Update 2021-03-10:
The Developer is still actively updating....this game is a big winner for sure! Much more to come.
Previous Review:
Using Standard HTC Vive. Great start! It's early access after all. It needs the following improvements:
1. Controls - Menu button should not be used to select anything. It should just bring up the menu.
2. More enemies. All I see are turd shaped teardrops and a few monsters.
3. More Towers. Boring tower layout can be improved and expanded.
4. More strategy.
Please keep updating and improving this great work.

Playing using the Valve Index, and enjoy seeing the finger tracking on the handle of the bow.
Very fun game so far! Mechanics are very simple right now, and it is definitely an exercise if you’re an out of shape individual such as myself. I’ve played the game now for four-and-half hours, and have not encountered any bugs that readily stand out or ruin the game.
Presently, the game has five (technically ten) levels with normal and hard mode variants, hence the ten. As you increase in the “story,” the longer you will have to play on the map to beat the level as the number of waves will increase.
There is a bit of strategy involved in trying to plan out your tower defense for the levels because, like a true tower defense game, you will encounter path convergences and have to plan accordingly. The game actively encourages the player to be a defender with their towers as support. Based on my perception, it would be near impossible for the towers to defeat all the enemies just based on the towers without the player’s archery skills at least somewhat involved.
Overall, would recommend for someone looking for a casual tower defense game in VR. The art style is very enjoyable, and it’s simple enough to play without having to dedicate the time to become a true master. The mod ability further allows the player to customize the individual maps very liberally should the player choose, and this adds to the casual feel of the game. I have not encountered game bugs as of yet, and so it feels already like a decently polished game even though it is clearly early access and still expanding.

Playing this using the Quest 2 connected via link cable, works a charm and I'm loving the game so far,
I would like to see in the future as the game progress if possible,
- Different combat styles (Mage or Melee) *depending on if the AI can attack the player for melee
- Bigger Skill Tree (loving the fact you made one)
- More Strategy, currently you can sit by the enemy spawn and spam arrows as draw doesn't effect damage
- More enemies
So far I have really enjoyed the game and I will continue to play and keep an eye on progress!

Honestly one of the better put together VR Tower Defense games I have played.
Love the concept of the table top game and being able to go onto the board and fight along side the towers.

GREAT game that is polished and fun! The game play loop is satisfying and the interactions with the bow are great. This game perfectly walks the line of challenging without being impossible as the later levels throw tougher enemies at you that require active participation to defeat. There is a large variety of enemies with great models, each time I play I feel like I encounter a new one.
Below I have listed some improvements to the game that I would like to see, but even in its current state I think this game is a must download!
1. A 2x time modifier. Sometime even 1.5x is a little slow on replays of the early levels.
2. A popup whenever a new enemy type is introduced explaining what it does. I did not know the wizards affected towers or that enemies had armor until I checked the Steam page. I still don't know how armor works.
3. A sleeker menu system. No need for two buttons to travel between the map and the room scale, a single button could toggle. Have unavailable options grayed out.
4. More weapon/tower upgrade options. I would also like there to be an element of strategy there that forces me to choose one upgrade over the other, a branching tree that doesn't let me select everything.
5. Enemies that damage towers. If I leave a tower alone I could come back to find that it has been damaged and only operating at half capacity until I fix it.
6. More things to do on the small scale map that do not use the bow. Perhaps I could scavenge hidden gold or items from around the map, collect temporary powerups from fallen enemies, pull a lever to release an avalanche of rocks, or chop down trees to increase towers' sight lines. Sometimes I get tired of pulling the bow but have no other gameplay options.
Thanks! :)

Playing with the Oculus Rift S, it was a good overall experience the movement takes a little bit to get used to but once you play and experience it you'll get addicted. The music in the game can get kinda boring but if you throw some music in the back the tower defense game is a good escape. I could see this game being really really good in the future with the right additions.
What I'd like to see added:
- The ability to chose a class besides having a bow.
- More things to upgrade.
- Multiplayer!!!!!

This game is the epitome of good game design and story. in my opinion there is no better game on this planet or any other. give it a try and you will see how addicting it is.
