"RECOMMENDATION: NOCK AND LOAD. THIS ONE IS A BLAST”-UPLOAD VR
“A MUST-BUY VR EXPERIENCE FOR ARCHERY FANS”-VR HEADS
“TWISTED ARROW MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE MARVEL’S HAWKEY”-TOMS HARDWARE
Twisted Arrow is a full-tilt, no-holds-barred VR-FPS that gives players an adrenaline-packed arcade style game play. Experience urban warfare as never before by immersing yourself in this frenzied fight for survival. THIS IS NOT A WAVE SHOOTER, but a FPS that lets you traverse through a vast city, up and down tall buildings, and position yourself in strategic areas to make the perfect head shot or try using an explosive arrow to launch NPC units 200ft in the air in a fiery ball of fatality!
Out-manned and outgunned, you are the last line of defense against a high-tech, paramilitary force occupying your city. But don’t feel sorry for yourself, feel sorry for the poor bastard that gets in your way! Armed with the Manticore, the military’s top secret combat bow, and an arsenal of over powered arrows, you will need to fight your way through an enemy armed with high-tech weaponry, armored mechs, attack drones, and a host of biological secrets yet to be uncovered in the remnants of a city on the brink of ruin. Your mission is simple: recon the city, rescue hostages, and get the hell out of dodge while eliminating any and all resistance with extreme prejudice. If it moves, kill it! If it doesn’t move, it’s probably already dead.
Movement: The game was build from the start for fast paced arcade action. Think of the classic arcade game Time Crisis. Its not about discovery or exploration but mayhem and destruction! Designed with predefined teleport areas, allowing you to quickly pick the right path through the city, focusing more on the action then worrying about movement. Yes, it uses teleport locomotion because you have a teleporter! So SHOOT SOMETHING ALREADY!
Ok it's time to Nock and Load and let it rain pain! Unleash maximum mayhem and take your pent-up, inner beast out for a joy ride. Don’t forget to stretch, because you’re going to feel this in the morning.

Good fun! Thoroughly enjoyed this! Graphics are simple but the gameplay and mechanics are solid!
Fun game, makes me feel like a combination of two of those avenging heroes, what with the bow & arrow, plus the shield. Well laid out controls make game play smooth and slick. Graphics are cartoony/arcadey, but not bad by any means! Good variety in the handful of arrows you have, they come in handy in different locations. Not sure how long the full game is, I’m only an hour in, but liking it so far. I scooped it up on sale, and can already tell there’s plenty of goodness here for the price I paid. Thumbs: UP!
Locomotion by teleport and ONLY to pre-set points. To me, this is a deal-breaker and breaks all flow of what could have been a fun bow-and-arrow shoot'em'up. Robo Recall managed to make teleporting part of the core gameplay and make the otherwise weird mechanic work for it's favor.
Yep. Just look at how many hours I put to this game, I love it.... this is by far one of my favorite games because of the graphics and story. This is a must have for anyone that loves action games.
I just got done finishing Twisted Arrow, and overall I'd say it was a great experience.
While the art and models could use some improvement, I absolutely loved the level and enemy design. One of the things I've been craving in VR are some large scale bosses to really let me feel a sense of scale in the world. This game delivers on that very well.
Traversing the enviroment was something that I was skeptical about at first. In general free movement is really nice in the majority of games, however I found myself enjoying the node based teleport system in Twisted Arrow. The levels that you travel through are fairly large and I found the teleproting rarely detracted from the game, in fact the I found the system to be a a solid way to direct player movements throughout the level and it never felt overly restrictive.
There were a few very large bosses, if I had to guess around 2-3 stories tall. Most of them have some sort of weak spot that you need to go for and while you whittle its health down those weak spots can change to switch up gameplay.
The worst part of Twisted Arrow is the game length, I beat the entire game in under 2 hours. While I think that it's likely that I will play this game again, I am glad that I bought it on sale. For the content that is included I think 9.99 would be a much more fair price.
Worth the buy if you can get it on sale.
Great game, well priced. Campaign only play is more or less 3 to 4 hours in my case on medium. I really enjoyed he game from start to finish. If you like bow games you will like this one. It is not as sweaty as some other games and you will eventually get tangled up in your cord but not as bad as other games. Teleport keeps the game honest from avoiding exploits so you have to get good shots off and avoid enemies with out just out smarting the game. Super powers are fun and they are offered at a regular pace. I'm glad I bought this game and many of my non VR friends enjoy the experience. " I feel just like... [insert name of bow weilding charachter from any movie or TV show]!!!" If they offer some DLC on a different campaign I would be in for the right price. Runs well on low end machines.
