Description: Arena Master is the upcoming arena/survival game for SteamVR (HTC Vive). It’s using Unreal Engine technology to bring you the best VR experience. Thanks to Epic, we are able to view amazing Infinity Blade assets in a whole new way, in virtual reality. Grab your weapons and prepare yourself to face the ultimate challenge in the gladiator’s arena! Fight your way through swarms of enemies to ascend to glory. Do you think you are the chosen one? Can you become the Arena Master?
Review: Arena Master is your classic sword-swinging action game in which you need to see off wave after wave of evil-looking monsters. To be fair to this game some of them look pretty good and the scenery is especially nice. But it is the gameplay (or lack of it) that really lets this game down. It’s just too basic and the sound effects are just plain boring. Also, it is just far too boring easy and repetitive. There is just no variety in the gameplay and I just can’t recommend this for the £5.59 asking price. But I feel if you can get this for a single £1 in a super-sale you might well enjoy it more than I did paying full-price.
