in dem Wände auf uns zukommen und wir Lücken freischießen müssen, damit wir nicht zermatscht werden. Die Grafik ist im Großen und Ganzen in Ordnung, wenn auch nicht berauschend. Die Steuerung funktioniert recht ordentlich, eine neue Waffe ist schnell gezogen und auch das Teleportieren zu den Zielscheiben geht reibungslos. Das Spiel lief auch durchgehend flüssig. Allerdings ist die KI der Gegner sehr beschränkt, sie bleiben gelegentlich mal hängen und verhalten sich auch ansonsten nicht wirklich herausfordernd. Ziel ist es natürlich, möglichst viele Punkte zu schaffen um sich im globalen Scoreboard zu verewigen. Diesmal kann ich wirklich nur meine persönlich Meinung wiedergeben. Obwohl das Spiel keine grundlegenden Bugs oder ähnliches hat kann ich es für den Preis leider nicht empfehlen. Das Teleportsystem gefällt mir nicht, das Waffenhandling ist auch eher durchschnitt und zu dem Preis bekommt man in dem Genre sicher bessere Spiele. Wem das Konzept zusagt kann ruhig zugreifen, das Spiel läuft und macht auch keine Zicken, aber der Gesamteindruck ist einfach, dass es besseres zu dem Preis gibt. Eine neutrale Wertung wäre eigentlich gerechtfertigt... Gruß Ziffi Ziffi´s Spieletipps als Kurator: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/5837414/

VR | GTX 1060 Gameplay (With Commentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuNqRT74zXY My Thoughts: For an early access game this has a lot of potential, however I would still like to see a lot more variety in levels, weapons and power-ups. You can watch the video above for my 1st impressions. Game Details: Your robot creations have turned against you! As their master you have to destroy every single one of them before they do something strikingly similar to you! Grab your guns from your super high-tech hips and blast your way through their filthy electronic meat!

This wave shooter style game has great potential. Funky soundtrack is great, art style is great, grip mechanic for the guns works nicely, shoot to teleport is innovative and fun. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes...

This game has very good potential. I cannot recommend it at the $9.99 suggested price, however, I recommend it on sale at $4.99. It may be worth $9.99 in the future, but it isn't right now. There is only one map. There is only 1 type of gun. There are really only 3 enemy types (although there's like stronger versions of each one) which is basically regular soldier, sniper, and tank robot. I think there may be 7 or 8 teleportation targets that you can shoot to move away from heavy fire or to get the drop on enemies. There's several cover barriers and you can dodge bullets. This game has a lot of polish as the gunplay is very responsive and the shoot a target to teleport is very quick and strategic to do. However, you will get bored after about 20 minutes of playing. Going past waves just seem like more enemies versus new tactics or gameplay. This game needs to add a lot more maps, guns, and enemy types to really be worth the target price. I am only recommending this game if the dev keeps updating it. So basically buy this game if you like the idea and want to take a chance on the dev supporting this game to make it have value. Rate 5/10 very tepid recommendation at the moment, being hopeful that this game will be supported

It's great work done by one man, but unfortunately it's also the reason I don't recommend the game. I played it for 16 mins. and have already seen all it has to offer. €9,99 is just waaay to high for that amount of playtime. Next... the game was released... and then the guy clearly went off to do something else. The game has some clear usability issues that could have been discovered via player testing, and there are tons of ways the game could have small improvements.... but the developer is gone. It's a four level wave shooter, and the levels are ok. What breaks the game is a terrible reload mechanic. Throw away your gun and grab a new one... sounds good, but works terrible. It's almost like pressing the grip-buttons twice should do the job, but it does not really. The movement mechanic. is also terrible. It requires you to shoot at specific targets, and then moves to to that place. Sounds fine, but... Since the reloads are terrible, and you need ammo to move, this leads to problems. Also, sometimes in a gunfights you hit those targets and move when you did not intend to. Both could be fixed easily: Reloads could be done like EVERY ONE ELSE, by simply pointing the guns downward. It works, why do it different? Movement could then be switched to the grip buttons or something, which would fix the other problem. tl;dr; Great graphics, poor gameplay.

Absolut stumpfer und langweiliger Standard-Waveshooter mit keinerlei Innovationen. Spiele, die die VR-Welt nicht mehr braucht, schon gar nicht für 10€. Da gibt es besser und günstigere Wave-Shooter.

This game has potential but a few odd bits happening. As you enter the arena, turn left and shoot the target. Move over there and there is another target on the other side of the building - giving you a good shooting vantage point of that straight road. But you shoot it and it's like the bullet hits a wall in front of the target (there is nothing there). A robot came running around the corner and was standing in front of it shooting me but - again - I couldn't hit him. That sucked. I'm not sure if there is a way of reloading the guns but it appears to be you just drop the guns and then grab another from your hip. This would be better if you got to reload the gun. There is no multiplayer but this game could work really well with it. X amount of players start on the screen with x amount of health. Last man standing. This could be a fun game to play with friends. Whilst there are a few teething issues, this seems to be a good take on a wave game. I like that you can shoot targets to move around the map and that also stops from motion sickness. It also saves you standing in one place which is so boring nowadays. It's good that you can dodge bullets by ducking and weaving too. The price, as it stands is, okay. I didn't pay the full price (20% off) and - as it stands - I'm happy to keep this on my system and keep playing it to see what else they bring to it. I just hope that they do keep working on it.