Great fun with decent replayability. I played through on easy then on medium and I still drop in to do a level or two.
Good performance; I never noticed any judder. I thought the fixed-location teleportation system would bug me, but it works really well with the game, structuring combat, movement and levels.
I really enjoy this game. I like the art direction, the environment and the bow mechanics. Although the story isn't anything amazing I really do like the narrative and that you feel like you are actually working towards something instead of just mindless wave after wave. It feels like a normal FPS game where you advance, some new enemies and areas and you fight past it, which I personally like.
The bosses are also pretty fun to battle against! They weren't super hard or revolutionary, but I definitely was sweating and really enjoyed the scale of it. As well as they have some strategy of quickness, correct arrow, and teleporting. My favorite is by far (mini spoiler alert?) big zombie golem guy thing. The scale of it was awesome and shooting down from on top of cars killing poisoned people aka zombies and fighting him with explosive arrows was just a fun experience! It was really immersive and made me feel like a total BA.
Pros:
Your arrows are pretty sweet. Bomb, mine, frozen, normal, and auto-homing.
You can shoot barrels, explosives, crates, lights, etc. So a decent amount of stuff to shoot.
You really feel like a BA dodging bullets since on some enemies it is hard since time isn't slowed.
It isn't a walk in the park, even on Medium I have failed missions a few times at the end!
Cons:
It's short.
Sometimes trying to change arrows takes pretty long while getting shot.
Sometimes you will get lost in the level, but usually there are prompts trying to explain your next objective.
TLDR - If you like "The Lab" longshot challenge then buy this game. The bow mechanics are solid and overall it's pretty enjoyable. Nice art style, good sound FX, and satisfying to kill enemies. I would expect someone to finish it in about 1.5-2 hours, perhaps more, on harder difficulties.
I only payed like $3 for it so I'll recommend it for that much.
The bow mechanics feel pretty good, which is good or bad depending on your aim.
The performance is pretty terrible all around, which I don't understand since this is one of the most n64-looking games I've played in VR.
The gameplay I'd rate average. You normal bow is kinda fun to use, but you need to use the alt-arrows to kill large groups of enemies. Switch to and using these alt-arrows doesn't work very well though. It takes to long to switch to the alt-arrow you want without accidentally using another, and then you usually only get 1-2 shots before your power meter runs out.
How is this not getting more attention, seriously this is one of the better games for the vive. Been playing for 2 sweaty hours and I'm so happy. Read a review that nailed it. If you wanna be batman get arkham vr. Wanna be the green arrow get this. It was my first thought when I played it, "Holy shit I'm Oliver Queen".
Graphics well polished with a nice cartoon twist on explosions.
Fairly decent AI, a lot better than some games.
Excellent bow mechanics with a good choice of arrows
Im really struggling to find any cons to be fair although I'm only a couple of hours in.
If this gets good regular updates or even DLC this is definatley a must for your library.
As for the movement I'm very much on the free movement side but teleportation works so well with this game. In fact free movement wouldn't work, due to the building traversing.
Just stop reading this and buy it.
Well-polished arcade style bullet hell bow game. The bow mechanics are solid, and the fixed-teleportation areas actually work really well with the game. The 6 different arrow types (that you always have access to via energy levels) all add a great feel to combat, and this was one of the games I actually got into ducking and dodging for. Even at medium difficulty, this game has had a few challenging stages, and it's been satisfying to continue retrying levels to increase accuracy and score. At the sale price of $5, this was one of my best valued purchases this summer sale for sure.
TL;DR - Solid single player game if you don't mind fixed location teleport.
----------------
One of those VR games that's debatibly a Must Have purchase. Inexpensive well polished single player game that stands out from other wave defense archery titles. This is not another Longbow clone this is a full game.
You actually move (teleport) to different positions and progress through a level. Don't just stay in one place. Inclusing some decent story/reasons why you are completing various objectives. (Teleport, not free movement.)
Nice variety of arrows and limited energy giving some tactical choices regarding when to use the more expensive toys like explosive arrows.
