Description: Nock your arrow, draw your bow, take aim, and let fly in the ultimate test of VR archery skill! SiegeVR is a virtual reality gaming experience that transports players onto a medieval parapet and into the avatar of one of two archers — your castle’s last hope against the vicious undead horde and their deadly assault with catapults and battering rams.
Team up and defend your castle in the exciting Siege mode, where you can choose from a variety of specialized arrows to defeat a relentless onslaught of battering rams, catapults and ground forces, or challenge friends and strangers in the fast-paced Gallery mode, where victory is a matter of out-shooting and out-thinking your opponent. Drill, train, and work on improving your skills in solo-play and move your way up the Leaderboards.
Review: If you like your bow and arrow action games SiegeVR gives you the chance to flex your arrow fingers and fight wave after waves of castle invaders. While there really isn’t much to this game (the multiplayer is as dead as a dodo) the single player did keep me amused for some time and on the whole, the game looks good and the archery mechanics feel good. While I know £3.99 isn’t a lot of money I still feel it is a little too much for a single game mode and very little replay value. It’s well worth a play…if you can get it for the right price.
