Tiny Archers VR

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/C7enTCQOT9Q This is not a bad archery / tower defense game / wave shooter. It's pretty average IMO. However, I ran into some technical issues and I just think the price is too high for what it is. And there are just better archery TD games from as far back as 2017 PCVR such as Elven Assassin, QuiVR (I heard it doesn't work anymore though), Queendom, Marksman VR, or Keep Defending, etc, Now, i haven't included In Death, Sacralith, or Ferd because I don't think those are TD games, but you get the picture. There are a lot better archery games in in the short history of PCVR. Hell, maybe even The Lab (free) is better (to some). Now, this game is highly rated on the Quest store. I'm not sure why. Maybe others will enjoy this game more than i did. Like I said, it's not an awful game. I did ran into some bugs, like the icons on some things were not rendering correctly or the game suddenly went in slow motion until the end of the wave for whatever reason (several minutes so not some kind of power-up). It's also just a bit too repetitive with several things you have to grind for.…

Works on Reverb G2. Tiny Archers VR is a standing wave longbow shooter similar to Elven Assassin. And I liked it way more than the latter: it is more polished, satisfying and good looking experience. I have no idea why this game is so underrated on PC, while being well received on Quest. Confidently implemented archery in VR is always fun, and TA does everything by the book. Bow handling is responsive, although it requires a few easily unlocked upgrades to improve draw weight. Goblins are satisfying to shoot: they have precise hitboxes and smooth animations. Scoring system, limited special arrows and enemy's armor/shields promote precise shots over spraying, and you do not have turn into a machine gun, like it happens even in the best classic longbow games like The Lab. The campaign took me about 5 hours with a few map replays for a better score and some side activities like quests and Night Patrols. Cartoony visuals look sharp and perform well. There were clearly some graphical improvements made for PC version. On the negative side, environments are not varied at all - there is just one biome. Night patrol missions are bit boring, but they are completely optional. Arrows can …

This is based on a mobile game that has been around for many years that I used to play a lot. That is a great game by the way, aside from leaning HARD into the freemium model which gets annoying. This is almost the same game aside from the micro-transactions. Although it does have several different kinds of currency which can be annoying too. I could not get into this game because the physics model is so off from reality. The trajectory of the arrows is a steep arch. It's as though your character is really weak and the arrows have weighted tips at the same time. In other words, your arrows fall much faster than you'd expect. I'm sure there's better bows later on with better trajectory, but I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with the first bow and it was really frustrating and not very fun. I'd love it if they fix that at some point and I'd come back and give it another shot. Also, they need to shorten or let you skip the teleportation tutorial, it's really overkill. Otherwise a pretty good game.

I think for a under $20 game it's pretty good. I'm more then an hour into it, but I can say for under $20 I'm happy with the experience. Expanded where most archer games haven't. Better graphics. Some interesting side quests. Scaling for bows/arrows, good level challenges. I believe there is like 24 missions + side quests. Bugs only seen a couple enemy units not quite grabbing objects correctly then on level 14 I keep falling through the whole world. Had to quit and reboot more then several times now. I'll update more once I get further. But so far nice game.
