Grab this for a bargain and it's worth a look. There's no reason to go out of your way to play this, it's fun enough but there is better stuff out there.

It's a fun collection of 5 boss battles that took me 51 mns to get all the gold stars. You can get three stars per colossus. One for finishing, one for not getting hit, and one that is boss specific. Seeing as how I never died, it's a wee bit on the easy side.
You have a wand that fires in your right hand, and a sword in your left. There is a boss that you teleport between two spots but other than that it's roomscale. You hit the boss in the weak spots and dodge it's attacks by stepping left or right or ducking in one case. Mana for the staff is limited, but refilled by shooting potions that drop from the sky.

Allow me to preface this with: I'm a huge Shadow of the Collosus fan.
The design and bosses of this game are clearly inspired from SoC.
The voice acting is terrible, and when I first loaded into the main hub, I was disappointed. It looked cheap; muddy textures, cheap sounds, etc. But then I loaded up the first boss fight.
Oh my god.
Visually, it could be better, but to see the scale of something I knew was about to try and kill me got me all giddy inside. Shortly put- it was f*cking awesome! The game is way too easy, and the narrator holds your hand too much, but it was still super fun to fight these massive enemies.
Pros:
-The scale. Holy sh*t dude.
-Fully roomscale. I love this.
-The sense of danger, even though the game was easy.
-Low price.
Cons:
-Bad graphics.
-HUD is hard to read.
-Voice acting is dreadful
-Too easy, and the whole game kinda feels like a tutorial.
Unfortunately, it left me wanting more. Not necessarily from this game, but I hope someone can make a game where we can actually climb on the enemies!

i change my evaluation because to fix the problem with the oculus rift here how to do :
you open the steam vr , in the steam library , you select the folder of the game and in the folder of the game you see the exe click on properties after this you select compatibility and you put windows 7 and you click on apply after this in steam you click on play on vr on this game and normally all will be normal no upside down
so my review , it is a nice game , the giant are cool and the magic effects well done

As a massive fan of Shadow of the Colossus this VR game had me intrigued. It's pretty much the same concept. Slay sky-high Colossus, each with different weak spots and attacks.
It's a great price, pretty cruisy game, enjoyable experience, bit of replay value completing the special objectives. I thought it was cool given VR and it's limitations!
I really liked the variety in Colossus. One has you on top of it up in the sky, really cool!
You can check out my Let's Play if you need any more convincing!

This was fun and innovative, i wish it was longer and with more of an evolving story. However its worth the price. Honestly i felt like Kratos in the god war. Developer's dont deprive the world on what could be a one of a kind experience, add narrative and make this an rpg.

Graphics were pretty nice. But needs gameplay improvements. Too predictable, too formulaic and repetitive, and not challenging. Most importantly, not exciting. You've got good models, but they don't move enough, or in varied or convincing ways. I assume this is a WIP though, so hopefully it will be better futher on in development. For now, I can't recommend it.

Colossus boss fighting game. It is one of those games that will grow on you the more you play. For cheap it is worth a buy. This game may not be for everyone but I am still giving it a thumbs up for creativity value of the game and decent graphics. You have a sword and wand to use. There are "mana" regen crystals that fall to shoot for regen and soft spots on monsters to hit with a sword and the magic. You have to dodge attacks also. There is a hardcore mode now where one hit kills you. It is quite immersive as you feel like you are really there and it does make use of the room scale space of the VIVE which is a plus. This is worth supporting. More colossus would be welcomed. 6/10 for the simple but interesting idea in VR.
Video of first play. Enjoy.

I got it for $2.99. Beat it in less than half an hour and will not ask for a refund. Same price as a pack of gum so I don't feel cheated.

"Beat" the game in like 15 minutes it was an overall boring experience. It did the bare minimum to utilize what is special about VR, would whole heartedly not recommend.
