Stolen Steel VR

Doesn't run, dev openly said he doesn't support it. Achievements don't work. Do not buy!

You enter the world as a floating pair of fancy gloves, surrounded by wanted posters and a short description of the game, in a short tunnel behind a guard with a kick me sign. As you dispatch your stationary foe and retrieve his blade, the world opens up. The very brightly lit world... I was able to yank the nearby torch off the wall and satisfyingly bank it off an oncoming train, but there was far too much light coming in to really get the stealth feeling on the first guard. Now, this could very well be a practice thing and I just wasn't doing a good job of finding the hidey holes, or it could get much beter later in the game. I couldn't tell you, because I couldn't get out of that first room... Now, I was able to step out into the room and fight. And the fighting is very good, if the AI is a bit weak to thrust attacks and armor appears to be merely cosmetic. Again, this may be mitigated by later enemy types, but I couldn't tell you. Because the kick me sign is not the only t...

game doesnt work!!!

Can't seem to get the audio working, game starts bugging after first kill

Dev spergs out at fans who are rightfully upset that the product they paid for is defective. Steam API for achievements is largely the same as it was a decade ago, so clearly this has been an issue since launch and not some issue related to their hardware. When you sell a product there is an expectation that it works. Blocked and reported to the IRS for fraud.

This game is very repetitive and short with just 10 minutes of gameplay

in its current state, wouldnt recommend Stolen Steel at all its very rough and still ran like crap on my i7 980 system. everything felt very unresponsive and I feel in a game like this you need to be able to do everything you would be able to do in real life such as slashing an enemys exposed leg (which does not work in this) Pros: its pretty. Cons: everything else.

I tried to like this but here are my issues with the game: 1) Delay on the sword movements completely breaks immersion and fun in my opinion. 2) Menu for graphical settings? 3) performance was poor for me with a GTX 1070 In short, I didn't enjoy playing it.

This is more of a tech demo with very little content so it is very hard to justify the $4.99 price point. If the sword fighting were more sophisticated, it would be worth that if not more. However, the sword play is basic. I didn't see much of an advantage to properly block and then swing. It seemed it was always advantageous to swing wildly about. Obviously, kills are easier with stealth. But with teleportation being the main mechanism to move and no crouching behind objects or walking silently, is it really stealth? It's more like ganking. Find a dark spot. Wait until they turn their back, then teleport behind them to gank. And there's only 1 VR environment area. This is a $2.49 game at most in its current state. I cannot recommend this game until better sword play is added or more content. More weapons, more enemies, shielded enemies, traps. etc. More than 1 enviroment as well. Rate 4/10 needs updated content to be worthy

Cons: Hitboxes are awful Sword clips through enemies Sword handling is buggy You die randomly Extremely repetitive Graphics are meh (It's a VR game so that's fine) Animations are horrible Pros: Low cost Fun for 15 minutes (or is that a con?)
