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.

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.

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.

Uphold The Realm
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.

I was given this game by the developer to play and find bugs in the very short beta period before it was opened for early access. As soon as it hit early access I bought my brother a copy because I am excited to support this game and developer. They have consistently been quick to put out updates to squash the (few and minor) bugs I’ve experienced, and take part in community conversation about the possibilities for this game. I also really like the aesthetics of the game, especially when I’m looking over the table watching my towers do work on a wave.

Robin Hood: Hail to the King
Graphics excellent. A cute medieval setting with Robin Hood and his merry men, you choose who helps you. Many levels to solve. Each level gives opportunities to find special items for additional reward. Enjoying the challenges so far. A great game for adults and kids. Many hours of fun ahead.

Tourney
I really enjoyed this one. I wish it had a sandbox type scenario without the time constraint.
Want to play more but don’t really want to repeat the main campaign.

Theme park meets jousting!
It’s a good little sim game. There’s more complexity to the it that I thought it would have when I bought it - but it’s actually been quite fun for the last couple of days I’ve been dipping in and out. Well worth a punt.
Pros
-
Good feel to it, familiar tycoon game mechanics, building, hiring staff and all that jazz.
-
It looks nice, good art style and cute characters.
-
Music is pretty good.
-
It’s got some nice humour - you can see little thought bubbles from time to time with funny stuff people are thinking & the story is humor driven

Short but mostly alright defense game
Every now and then I give a shot for a game that looks pretty bad for some reason. For this one, it was very plain looking achievements: each of them just “shoot X arrows”. The defending archer shoots them automatically. In other words, you get them by passing time in the game.
So I expected this to be bad. It was okay instead! For a €0.50 it’s just barely recommendable if you want a silly casual game and some achievements.
