Commoners

Commoners

You were nothing more than a commoner among others. Now, you must do what it takes to survive. Kill, slaughter and pillage to success as the kingdom you once knew has fallen and the harsh realities of life is upon you. Now without a home, you will find yourself struggling to fend off against once forgotten beasts alongside other humans. Your throat will bleed as it thirsts, your belly will yearn for crumbs. Be careful, as injury can mean death. Do as you must, no one is watching… or are they?

Commoners is a massively multiplayer online medieval role-playing survival game. With nothing but a small set of tools, venture about and build your way to the top and become the most feared player in a now decayed kingdom you once called home.

Wander about the island; hunt for food, gather for resources, fight your way to success. As you collect, craft new armor and weapons and better yourself for survival in this harsh world. Ask yourself, is this man or woman who stand before you friend or foe. Are you their friend, or are you their foe? Make moral decisions as you befriend or kill other players who may be able to help you or bring death to you.

Chop a tree, fish a fish, cook on a fire; build your first home, craft your first sword. Do as you must in this PVP, PVE old-school RPG inspired game. Your wealth and value in this world is directly tied to what you have earned and stolen.

By far the most played vive game I own and I have over 70 titles.

The game was certainly addictive from first picking up the controllers.

Ive aquired every item the game has to offer, which is around 10 pieces of equipment.

I know the devs are active in this game, I feel it would befeit replayability to add some more

item/skill game content for the fans that have supported this game this long. Like 10 new items with abilities, playing the

same map over and over again. Im finding myself going back to this game less often. The most addicting thing about

UPDATE: The Discord community for this game is amazing! The developer, Blueteak, had us racing to unlock secrets/easter eggs in the game. This is a signal of great things to come.

I downloaded this game right when the early alpha was released, was impressed with the bow mechanics, escalation of wave difficulty, and enemy variety. After the early access version released, I immediately bought QuiVr, and it quickly became the game I think about when I’m not in VR, alongside Arizona Sunshine.

I do miss many of the enemy types they had in the early alpha, but chose to scrap for the paid early access version. However, the ability to close more gates beyond the one directly guarding your keep, while strategically using the magic abilities (throwing fireballs, chain lightning, slow time bubble, etc.) attached to your gear is why I keep coming back for a few rounds every day! I love the Diablo 3-esque feature of being able to “re-roll” the mods on your items in hopes of getting the best quality version in the range of possibilities. There is hardly anything more satisfying in VR than judging an enemy’s run speed from hundreds of yards out, and connecting on that nearly impossible shot!

Hunting Unlimited 1

This game is the very first Hunting Unlimited, and I have to say it’s one of my favorites, I love to recurve hunt grizzlies, and do the endless amount of missions. I have played alot of the missions and I’m not even close to being done, I do without a doubt recommend this game, another thing is that it is old and runs good on old computers.

I got this title in the Trophy Collection Complete bundle at 33% off. So I paid $6.69 USD, and it was pretty much one of my best purchases on Steam. I remember seeing the box in stores way back in the day, but figured I just wouldn’t be any good at it. I wish I hadn’t waited. Because I’m terrible at it, but I’m getting better.

With a target range to help you practice after failed hunts, the trophy room, and some bucks that randomly flee over nothing, what’s not to love? Seriously though, they even lay down and graze and this game is from 2001. The game even has me looking up videos on whatever I’m using in the hunt, and honestly you can apply real world tips in the game.

For the price, Lone Archer is a great endless wave defense game. The level and enemy variety is quite large and the game play is smooth and fun. It could definitely use some sort of progression mechanic, but what it currently offers is more than enough to entertain.

I’ve barely done anything yet, but I can tell this game is very promising.

Found this title before early access was available; and since it’s times during playtesting it’s honestly made me smile like a little kid again.

Keep in mind - Halfbrick intends on mostly doing a open-world / level-based approach here. Classic modes like arcade & zen are not present here, but they are in the first Fruit ninja VR title.

