ZhanDou (VR and Non-VR)

*NOTE*: This game does NOT need VR support to be played, and the notice of that on this game's Steam page should be removed to increase its sales / playerbase. I played ZhanDou with Xbox One controller and no VR support. ZhanDou is a great-looking, Eastern-influenced Tower Defense Game that is lacking in content. ZhanDou feels a bit like an early access title, in that there are only two maps available. One being a PVP where you storm another base with creeps you may find in other Tower Defense titles, including smaller units, dragons, and a set of larger, bipedal sets of armor that tower over everything else. The other map is a "PVE" that is confusing and somewhat frustrating task to defeat the boss character of a set of armor/large beast/titan enemy while dodging an array of turrets that defend him. While this would probably be a lot more fun with friends, unfortunately at this time ZhanDou's playerbase seems thin to "Find Game". This is by no means a detraction from the game, as I do enjoy what is here (and hope the game finds an audience for the format of its gameplay...) but to try to defeat this PVE level solo seemed a bit insurmountable, especially with so little explaine…

The only reason that I would recommend this game is that I see the potential in this game. The visual design of this game, environment and characters, is obviously, dedicated. I can feel the passion and anger of the game producer from the indulging color and lines of the heroes and the battlefield. The designer, or lead artist of this game is clearly a nervous and fussy kind of a nerd. However, the intention to attract customers with the exquisite visual art is apparently a failure. The sound effect of each attack is incredibly boring, keeps reminding me of every dinner time when my mom was grinding the kitchen knife. What is dreadfully sad is that I had to play alone, and nobody was there. Perhaps it will be more fun if players could fill at least a room. Even the PVE is extremely disappointing, I had to GUESS what to do. With NO guidelines AT ALL when I first try this game. Holly Christ! I am not the game developer! What on earth makes them think I could figure it out what the ** is going here? Come on, the two-laned battlefield is extremely large and one can easily get lost. I do hope that next time, there will be a guideline GUIDING me to do step-by-step when I first jump int…

This game was advertised as vr but has almost no functionality with vr equipment. using the headset makes the game unplayable and i spent 20 minutes just trying to figure out how to interact with a menu to start the game. Because the vive controllers arent supported apparently and the headset cant do anything alone so i had to dig out an out ps4 controller just to figure out that the game has almost no content whatsoever. The controls are nausea inducing and difficult to use and nobody even plays it so 90 percent of what it does have is stripped away.

There are some cool things about this game. First of all, the design of the characters and environment is fabulous. Second, I really enjoy jumping on the big robots and controlling them, especially the big robot with the flat head, it is aewsome when I jump with this robot. But there are some things that the developer should really refine. The internet is not very stable. There is only one map to play which is quite boring, but since I may play with my friends, it is ok. But, saddly, there is not many people online. The special effect of this game really needs to be polished. I wish there would be a function to chat with my friends when playing it. Last of all, which I think the really really important, is to have a guide for new players, because I spent half an hour fighting the enemies before I found out that I may jump on the giant robots and control them accidentally. Since this is a pre-released game, I think 8.99 and some patients may worth for some future polishing.

Don't buy, Game is dead, just like the server, I waited patiently, around 10 minutes just to get past the damn connecting to server at the start, I should've just put on a different game. Tl;dr: Unless if you like to waste your time whilst looking at some scenery, don't buy this game ....I can't even call it a game with my experience -_-

This game is broken. I tried the VR version but it's BrOkEn!
