How it feels

A fast-paced VR castle defense where you dodge arrows and push ladders while choosing upgrades to repel attacking armies.

What players say

Players praise the upgrade path and castle-defense variety but are split on the bow mechanics: some call it the worst archery in VR, others the best. Many note the game is very short, around 1 to 1.5 hours for 20 levels, and that enemy archers are punishingly accurate.
