Twisted Arrow

This is NOT a wave shooter, it's closer to Bullet Sorrow but with a distinctive art style . Much bigger play area too as you move through a city, sometimes atop cranes or battling it out on top of a skyscraper with armed drones and choppers dropping troops in front of you. There's multiple 'travel points' to choose from and cover like cars and storage containers (lots of destructible scenery) and i thought the movement model suits the game. It's well enough done that you can stake out an area without being 'dropped into it' without any cover. Unlike say Metal Assault, if you have a large play area you can use plenty of space for cover. This is a bow game and thankfully the bow feels really good. Plus there are bow options on the settings menu so you can customise angle etc. Different arrows can make things easier and there are scattered health and energy pickups. I really enjoyed this and it's a delight to play a VR title that's so polished, you can tell these guys have made games ...

This one is truly a hidden gem. Unlike most other bow & arrow games that are either tower defense or wave shooters, Twisted Arrow is a bow & arrow game where you're moving through several very different levels, using different arrows (explosive/freeze/trap/split/regular) to get rid of a variety of enemies. The level of polish is quite high as this comes from the same devs that made Final Approach so it's not a lone dev working in his spare time and it shows. Graphics are quite good and the feel of the bow is nailed perfectly, to me it feels very much like QuiVR but moving through the levels is where it's at. I had concerns about the movement system but after playing for about half hour I understood the design choices and they really built the game around them very well. If you enjoy bow & arrow games, definitely try this one.

It was fun at first, but quickly got really annoying having to start whole mission from the begining each time I die. I didn't like the aproach of having preset teleport points becasue it makes the game a lot harder for those with small playspaces, as sometimes you just can't step to the side and take cover as intended becase you'd be walking into a real life wall, and then you're forced to face a whole army without any cover... and frankly gameplay just isnt designed to allow for rambo style play as once you got few enemies shooting at you and youre out of shield, your only option is run in circles if you got a huge playspace or teleport back and wait 5 minutes for your health and energy to regen. There were a couple of moments in gameplay where I'd get ambushed from behind by a group of enemies, which meant death unless I played the level before and knew where and when enemies were gonna ambush me. This would be okay if dying was a 30 sec setback, in stead of a 5-10 minute one. The...

Great game. Lot of fun. Graphics look good. Bow mechanics work well. Nice choice of arrow types. Would love to see them add more arrow types in the future that could be chosen on the trackpad from your bow hand. Turning the bow at a 90 degree angle to use the shield takes some getting used to but adds to the challenge. You can't shoot and use the shield at the same time. I only played the first level so far but am looking forward to playing more. Well worth the price especially while it's discounted at $15 right now. Feels very polished and is definitely one of the better bow and arrow games out there. For those thinking this is a wave shooter, it's not. It's kind of like Bullet Sorrow or Robo recall where you can point and teleport to different spots. Not that linear though. There are a number of places to teleport to on any given map. Some people will not like it if they are completely expecting free locomotion but it works well with this kind of game. If you could mo...

Hard Mode + No Shield Gameplay https://youtu.be/AiwtA6-T_D4 This is one of the best games Ive played for the Vive. Absolutely outstanding! The gameplay is exactly the kind of thing Ive been hoping for. You will need room scale in this game to duck and dodge behind things. Ive played two levels so far, Ive been playing on hard difficulty and not using the shield. Instead using the environment for cover, and its been so much fun. On hard the difficulty is pretty intense, bullets fly fast, and you will need to plan ahead to make it through some sticky situations. I cant wait to jump back in and try playing some more. I highly suggest this game if you have the roomscale to play it.

Well-polished arcade style bullet hell bow game. The bow mechanics are solid, and the fixed-teleportation areas actually work really well with the game. The 6 different arrow types (that you always have access to via energy levels) all add a great feel to combat, and this was one of the games I actually got into ducking and dodging for. Even at medium difficulty, this game has had a few challenging stages, and it's been satisfying to continue retrying levels to increase accuracy and score. At the sale price of $5, this was one of my best valued purchases this summer sale for sure.

This game deserves a lot more attention than it is currently getting. Very fun and extremely polished. Glad I picked this one up!

I've only played the first level, but I can already tell you this is a fun experience. Time Crisis meets Bullet Sorrow with an advanced ultra high tech Bow/Arrow. This is NOT a wave shooter, you actually have missions that require to teleport up/dowon structure, alley ways, corridors and court yards. Worth the price, the audio is pretty good, adding to the intensity. They put some quality work into this project. On sale as of this posting, don't hesitate. The only negative is not due to the game itself, but rather the visual constraints of the technology as it relates to the HMD, particularly when it comes to the enemies at a distance appearing slightly pixelated. This is the same dev team that created Final Approach, which is fun a unique vr experience in and of itself.

TL;DR - Solid single player game if you don't mind fixed location teleport. ---------------- One of those VR games that's debatibly a Must Have purchase. Inexpensive well polished single player game that stands out from other wave defense archery titles. This is not another Longbow clone this is a full game. You actually move (teleport) to different positions and progress through a level. Don't just stay in one place. Inclusing some decent story/reasons why you are completing various objectives. (Teleport, not free movement.) Nice variety of arrows and limited energy giving some tactical choices regarding when to use the more expensive toys like explosive arrows. It's not perfect, as sometimes the enemies get unreasonably confused by your teleporting, and the lack of a checkpoint system means you are better off playing on easy if replaying a nearly finished level bothers you. Compared to other more expensive must have VR games like Raw Data, Arizona Sunshine, and Serious Sam, this...

Like being trapped inside a mediocre PS one game or mobile game. Everything is so rough around the edges and clunky, I could forgive this on a mobile phone but standing there being immersed in the world you can quite literally see the the the seams on the textures which look like they where lifted from Google, photoshopped for 10 minutes then slapped on a model and called done. Models and animation are terrible. The bow mechanics are equally "that will do". If this game where half the price it would be ok, but at the current price it is another VR rip off title.