The game is currently in early access as of this writing, and already it has plenty of fun content to poke around with! In addition to bow & sword gameplay, there are many small details the developers have been cooking up, like relaxing landscapes, beautiful ambiance design, and little minigames to discover across the map. Generally, plenty of things to do in order to take breaks from all of the hack-and-slashing!

Keep Defending

Keep Defending

Keep Defending is a wonderful blend of archery and tower defense!

Keep Defending (KD for the remainder of this review) is a great archery game that mixes in some tower defense elements. You will most likely kill most of the enemies yourself in the earlier levels and on low difficulty modes, but you will find that this game throws a lot of challenges your way which will require management of funds and allies. These allies range from archers to warriors to mages. You will make use of a teleport beacon as well to get around each level. Some levels don’t require any of these allies or tools to be completed, but harder difficulties and more complicated levels throw a lot more enemies at you and even change up where some of them spawn.

Real player with 7.2 hrs in game

Keep Defending puts a fun spin on the common VR archery genre by adding in the tower defence element. Unlike most of the tower defence games, it actually does it well.

If you’d like to watch some gameplay from a high-ranking player, take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7TDAFTLWA8

You get gold for killing each enemy which can be spent on new defences. Defences being things such as teleport markers or NPCs who will attack the enemy with you. So far I’ve gotten teleport markers, crossbows and knights. You can place them in predetermined slots and if needed change the defence currently in place if you change your mind or the situation changes.

Paladin Duty - Knights and Blades

It’s alright, can’t complain much since I got this for .59 cents but definitely not worth the full price atm.

Game length is only about 30 mins complete (10 levels) and to get 4 out of the 5 achievements. The fifth one requires only to be in game for an hour, best to just afk that one.

It’s a bit bland atm, it functions more like a tutorial than a game. A screen keeps popping up telling you what you need to do. When I got to level 10 things were just starting to get interesting and bam after completing it the game was over (I had no idea that I was in level 10 at that time). The only odjective is to kill everything.

I was really looking forward to playing this. After having completed it, ehhh…I did kind of enjoy my time with it but am sure I’ll never touch it again. Teensy bit too rage inducing.

The trailer doesn’t really show what kind of game this is, expect to re-play several levels multiple times to learn enemy locations as well as spawn points that trigger on a timer from when you start each level as well as after killing certain enemies. If you like this style of trial and error gameplay it’s decent, and the levels look nice for an older Unity game.

The island and accompanying music were fairly pleasant! I got around to engage in the jogging and archery portions of the game and I must say that both of them were fun! Would recommend if you enjoy calm environments.

So I cannot game recommend this collection of VR sports-themed mini-games. They consist of archery, boxing, and running / jogging in an island setting. The island map is probably the best thing about this game. The visuals aren’t great, but they are nice enough.

Unfortunately, two of the three sports title are just bad. The boxing mini-game, where you basically just hit 3 targets on a boxing dummy over and over again, wave after wave with no challenge is the worst of the bunch. It basically looks and plays like a learn how to make your first VR game in Unreal Engine from Zenva.

Cool little game that feels sort of like a mix of LOL and WOW tower defense.

Got this game in a VR bundle and I’m really positively surprised.

Controls were easy to figure out and the game play is quite polished.

Lot’s of different enemies to kill, though I’d like to see a last stand mode where you can actually go to enemy level and kill them face to face, before they take your crystal.

I’m pretty happy with it and hope the developers introduce some kind of co op and multiplayer mode, as I think that’d unleash this game’s full potential.

Charming, but with problems. The aesthetics of the game are wonderful. I love the art style and the music. Reminds me of early World of Warcraft.

The tower defense mechanics are middle of the road. Your “towers” that you put onto the play field help, but you’ll need to be constantly shooting at enemies. The mechanics aren’t really explained and I suspect that I may have just brute forced my way through the game. The boss fights have a few problems (several attacks aren’t telegraphed or are luck based), but generally feel appropriate for the game.
