Description: Fight off hordes of goblins in this VR smack and smash tower defence hybrid! Punish the invading goblins by using your mighty chained hammer and your wide arsenal of traps and structures.
Review: ‘Now There Be Goblins’ is a colourful action game in which you get to wield a hammer and shield, taking down all manner of orcs and other monsters. I can’t moan much about the graphics, but the gameplay loop is a little shallow with only the most basic of blocks and attacks allowed.
One side of me found this game kinda enjoyable and the other felt a little short-changed. You will get your money’s worth in playtime, but there are 4 difficulty settings in 4 maps so you need to play them over and over to get anyway and that can feel a little monotonous. I give this a cautious thumbs up for now, but you might be better off waiting to pull the trigger on this one until the game is ironed out a little more.
