SWORDS of GARGANTUA

Bare-bones game relying on waves for difficulty. There are better games with hoard mode on the side. Can't recommend. Wish I was still in the refund window for this.

They added an offline mode, so even if the game goes down again you can still play it. The game itself is fun, but now that there's an offline I can finally recommend it with no hesitation.

The game starts very strong, telling you an epic story with an awesome background and putting you in the shoes of a hero. Throughout the story you also get to hear great voice acting (from a single person). Then that's pretty much it. The gameplay is not great and extremely repetitive, spawn in a room, defeat enemies, go to next room. It gets boring quickly as there's only about a handful of enemies and you just fight stronger versions of them as you progress through the levels. There's no follow up to the story. I found myself very often fighting the camera and while you get some coins during gameplay they give you so little they may as well not give you any. You get to level up on each play through but there's very little progression outside of that other than very slowly padding your stats. If that wasn't enough, while I tried to give the game a chance, after clearing a room an ad to join the game's discord took over my vision, making me lose a good weapon and miss my level up skill. That was utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Melee is hard for VR, since the in-game physics collisions can't match the unrestricted real life controllers, but this is clearly more of an early VR test rather than a polished modern VR title. The UI being up so close popping up before each wave and locked to the center of vision is my biggest complaint. The game seems like it gets cool eventually but from the progression I can tell that I don't want to play it for long enough to collect the coins to level up the stats to get that far.

It has the potential to be good, but some of the mechanics just feel really bad. Dashing feels like I'm going to hurt myself. Blocking is inconsistent and unreliable, as in sometimes it just doesn't work. If I drop my swords, they just vanish half the time, nowhere to be seen ever again.

cool game to play with your friends
