oVRshot

oVRshot is a virtual reality arena shooter that trades the usual assortment of firearms for bows, arrows, supernatural abilities, and highly mobile combat. Developed and published by Frozen Arrow Entertainment, the game takes a competitive shooter structure and adapts it around the physical interaction that makes VR archery satisfying. Drawing the bow, lining up a shot, tracking a moving opponent, and releasing an arrow require considerably more physical involvement than simply pointing a conventional weapon. This gives even relatively straightforward encounters a distinctive sense of participation. The main competitive format revolves around 3-versus-3 battles. Small teams keep matches personal and make each participant important, since there are fewer allies available to compensate for missed shots or poor positioning. The combat is deliberately more arcade-oriented than realistic. Instead of carefully recreating historical archery, the game combines bow combat with special powers and exaggerated movement mechanics. This approach gives battles a lively rhythm and makes oVRshot feel closer to a hero-based arena shooter built specifically around VR controls. Movement is one of th…

oVRshot is a VR action game built around something I do not see all that often, using a bow as my main weapon in a fast arena shooter. I am thrown into matches with a bow, different abilities and a jetpack style movement system, then I have to move around the arena and land shots while trying to stay alive. The game supports 3 versus 3 battles, free for all, and fighting against AI, so there is more to it than just one basic mode. I like the idea because shooting a bow in VR feels much more physical than simply aiming a normal gun. The bow physics are easily the best part for me. I actually have to draw the bow, aim properly and release the arrow instead of relying on normal shooter controls. When I land a good shot while moving around the arena, it feels much more satisfying than a normal hit from a traditional FPS. The movement also gives me plenty to think about because I can use three different locomotion options, along with grapples and double jumps. That makes the arenas much more vertical and active than they would be if I was simply walking around with a bow. I also like the abilities because they give the combat more variety. The game is not just about who can aim their …

Not a whole lot of people still playing but if you can get a few friends to play you can have a blast. Also this game runs on anything, I managed to get it running on a 3GB GTX970, a Intel Core i5-4460 and 8GB Ram and still got between 55-70fps. Absolute blast.

Игра oVRshot — необычный VR-проект, предлагающий смесь съемки и стрельбы. Погружение в виртуальный мир захватывающее: управление камерой и оружием интуитивное, но требует времени на адаптацию. Графика качественная, а сюжет — минимальный, сосредоточенный на действиях. Плюс: интересный геймплей, возможность экспериментировать с камерой. Минус: короткая кампания, слабая оптимизация для некоторых VR-устройств. Подойдет любителям нестандартных механик и VR-экспериментов.

An absolute blast for VR archery fans! Fast-paced 3v3 battles with great bow physics and fun mobility options like grappling hooks. The cosmetic system and crossplay are fantastic bonuses. Highly addictive.
