IgKnight Golf Defender

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] [i]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program[/i] You can view my gameplay & initial impressions review here: https://youtu.be/l-Ku44bEh3Q I was surprised when this was released on the Steam store right after my video recording with no updates to the game. I really think this game needs updating. The store page says physics based golf mechanics but I'm not sure which physics they are talking about, certainly not real world physics. Arcade physics? Magical physics? Well, at least gravity seems pretty consistent .. mostly. All jokes aside, your swing of the giant hammer is akin to a golf driver and the cannonball to a golf ball. However, your swings can clip through the floor. Sometimes you see your hammer hit the ball and nothing happens. Sometimes the ball goes a lot further than the last time you swung exactly the same way. Eventually though, you do get used to the "physics" but still it's not always consistent.

Golf Defender has interesting and unique premise, but it's not a good game. It doesn't look or feel like a finished commercial product. Pros: + The idea of battle golf is pretty cool, managing to do a precise long distance hit feels satisfying Cons: - It's very repetitive: enemy waves are very similar(there are only 3 types of enemies and boss) and there is barely any difficulty curve(mostly thanks to imba magic). And after every hit you have to wait several second before ball lands, only then you get to do another hit. I stopped playing after half an hour, simply couldn't endure the boredom - Magic is extremely overpowered. Lighting is the worse: it completely ruins the game, leaving no challenge to it - Visuals are awful, just like the screenshots on its store page promised - Menus are very cluttered, one of the worst GUI I've seen in VR
