    This game is what VR has been missing. It goes back to the roots of old school gaming with a base strategy concept but brings a fresh tech update that showcases the abilities of VR with motion and gesture spell casting. The unique blend of offensive and defensive spells and towers combined with a resource economy, is all sewn together with comedic sportscasters The Duke and Wolf Hawkins. The announcers have a unique behavior tree that narrates and reacts to the game elements. Prepare to immerse yourself in over 20-30 hours of addictive game play across 3 unique modes.

I was cautiously optimistic at first when I played the first demo, and with recent patches it's improved tremendously since then.

    Great game, lots of fun, absolutely stunning visuals with tons of personality. It's awesome to see people doing interesting things with VR. Absolutely worth checking this out.

Welp, these little knights are susceptible to fisty-cuffs, so you can get your hands dirty and pound that ground. I find it really satisfying to pull off casting the spells. Some waves, your fists are the only thing between the enemies and your spire.
    Visually, its beautiful AND bonus points for not making me motion sick.

    Best part of this game to me is that you actually move your arms around to do magic, which is a lot more fun to me than just using a radialBest part of this game to me is that you actually move your arms around to do magic, which is a lot more fun to me than just using a radial menu or button. Took a bit to memorize some of the movements, but once you've got them down you're good to go. Still needs some polish here and there, but overall really good. Expand

    Not a huge fan of VR myself, but I'm always down for a good story. This one is funny and kept me playing to see how it would all end.

There were a few bug issues to start out with, but recent updates have improved the game immensely. Definitely worth playing. Expand

    Every review on this site for this game is from one of the employees at the company. They made their account and in the same day reviewedEvery review on this site for this game is from one of the employees at the company. They made their account and in the same day reviewed other games to make it seem less sketchy. They most recently got caught doing this with steam reviews and since has been taken off of the steam marketplace. The game itself is extremely buggy and is borderline copywrite infringement with the disguise of fair use. Expand
