Description: Ever wanted to throw a shield at your enemies with all your might? Now you can. Octoshield VR is an action packed arena game for the HTC Vive in which your only weapon is a deadly shield. Throw it at your enemies to annihilate them, but don’t forget to protect yourself with it, or you will get hit by lasers!
Review: While there isn’t a whole lot to Octoshield VR it does offer a little bit of fun for a short while. It’s very much Tron in style, basic graphics and some OK sound effects and music, nothing special. But the good news is the game feels great to play and at times can get quite manic. You will be throwing your disk and batting away lasers with your shield all over the place and those moments make this game worth playing. I will suggest that you still wait for a sale price as there really isn’t a lot here, but it is worth playing provided you get it cheap enough.
