Description: The most compelling destruction game made for virtual reality! Use iron balls to destroy mysterious ruins on islands floating in the sky. The limited number of balls means you’ll have to play strategically in order to proceed. Designed for the HTC Vive. Smash ruins so large you’ll have to look up to see them in their entirety. Destroy a certain percentage of each stage to clear it and move on to the next one. Ten kinds of ruins for you to destroy! The higher levels are stricter on the number of balls you get and the completion ratio you must reach. Aim carefully with one controller or make a big mess with two! Either way is a great stress reliever!
Review: Destroyer is what you get when you combine Angry Birds with some of the worlds most recognisable buildings. Then it gives you the opportunity to knock them down using some sort of mine, and that is just about it. There is no skill here, no gameplay challenge. This is an interactive experience designed to offer you a little bit of mindless destruction. Some people might enjoy this sort of thing, some might even use it as a stress reliever. But personally, I hated it and knowing I paid £6.99 for it made me even angrier. If you grab it for a quid or less you might enjoy it more than I did, but I got bored of this from the start, as it is much the same thing on every level.
