Description: BOW MAN is a Japanese style classic VR bow game! Your mission is to shoot enemies and targets as accurately and quickly as possible. In SOLO MODE, use your archery skills to shoot targets and enemies. You can either guard with your gauntlet or dodge enemy attacks. There are 54 levels to accomplish!
Review: With its fancy cel-shaded graphics, 54 levels and an online mode you might think there was a lot to love about ‘BOW MAN’ (not to be confused with Archer E. Bowman). But sadly you will soon realise that the archery gameplay is the same thing (target shooting) over and over again. In fact, it never once gets exciting in each of the 54 levels, they really are all the same thing. The multiplayer side of things is dead and the graphics are not that good anyway. But then we throw in the £11.39 price tag and you have a game I simply can’t recommend. If it was a quid or two I might have recommended it, but until it gets a massive price drop I wouldn’t waste a single arrow on it.
