Bowslinger is a virtual reality archery game that puts a bow and arrow in your hands and challenges your abilities in a variety of single-player game modes. Practice and hone your skills until you can get top scores, or take to the playground and channel your inner William Tell with some good ol’ fashioned apple shooting. Just try not to shoot too low...

This is ok, just wish it was like the value one, my brother is really good at this, if you love the bow you will like this.
Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
Note for Oculus: I had a problem on my initial start when loading game from Steam library, the game just froze on the intro screen. However, when I started game from Steam VR I experienced zero problems. I do recommend full roomscale setup, although it is possible to play with only 2 sensors
I'm just barely recommending this game. It's a simple archery skill game. I had fun, but I experienced everything the game has to offer in under 20 minutes. And that's mostly because there's a playground mode where you can mess around for a bit. In any event, $5 normal price for that little content is kind of steep. I think the current sale price is the correct price of $2.49 for what you're getting.
The best thing about this game is the bow and arrow mechanic. It's plays almost perfectly. My nitpick is that you have to keep holding on to the trigger button to hold the bow. I liked normal mode where you pick the arrows from your back and it felt natural and smooth. So the core gameplay is very polished. There just isn't enough content.
You do have static targets, moving targets, big targets, small targets, shooting apples off of men or goblin figures, and juggling apples in the air with your arrows. So there is some variety, just not enough. However, you do have leaderboards and you can use the in-game camcorder to show off your gameplay. The visuals & sounds are nice as well. Especially the audio as you can hear where the targets are. So overall, a nice package, but plays more like a quick demo than a full fledged game.
Sale price rating 5.5/10. I like it, there's just not enough to justify the normal price. Sale price recommendation only.
Fun little bowshooting game for 5 bucks i think it's worth it. There's not much to it, could be a lot more content. However, again for 5 bucks, and one of the first experiences to VR. I would have to say it's a good. fun thing to show friends/family.
How to play 'Bowslinger' correctly.
Step 1 - Uninstall 'Bowslinger'
Step 2 - Install 'The Lab' for FREE
Step 3 - Play 'The Lab's bow mini-game
Step 4 - Feel ripped off for paying $10 for less of a game than Valve's FREE minigame.
Seriously, this game forgot to include the game. It has several modes. All of which are boring. Shoot stationary targets within a time limit; shoot stationary targets without a time limit; shoot an arrow at an apple repeatedly, and shoot ONE stationary target lots of times. There is no real GAME here. You have the protential in a VR game to throw in some random crazy fun stuff, and you didnt. Archery is fun. I know this because i do archery IRL and its great. This really isnt. You cant even enjoy attempting to master it as the controls are terribly poor. Overly complex given the simplistic nature of 'Bowslinger', meaning you miss fire or fail to load your bow far too often.
Given the potential of the medium, this is just massively underwhelming and the bearest excuse of a game. If you want bow and arrow goodness use 'The Lab' or for gun and fun shooty goodness, have a look at VR Skeet, also free on Steam, and is able of how make stuff fun and entertaining if not realistic.
TL;DR - Save your money and play the minigame in 'The Lab'. Much more entertaining.
A fun vr archery game, has several modes to play. Overall a decent archery game having played a few.
I wish there were more bow types to mess around with, maybe like ones that are on fire, or drawing 2 arrows at a time, etc.
The game is pretty fun but it lacks story or variety (in locations / enemies / modes / assets). It's actually kinda like pacman. A bit repetitive and only score based.
Have fun for a couple hours or so.
I did not enjoy playing this game at all. I would consider this game as a nice experiment in VR, but it has very little value as a game. While the developers might improve it, nothing I've seen so far indicates that they're likely to convert this into a high quality title (though I could definitely be wrong, its just my feeling about it).
- 1 of 10 stars when compared to all other games, including AAA games not made for Vive/VR.
- 1 of 10 stars when compared to all other Vive games (available today).
