I didn't realize how much of this was being an archer when I bought it. I don't think I would have bought it if I knew, but I'm glad I made that mistake. This game has been a lot of fun and I enjoy the levels a lot. I have beat all but the last level on easy, and am looking forward to playing more and raising the difficulty on all the levels. The docks is my favorite! Definitely worth full price. If you get it at a discount its a steal.

I got with a 70% discount and i am happy with it. Graphics obviously arent great but they are bareable, the bow is fun.
But read how to play first otherwise you wont know what to do like me.

Just finished playing my first hour of this game and I can truly say this is extremely enjoyable.
This is no short of genius, extremely entertaining but of course improvements could be made.
Online multiplayer would be extremely fun, graphics could be improved.
Would love to be able to purchase a more powerful arrow.
If I could go down and start shooting enemies would also make the game a lot of fun.
For the price I paid this is the highest value I have a recieved on HTC Vive.
Developer please keep up the good work, and add some more levels

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!

On Arch Linux on Valve Index on ValveVR 2.8.6 on an Nvidia 2080, this is... good. I found the second level a huge increase in difficulty but perhaps there are other easier levels I can skip to - I didn't try yet and just wanted a quick archery game to show the kids.
I think the arrows move too slowly, by maybe 50%, and I didn't even notice the tower defense options. But this is the first archery game I got working and it is nicely programmed. I will definitely persevere with it and recommend it.

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.

It was good while it lasted. Awesome take on tower defense with archery.
I'll keep it installed for others to play around with, I enjoyed the 5 or so hours it gave me. Worth $5, even more worth it if it goes on sale.

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.

This is a very simple bow and arrow game for VR. The enemies are quite simple, the maps are quite simple, the gameplay is simple. You shoot arrows at enemies, and you can build a few (very simple) units to guard or attack. This is a great example of being able to judge a book by its cover, lol. That said, it's a lot of fun, for what it is.
However, the game is monotonous at a certain point. To 100% the game you need to beat every level on every difficulty, which is dumb, when every other game lets you get all achievements for winning on the highest difficulty. It's a pointless grind.
The worst part of the game BY FAR is how this makes your arms feel. You must keep shooting constantly in order to win. The aiming is kind of subpar compared to other games, but even if it was good, you'd still need to spam out arrows as quickly as possible. This means that, if you want to win a level, you're keeping your arms outstretched for like 10-15 minute chunks. I feel physically terrible each time I finish playing this game.
All that said, this is still a good little indie game, and it's a fun bow and arrow type game, and I'm having fun with it.
