Steel Guardian

I had previously made a rather positive review of how excited I was to see where this would go, but after no updates for three years, I figure this is probably dead. :/ It was cool for what it was, the barebones concept of a very fun game that I was looking forward too.

I was very impressed with the games visuals and landscape. Very Beautiful! The locomotion is quite smooth. The combat and weapon moment is also smooth and realistic. However, as of right now, the game is very empty as the first 20 minutes of walking around, I only saw one deer. Beautiful music and day/night change was intense, and I definitely wasn't expecting what I encountered flying in the sky! The map in general is fairly large with lots to see but lacking npcs and other wildlife, ect. This has a lot of potential. I really enjoyed my short time exploring and can't wait to see more updates and how this game will develop and evolve in the future.

Could've been something. But sadly abandoned...

Wonderful music, movement, and combat. The graphics may be rather simplistic, but they have their own charm as well. The premise is cool too, mysterious world exploration selling treasure to improve your gear. Works and looks great on the HTC Vive. For an early access title (as of review) it is very promising. However, the world is very empty currently. Your time is spent just walking, or rather b-hopping and sliding to get around. Much of what is in the world you cannot interact with as well. Sometimes, after awhile of walking, you see a building or some other interesting structure, only to reveal it is just a static object. The towns in the game are also devoid of anything interactable (other then the shop). While this game does have its own beauty as you explore, it also feels lifeless and empty. In short, great mechanics, empty world. Would like to see the game's world have more detail and features put into it in place of empty fields and static buildings.
