V ARRR

Not worth $15. It s a good game but its not a $15 game. I enjoyed it and I like the idea behind the game. But it is very hard to look at... the visuals are SNES in VR. The enimies are not animated. Not a lot of effort went into making this game for me to recommend spending more than $5 on it. Usually I support VR games even if its not that great but I am not supporting this one for $15. I will be asking steam for a refund.

This is a pretty fun game so far, I just beat the Easy mode, which is 12 'days'. Each day, you fight a stronger enemy pirate ship. You have a rifle, which you aim with two hands, and a brace of pistols, with one shot each. At the start, you can only take a single hit, and use a power called Focus (basically, bullet time) with a long cooldown. You also have crates you can move around, hide behind, and throw, as well as explosive barrels and other things eventually. After each day's battle, you are rewarded with gold and possibly an ability. You can take the gold to the Shop, and buy upgrades for you and your equipment (buy a better ship with more on it, upgrade weapons, or how many hits you can take, etc) These are definitely important because the health of the enemies and amounts that show up each day increases, and the pirate that took 1 shot to kill a few days ago, might take 3 without upgrading your weapons. After you beat easy mode, you unlock Hard Mode and the 100 Pirate War...

Pretty good actually. I can finally live out my fantasy and fight pirates and sail the seas. all in VVV RRRRRRRRG MATEY! now is it worth 14.99? well probably not... and certainly not 20 bucks...but I guess that depends on how bad you want to pwn pirates..:-) keep it up devs!

I found this game to be somewhat refreshing. We've been getting lots of "defense" type games, but V ARRR changes it up a bit (pirates instead of zombies?). While the animations are a little clunky and the gameplay is still in need of a bit of polish, I still found it pretty okay (and exhausting!). I do hope some sort of co-op/multiplayer gets implemented! ...and swords! BUT... Can I recommend it at $14.99, as it is? Eh, not really... I probably would for around half of that.

So far this looks like an Early Access title, but released as a full game. I gave it two chances today (relatively short, looking at my play time), however at the end of the day I decided to get a refund. There are games which look bad, but make this up with gameplay. Here, unfortunately, it was not the case for me. Mediocre models, bad animations, really not much fun. Not to mention, some of the options in game look like some debugging-era leftovers, which were never changed into something more user-friendly (switching graphical settings with +/-? seriously? I have to take off my headset to switch graphical options in the game?). I tried to force myself and play the game further, but couldn't. This game needs lots of polish before being worth 15 EUR (not to mention, without the discount it is worth 20 EUR). The concept is kinda cool, the execution is bad. The game feels incomplete and looks like it was quickly done to catch up with new VR market. Maybe I'll go back to it if develope...

Only played an hour at the time of this review but having real fun. The gun mechanics are pretty solid. The shotgun is acurate if you aim down the site. Pistols are great with a spin over reload. Good upgrades to weapons and aids. For me i think for the price this is well worth it. Especially as there are good updates coming as well. Its one of thoses games which is fun especially if you like the pirate theme

"The content since release is almost doubled and it was cool to work on the game even after release. I would love to create even more content for V ARRR but since I have to pay my bills that is not possible for me to do. I hope you understand, I need to create new things to make a living :) Thanks for playing, Thomas - Blackjard Softworks" I can not recommend this game for anyone to buy. Mostly due to the above comment from the developer, and the too high price tag for the content that is available.

I often view Vive games in order of "User Reviews" and I must say that this one deserves a higher spot. While the visuals leave much to be desired, the game does a lot to distinguish itself from the other "wave shooters". You can upgrade everything (guns, boat, abilities), you can create cover for yourself and there are different modes to enjoy. Give this one a try! It's one of the deeper shooters on the Vive right now.

Ahoy Me harties! Firstly - V ARRR is actually quite a fun game and as close as your going to get currently to actually being a pirate - go check it out guys. As an early release with lots of room to improve, i'd reccomend it! It's basically a wave based game, where you defend your ship against other pirates - gets a lot harder, i got to day 10 and died. In between each wave you get a chance to buy upgrades to your weapons and ship but to get there, you have to look down at your feet where you will see some rope and some text which states "Jump to Shop" - however, this doesn't mean to actually jump, as i did - repeatadly - thinking that the game is broken as it's not porting me when i'm jumping. It simply means you need to bend down and grab the rope to jump the shop. I'm 16 stone in weight and was jumping up and down whilst my fiancee was laughing insanely at me.

I actually really REALLY enjoy this game. It feels like being inside Zelda Windwaker. The lite rpg elements are a welcome addition to the "gallery shooter" concept that many devs are tapping for the Vive right now. You can upgrade things like your health, reaction time (eseentially slowing time right before your hit with a bullet so you can dodge), your weapons and your ship. After beating the game on easy I wish there was a way to farm more treasure, which can only be done currently by completing missions. On your second play through the difficulty is cranked up and upgrades become more expensive which makes for a drastic difficulty change. As a result your unable to progress if you've upgraded the wrong way. I am looking forward to the planned updates and really wish there was a way to travel around and focus on maxing out all of my gear and abilities. I personally am fine with the $14.99 price that I paid, not sure that it's worth $20 as the content is currently light. But th...
