Cowbots and Aliens Reviews

Here is my first time gameplay video: https://youtu.be/b_tOrTyu5rE I also review other VR games on my channel: www.youtube.com/rpatenaude I abosolutely love this game! The graphics are great and the gameplay is very smooth and fun! Weapons physics worked really well for me. Would love to see more levels as well as more players. I was in a game with some people for a couple of minutes then after was unable to find anyone else to play with for some time. The game type selection showed all the player counts as zero which made me sad. I eventually did find a 1 on 1 game with someone which was super fun! I SAY BUY THIS GAME!!!

I'm 43 minutes into this game and whilst there isn't much to it - what there is, is fun. It reminds me a little of Smashbox Arena (please note: that is a superior game) in the way it plays (movement) and the guns all seem to be on point with aiming. I would like to see more maps and more weapons though and - at the moment - it is fairly quiet online. Thankfully you can set yourself up with some bots so at least you have a game to play even if there is no one else around.

A fun team shooter game where chairs are both decent weapons and impromtu shields. It's a great bar brawl, with lots of random items around for fun, frantic gameplay

Gimmicky outdated VR shovelware with dead multiplayer. This is not worth buying. There is nothing here except barebones gunplay and janky physics. Make this game $0.99 or take it down.

Excellent mechanics and very immersive. Jumping into a room, flipping a table and ducking behind it for cover, picking up a bottle and smashing it on the bar, leaning around a wall to peek into a room; it all works very intuitively. Had a lot of fun playing it against the bots as well. It does need some more levels, weapons, etc. (it is early access), but the core mechanic is very solid. Highly recommended.

Played this game with a couple of friends and it was a lot of fun! Most of which was derived just from screwing around in and around the bar. The game modes are fun though and the shooting feels really good. Melee weapons are a bit hard to throw and don't grab by the hilt unless you pick it up the right way. The graphics are charming and fit the game very well, and if you have friends to play with it provides for an entertaining sandbox to screw around in.

It's easily the most fun i've had in a VR multiplayer game. The only downside is, that the playerbase is basically zero so finding a random opponent will most likely not happen. Just gather your friends and enjoy well-refined multiplayer. This game receives my seal of approval and recommendations.

Play Horseshoes in VR in the lobby! It's fun. It's one of those pickup and play games that anybody can play. I thought it was a 1v1 game but to my surprize there was a bunch of people roaming around the lobby. We ended up playing a 4v4 match. You do have to change your "region" depending on the time of day.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my video here: nope, doing a video would only show how out-dated the game really is I don't know why Chicken Waffle / Wizard Games Inc. are releasing this now on December 24, 2023. This is a game you de-list from Steam, not release out of Early Access. This was a good VR game back in 2017. There weren't very many good online multiplayer pvp shooters in VR back then and in this one you could pick up knives, beer bottles, etc. and throw them or even pick up a chair and block stuff with it. It was innovative. However, now in 2023, this game is out-dated and nobody is playing it. Although it has full locomotion (with smooth & snap turning options), you really have to use teleport. Enemies can simply teleport their way out of danger so you have to wait until they land in their teleport landing spot as there is a delay to when they can teleport again. The gun mechanics are all very simple. They have awful toy-like sights, and they have no punch whatsoever, plus they have slow auto-reloads as well. As you may have guessed, the TTK is very slow. The maps are not well designed. You'll get stuck in between objects (so you'll have to teleport). The spawn points are bad. While in its heyday of early 2017 VR it was near the top of pvp shooters, now it would be near the bottom. It does have bots and it has different game modes. So you can try it out by yourself, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're playing with your friends and there is lots of booze involved.

Cowbots & Aliens is a multiplayer saloon brawler set in an old-western town filled with Robots and Aliens. It's an absolute blast and does a lot of things beautifully that other VR games fail miserably at. If you like the Paintball mode in Rec Room, but are left wanting a lot more, this game is for you. First of all, the physics in this game are absolutely fantastic. Most VR games suck when it comes to object collisions, but C&A nails it. Every object reacts realistically, and there are tons of objects to interact with. You can flip over tables for cover, grab chairs and use them as a shield until they break apart, then use one of the broken off chair legs as a weapon, or just chuck shot glasses and broken bottles. Of course there's guns too, but the improvised weapons are a lot more fun. You can open every door and move anything on a hinge, even bash someone's head in with the flip-up counter. It's all totally intuitive. There's lots of fun objects, like a piano, horshoes, and a card table, and you can use almost anything as a weapon. You can stack objects on top of each other realistically as well, and even pick up big objects by using both hands. It's a lot of fun just to play around with the physics and see what's possible. The multiplayer is brilliantly implemented and the different game modes are all really fun as well. There's FFA, Team Deathmatch, "No Guns" and "Gold rush" which has two teams fighting over a bunch of gold bars. The "lobby" is a little western town with a tiny saloon and often has more people brawling than the actual game modes themselves, it's a great place to hang out and chat with people, or break a bottle over somebody's head and start a fight. The art style I think speaks pretty well for itself, but like many VR games, it looks a lot better than screen shots give it credit. Personally, I love the cartoony old-west/sci-fi mashup style, and all the little details on all the Robots and Aliens like smoking pipes and taped-on mustaches are really funny. This game can only get better as more people start playing and Devs continue to update and add more. Thanks Devs for such a fun VR game, can't wait to see more content in the future!
