If you have "The Lab" then this game hardly adds anything of interest to archery combat that you don't get there and the controllers response feels nicer in The Lab.

This game is really hard! The bowmen are like level 1000 mega-bosses... and probably a little too accurate initially, but I really like where this is going. It's more affordable than Quivr if you want to get your bow and arrow game on!

Interesting game! When you start buying upgrades the game really starts to shine -- I like the variety of tools/upgrades you get in order protect your castle, like bombs, and a tool to slap all the ladders off in a hurry.
When the bowmen start shooting you it gets really intense, and you find yourself jumping and swaying back-and-forth and counter-attacking with your arrows in all directions -- I can honestly say I have never had an experience like that -- very Robin-Hood esque!

I can't believe I wasted $4.79 USD on this game and I'm outside the refund period. Ugh! This game is terrible. Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst game in VR. It has a nice concept. With the laddermen coming up on the tower and battering rams. And you can get all these upgrades, like your own personal healer or boiling oil. That's all very good stuff and shows that they were trying to differentiate themselves from other bow games.
However, two things keep this game from being any good. The biggest problem is the bow mechanic. It's not the worst, but it is subpar. It feels like you're shooting a nerf bow. You get used to it eventually, but it just never feels satisfying. The bow & arrow feels better in the Lab.
The second thing is the graphics. They are laughably bad. What's the point of VR if things are just going to look this bland and generic and ps2 level graphics? Whoever came up with these assets, 3D models, needs to never do it again. I'm pretty sure if you gave me a month to work on it, I can come up with something better, and I'm not a good artist.
So I'm stuck with this game. But don't make the same mistake I did. Do NOT buy. Out of all the archery games on Steam VR, this is not the worst, but it's in the bottom half or bottom third.
Rate 4/10. Another E.A., Early Abandonment.
