Download the demo, it's free and has all the game mechanics in it. You don't gain anything by picking up the early access game which has seen no attention from the dev shortly after it went live. Look at the "eary access game" notes from the developer written in June of 2016 and feel free to browse the trello board ( http://trello.com/b/oOCNIEaS ) listing the tasks he was planning on but never got around to: Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “The game will be in Early Access for at least a month, until it has proper assets (sound, graphics), as well as more content. It's a shame I can't recommend this game; it missed all of its early access milestones. It seems the developer had great ideas to make the game more fun.

The game has not been updated since July 3, 2016. This is dead Early Access. Avoid.

[b]VR EXERCISE RATING:[/b] HIGH [b]GAMEPLAY RATING:[/b] FAIR I quite like this game, it's barebones indeed but what it offers is high intensity action sort of like a tron version of Holopoint. You'll get sweaty and your throwing arm will tire so it's a great title to burn a few calories while being distracted. There's skill required so it feels rewarding getting addional points for accuracy and completing waves. The visuals are good enough and the physics feel realistic. However the title remains in EA without an update since July 2016, so consider this game abandoned by the developer so I'm giving a thumbs down as warning. What you're getting should be considered the complete game. With that said I'd still consider the gameplay worth £3.99 in it's current state, but loathed to recommend since the developer has effectively put two fingers up at us.

If you have a VR, I would recommend this game if you're into action games or ones where you have to survive in a arena for as long as you can. I think it is still in early access and Idk what the future update will look like but so far its a fun game. A Game where you're main weapon is a shield plate you can throw at enemy drones that tries to eliminate you as well as you can deflect their laser projectiles or reflect it back at them. Overall a good game with only 1 problem. A VR positioning issue that is weird to fix but always happens whenever you start the game.

I think this game is very common and not fun

I love this game! Honestly, it's easier to just throw it like a Frisbee every time. But I get so caught up in it that I'm flinging it all over the place like Captain America and dodging lasers I could easily swat away, just to watch them turn all Matrix-y slow-mo in front of me. It also becomes a nice little work out if you let too many bots stay on the map. My only complaint is that it seems to kind of rollercoaster in difficulty. It's almost as if they really only created difficulty settings for the first 10 waves and it kind of drops back down to easy on wave 11, then increases and drops back down again. So by the time I hit wave 11 I had my strategy and never really had to change much. Either way, this is one of those games that I can play when I'm not in the mood for anything else, and it's always fun. Definitely worth the memory space.
