Snow Fortress Reviews

This game seemed like a no brainer for turning into a VR game, but it's unexpectly difficult. It's hard to throw accurate, more than 2 people attacking you is overwhelming, and achieving 3 star seems impossible since you dont know what the grading system is based on. So unless they improve on dodging or make a online multiplayer, like 1v1 or teams, I can't recommend this to anyone.

Very immersive, and very fun. At times i would be on the floor trying to hide behind any part of my snow fort that i had left. It gets progressively much harder throughout the levels, but still fun. I cant wait to see whats going to be added because right now it feels like a very polished game. For the price i would highly recommend.

Ive not played a great deal yet, but I havent found a Vive game that made me laugh or sweat quite as much as this. Well worth parting with 10 shiny dollars for. The mechanics are quite simple and it's very much WYSIWYG. But in its simplicity hides a legitimate fear of being smacked in the head by a ball of ice. The styling is lovely and the feel of throwing snowballs and manipulating the blocks to create forts is spot on. Some balancing probably required (v0.503 played) as it's quite difficult straight off the bat. Look forward to seeing where the developers take it.

Overall a really good game, lots of fun. It runs smoothly, takes advantage of VR, the throw mechanic feels really natural. I highly recommend you to try it. However, I do have some issues/proposals: [list] [*] The game ramps up in difficulty really fast. It took me 4 attempts to beat Level 3, the AI's aim is just too good too early on. Survival mode felt better, it allowed for more time to get used to the mechanics before it got harder. [*] Setting up your snowfort at the beginning of each level can be tedious. I'd like to be able to save templates and just load those, or at least reset the snowfort to your previous one for each level when you fail. [*] I wouldn't recommend this game if you have a standing-only placespace. Mine is rather small (1.6x2.2m) and the blocks to build the fort were at the edge of it. At one point I had to pull a lever that was placed outside my chaperone bounds by default. [*] So far, the game is lacking music. While it's appropriate if you want to simulate a snowfight, I feel like the game would benefit from quiet music in the background. [/list]

This is one of my favorite games on the Vive. It uses Room Scale perfectly and is quite exciting. Dodging snowballs and such is a blast. Hiding and firing around obstacles makes me REALLY want a paintball game.

That was a pretty fun little game. :) This would be a great multiplayer game. And you are gonna want to get kneepads, cause it gets intense in the winter of battle. Seems like the only thing really missing is some of the audio.

There is a multitude of Fun to be had with Virtual Snow: Blocks that fit together nicely, Snowballs that do not freeze your hands, the ability to Sling the balls, plus quickly formed Snowballs & Blocks. Experiences such as this one, give me that feeling of Play & Excitement, that the Youth in me enjoys, as well as a Challenge that Invigorates the body (I look forward to trying to best, the best Survival Scores) Some of the Audio Levels could use a little tweaking, or tweak-ability There were a couple of points where my Computer Setup had trouble processing what comes next, but I assume that those are bugs which can be taken care of A few of the Levels were a little easy (especially when the Snowman runs away scared, from its Fort... haha) I have saved Level 12 for later, I am sure I can take it... maybe? Those Snowpeople sure can Throw potently sometimes, so much so, that it feels a little off, or that they may have Slingshots as well? The Voice Acting was excellentThere is defiantly something here, and many Possibilities, I hope this Game can continue to advance, and receive some helpful Feedback from the Steam Community, to grow the Fun & Enjoyment this Title brings Very entertaining to watch others Play Snow Fortress! I can Imagine the toughness of the new Levels, and it is Test of my Ability that I welcome Thank you for giving me that Snow Play, without the Cold or Exhaustion of creating Forts, Tools and Projectiles

Great game so far. Immersive, intuitive, challenging and fun. Needs more content and balancing, in the best case MP, but the foundation is very promissing! @Devs: Keep up the good work! @Vivers: Highly recommended!

This is a really cute little game with nice graphics. Like others, I'd like to see a few more levels / challenges. Also, I wish there was a way to automatically generate your fort. Perhaps there could be an option to use the fort you built from the previous stage? It actually gets a little annoying to have to build a new fort each time. Otherwise, a great game (especially for kids) with a very small learning curve.

I'm still laughing at the 36 year old crawling over the floor, trying to hide behind the ruins of his once mighty snowfortress, dodging snowballs in 21° C. That's right me! I'm looking at you!
