About Warden of the Isles
Use wits, magic, and a powerful throwing arm to build and defend your town while commanding troops to fight enemies in this lighthearted VR blend of RTS and Mage Simulator. Defend against a looming and mysterious threat, uncover its dark origins, and become... The Warden of the Isles!
There has always been a Warden of the Isles. For as far back as history dates, these powerful mages defended the Isles of Muhan against all threats while maintaining peace between the bickering tribes. Fusing themselves with the Shards of Challenging spread across the Isles of Muhan, Wardens are able to wield immense magical and physical powers in order to perform their duties.
Over the years, the inhabitants of the Isles of Muhan relied more and more heavily on the increasingly powerful Wardens, while at the same time, those mages gifted enough to wield such power became rarer...
Now, a dark rumor spreads... NEROK, the current Warden of the Isles, has not been seen in months, and there are whispers that he has vanished... This, along with a series of strange occurrences spreading across the Isles, has caused the elderly mage NAMURF, the former Warden of the Isles, to return from retirement and seek answers.
But he will not be able to do this alone... YOU have been chosen...

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's strategic depth and immersive VR implementation, comparing it favorably to classic strategy games, though recent updates addressing tunnel vignette and snap turning options have significantly improved the experience. Common complaints center on the movement mechanics, particularly the reliance on teleportation rather than physical movement, and the slow pace which some find tedious, especially in smaller play spaces. The game has strong appeal for strategy enthusiasts but may not suit those seeking faster-paced gameplay or preferring traditional locomotion.
Review at 110 mins play time Extreme disappointment until they fix these issues with Tunnel vignette an snap turning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review at 3.2 hours play time Extreme Happy with this game by far. They fixed the issues that I was having with Tunnel vignette an snap turning with an option to turn it off and on. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review at 7.8 hours play time (I am new to this game maybe some of the things I mention are supposed to be there) This game is exactly what I was looking for I really enjoy playing this game. Pretty much everything is right on with the new update I feel if I have anything to say it would be just what I would like. 1. I would like to be able to move up an down with out going into the menu. 2. Some times the level is taking some time it would be great to be able to save the game or check points. 3. If there was a map editor even as a DLC I my self would buy it without any issue. NOW ANYTHING I SAY FROM THIS POINT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM HOW MUCH …1 found this helpful
Loads of fun for all to be had right here, mate!
Not exactly what I was looking for unfortunately. Personally I found the game to be a tad too slow for me, in addition to which I dont have a massive playspace which would make this better as you would be able to get around the map by moving physically rather than with the teleport offered. All in all I feel that the devs hav done a decent job of it, however it just isnt my style of game.
I have enjoyed this game. There is more to it than you may initially think. What lets it down a little is the movement mechanics. It would be nice to be able to move without teleporting, to move up and down quickly so that you can change your perspective, and shortcuts to move to specific places quickly. Also would be useful if you could specify formations for the units and behaviours such as ignoring enemies whilst en route to a destination.

Absolutely SLAPS! It reminds me so much of the game Lego Battles that I used to play non-stop on my DS when I was a kid but now its way, way, way more immersive and allows me to directly interact with everything in the game! There's nothing quite like leading an army you built into an enemy fortress and absolutely clapping them with overwhelming numbers, or building and fortifying defenses around bases before your enemies can surround you and destroy themselves trying to invade, or even throwing spells, elemental monsters and your own soldiers at the enemy from across the island as a way to whittle down their forces while testing their strengths and capabilities! It definitely brought back the strategy-game-addicted mind I had back then and it kept me on my toes throughout every level! I want this game to continue to grow and develop even more campaigns and interesting levels (Like having multiple enemies on a larger island battling each other, and you, for the same resources) because there aren't any games like this for VR and It's an amazing game concept and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging yet deeply satisfying game! Seriously, do not hesitate to get thi…
