KOTH

The best way to sum up KOTH is as a first-person, single-piece chess game. The movement is point-and-click, with some limitation. However you wish to classify it, it's a fun game. If you read other reviews or parts of the discussion boards, you'll run across the name "The Sentinel". KOTH is heavily influenced by this DOS game from 1986. Having never played The Sentinel myself, I'm coming into this experience with zero experience. The game is very easy to pick up, but has a slight learning curve. There are 2 modes: Classic and Arcade. In Arcade, you have no limit to moving around. If you can see a square, you can move to it. You will need to absorb trees in order to gain energy to build blocks, which are necessary to get to elevated parts of the topography. While in Classic, in order to move you will first need to place an "Avatar" for your character, then possess and snap to that space where you avatar once was. This is a much more challenging version of the game. You will need to absorb trees and place blocks just like in Arcade, but you'll need to be far more mindful of your energy use and re-absorption. As you may derive from the title, KOTH, is a game where you become King of…

Really worth the price, great to play this classic in VR. While using a Oculus device, the controller forward vector points up instead of forward, which can be bit awkward on the wrists while playing.

KOTH is a remake of a C64 game called sentinel. I used to play this over 35 years ago. Its an excellent retro game.

Nice Clone of Sentinel. Not Faithful at the base.

It's a VR version of the 8-bit classic The Sentinel and as such it works perfectly. I love the immersion it achieves. Great to include a game mode that emulates the original, although, personally, I have discovered that I like the other mode better, because it is faster. Simple graphics, reminiscent of the original game. I wonder what the game would look like with better graphics, more elaborate trees and landscapes (this is a suggestion for you, dev). The gameplay, anyway, is great. Makes you want to move one more level forward. Played with Oculus Quest via Link and Virtual Desktop. Runs flawless in both ways. I really like this game.

Being a man of more than a few years I remember and loved the old Sentinel. Although feeling a bit striped down and a slight change to the rules, it has not lost the tension and occasional frantic activity. This is one of those rare, simple but great games. Recommended to all those puzzle lovers who enjoy a bit of tension.