- $0 recommended value if the game does not improve much beyond its current state as of 7/10/2016.
This is one of the best games out for the Vive at the moment. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is fun. Overall this is one of the most immersive experiences for a casual game. I absolutely love it.
I really enjoy VR archery games and bought this without hesitation. Unfortunately, there's not a lot to it, and even though I really like VR archery I got bored pretty quickly. The devs claimed they were working on an action mode, but now are totally silent on the subject, so there's not much to recommend at present. At least it's cheap.
Just get Holopoint. Bowslinger is a boring bow game that I would refund if I could.
This game has probably the best bow mechanics of all the Vive archery games right now. The environment is pretty simple and the gamemodes are a little limited right now but what's there works really well, mechanically. The high score board keeps you coming back for more, trying to beat other people's scores as well as improve your own. The presentation is charming, the bow mechanics are excellent, and with more content & modes this will easily be the best archery experience for VR.
I'll admit I haven't played this nearly as much as other Vive titles, but I still recommend it. The bow mechanics feel nice, the graphics are nice, and it's a more relaxed alternative to other Vive archery experiences. The devs seem to be listening and adding features too, which should be encouraged. For £11 you can't go wrong.
I have really enjoyed this archery game. It's a blast to just play with the physics and see how things react when you shoot them. I'm excited to try the new game mode when it comes out. I got exactly what I was hoping for out of this game. That being said I'm not opposed to more modes of play in future updates.
There is almost no content here. Same enviroment the entire game, you can't even move out of the starting spot. Same patterns every round, game is more about memorizing than archery.
Soundtrack consists of a single track.
You can't really aim because it makes you want to place draw string to your face, but you have a headset on so you bash your controllers a lot.
There are better and cheeper archery games out for Vive. Why buy this one?
graphics: 4/10
sound: 2/10
replayability: 1/10
fun: 1/10
Only game I ever refunded.
The game has potential, bow mechanics in my opinion are the best compared to other VR bow games currently out. But its more of a demo vs a game worth paying more than $5 for. It gets boring quick, the only reason I have more than 10 minutes played is because my little brother has a fun time with it.
I would pay $5 for this max. There is nothing to do and The Lab is more fun and is free.
Bought it because of the positive reviews.... after 10-15 minutes or so there was nothing to do. sure it works and it is challenging to play but not engaging because there is no story or even scenario... this is just target practice.
The lab is much more fun to do in it's simplicity
20mins game play max then it gets repetitive and boring. Feels like a gimmicky game trying to cash in on the new VR market with a 'just finished enough to pass' game.
Handling of the bow and items is wrong, it warps the the hand of the person, you can't move around (walking or teleporting) or i just couldn't figure it, there is only one area/map and you do everything inside of it.
Game modes are basically, shoot targets, shoot targets but with limited arrows, shoot targets against a clock, shoot apples, or shoot anything you want.
I like the Lab version of archery, it has a little subsistence to it where you have to protect a castle. This is just shooting a bow.
I also found out it's not very finished on the gameplay side as i could hold and nocked arrow against the string and throw the bow away from me while still holding the arrow. When you let go the arrow fires as normal through the arrow rest.
I would not recommend this game, I would just play the Lab instead.
This game could use a lot more polish.. Archery in the lab feels much better and looks much better...
I played a bunch of the archery game from the lab, loved it, decided I needed more, and bought this. I am not at all dissapointed. The game is fantastic, and I'm sure it will give me plenty of playtime. It has 5 modes: Target practice, challenge, free shoot, endless, and juggling (where you try to keep apples in the air by continually shooting them). All of them feel great, and the game provides useful stats at the conclusion like accuracy, arrows fired, score and grade. The one complaint I have is that I wish it had some kind of a high score tracker - it doesn't need to be complex, but just some way of comparing your results against previous trials. That beign said, this is a great, well-polished archery game.
EDIT: The dev implemented scoreboards, rejoice!
