Cool twist on the wave-based shooters that are currently flooding the market. The blade mechanic works great, and the monster designs are creppy and original. + it makes you feel like a badass monster slayer.

I finished on normal in under an hour. Hard mode seems to ramp the challenge up. It's not an endless wave shooter, there is a final boss at the end. Fun game, good price. Edit: Finished hard mode in about 2 hrs. Definitely gave me a workout.
Playable and entartaining. Simple but sharp graphics.
This game freaks me out, one of the few Vive games where I freaked out. Game needs more content and Visualization though.
I'm really surprised this game hasn't had more feedback. Its great! Very fun. Very good workout. The physics of throwing the glaive are not easy at first. It actually takes timing and skill. Once I finally got the hang of throwing it overhand, then underhand, it really makes a difference. This is definitely the best under $5 VR game so far.
While the game works fine, it's repetitive and barely increments on its premise: throw the Glaive. You end up with one tired arm (your other arm is worthless), a twisted up VR headset cable, and very little sense of accomplishment.
Fun game, and so cheap it's hard to pass up! Throwing the glaive takes some skill... but once you get the hang of it, you fall into a monster-slaying rhythm that makes you feel bad ass! Fairly short, I beat it the first time through in half an hour. Medium replay-ability - I don’t see why I wouldn’t come back now and again to slice some fools :)
This game is fun. That much should be known. I can easily see someone paying a dollar to play this game at a VR arcade one time, so the price is beyond great. There are only a few things that I wish were different. For starters, you only get one weapon. In my opinion, having two vive controllers would only make sense to allow the player to have two weapons to fight off the hordes. A simple mistake that takes A LOT away from this title. The controls are a little peculiar, too. The grip button AND the trigger allow you to throw the glaive. This was only a problem to me while I was adjusting my controller grip to better attack the enemies. Making that matter worse, there are no options to adjust this. Actually, there are no settings at all. Apart from these flaws, the game is immersive, creepy and has you checking your six constantly when you hear those creatures approaching. It uses a unique lighting system also that will definitely add to your paranoia when you see something out of the ...
It just isn't fun. Cleared two waves of this snore fest... and moved along.
Yet another wave shooter but with a new-ish formula and a creepy setting. It's fun especially if you were a Krull fan.
