About This Game

Children of Colossus is a VR action game for HTC Vive. The player will challenge 5 different colossus to win the opportunity for human's development. All the player can rely on are one wand and one sword, he must move or squat to dodge the attack of colossus, and take chance to attack the colossus weakness.

Since the beginning of primitive era, human and colossus lived together. As the guardian of human, colossus helped mankind to resist the invasion and attack from natural disasters, flood, beasts and dark monsters.

With the improvement of natural conditions, human race grew stronger. Once as the guardian, colossus now has become the obstruction of human's development because of their excessive consumption of natural resources.

Human race wants to develop, colossus must be killed.

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.

Gameplay: https://youtu.be/jdGan9G3BbM Children of Colossus is an action game. The gameplay involves battling 5 different colossus. Unfortunately, this game has nice graphics and a great concept but the gameplay is lacking and needs a lot of improvements. The game is repetitive and tedious to play, and lacks the excitement that you would expect from a game such as this. The game is not challenging it simply requires you to persist in repeating a series of movements in order to avoid taking damage and return repetitive attacks at the colossus enough times to defeat them. Overall, a disappointing game as the gameplay is very limited and there is no replay value.

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.

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. https://youtu.be/MYve0o6n_bM

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! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I2EswvoRug

SOoooo... it isn't the best VR game out there. Honestly it feels like a really nice demo for something cooler. And the voice acting.. the horrible voice work is painful to the ears!!! Yet, the graphics are pretty good, and it is a novel concept. Therefore, for $5, why not. It is an interesting experience.

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. VIRTUO'MEGA

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.

In my opinion this game needs to be a Bundle or Pack in for ALL VR Headsets. It's the perfect introduction to VR. No Jelly legs or Heart attack causing Jump scares. Just a since of awe when you see these Giants. The Mechanics are simpe. If you don't feel like you got your 3 dollars worth you are just a whiny D-bag.