It's not perfect, as sometimes the enemies get unreasonably confused by your teleporting, and the lack of a checkpoint system means you are better off playing on easy if replaying a nearly finished level bothers you. Compared to other more expensive must have VR games like Raw Data, Arizona Sunshine, and Serious Sam, this offers a solid value. And a deal that shouldn't be passed up is it goes on sale.
All that said, there are a few people who should avoid it; those who only want multiplayer, those who demand free movement locomotion, and those who almost exclusivly demo thier Vive to groups. Getting a new player familiar with the controls and then through the first level takes a bit longer then you typically give someone in a group/demo situation.
It was fun at first, but quickly got really annoying having to start whole mission from the begining each time I die.
I didn't like the aproach of having preset teleport points becasue it makes the game a lot harder for those with small playspaces, as sometimes you just can't step to the side and take cover as intended becase you'd be walking into a real life wall, and then you're forced to face a whole army without any cover... and frankly gameplay just isnt designed to allow for rambo style play as once you got few enemies shooting at you and youre out of shield, your only option is run in circles if you got a huge playspace or teleport back and wait 5 minutes for your health and energy to regen.
There were a couple of moments in gameplay where I'd get ambushed from behind by a group of enemies, which meant death unless I played the level before and knew where and when enemies were gonna ambush me. This would be okay if dying was a 30 sec setback, in stead of a 5-10 minute one.
Then there is the lack of one-handed-aiming option (holopoint style aiming). For a bow and arrow centric game to not support that is silly. Personally this is what I hated the most, as I'm a seasoned holopoint player, and very fast and acurate with one handed aiming style. Forcing me to use two handed aiming feels like trying to play a fammiliar game with all my keybindings reshuffled.
The best game I've tried on Vive so far! Very nice bow game. The content is also very good. I'm playing on Medium to have a bit of a challenge, and after 4 hrs I'm still not done with the campaign.
Pros:
* Story mode
* not a wave shooter
* Very nice way of movementsystem (teleport to certain fixed points)
Cons:
* My arms get tired ;)
Above average game! This is a gem and should not be missed. Gameplay was exciting and fun and the voiceovers were well-done. I got stuck a few times not knowing what to do next, but soon realized that I needed to explore every available area... so the game pushes you to move around the whole board. This is a perfect addition to the bow and arrow games on the Vive. Very well done!
This one is truly a hidden gem. Unlike most other bow & arrow games that are either tower defense or wave shooters, Twisted Arrow is a bow & arrow game where you're moving through several very different levels, using different arrows (explosive/freeze/trap/split/regular) to get rid of a variety of enemies.
The level of polish is quite high as this comes from the same devs that made Final Approach so it's not a lone dev working in his spare time and it shows. Graphics are quite good and the feel of the bow is nailed perfectly, to me it feels very much like QuiVR but moving through the levels is where it's at.
I had concerns about the movement system but after playing for about half hour I understood the design choices and they really built the game around them very well. If you enjoy bow & arrow games, definitely try this one.
I've only played the first level, but I can already tell you this is a fun experience. Time Crisis meets Bullet Sorrow with an advanced ultra high tech Bow/Arrow. This is NOT a wave shooter, you actually have missions that require to teleport up/dowon structure, alley ways, corridors and court yards. Worth the price, the audio is pretty good, adding to the intensity. They put some quality work into this project. On sale as of this posting, don't hesitate.
The only negative is not due to the game itself, but rather the visual constraints of the technology as it relates to the HMD, particularly when it comes to the enemies at a distance appearing slightly pixelated. This is the same dev team that created Final Approach, which is fun a unique vr experience in and of itself.
Great game, action packed, like Lethal Enforcers (remember that one, oh old soul?) with bow and arrow on VR!
Tho the bow can be tiring lol it has it's own style and some scenes, if you are on the right location, can have amazing effects that you'll try to crouch on reflex.
Played it on my HTC Vive with 2 GTX 980 SLI, and the experience was flawless.
Give it a try, it's quite fun!
Great game. Lot of fun. Graphics look good. Bow mechanics work well. Nice choice of arrow types. Would love to see them add more arrow types in the future that could be chosen on the trackpad from your bow hand.
Turning the bow at a 90 degree angle to use the shield takes some getting used to but adds to the challenge. You can't shoot and use the shield at the same time.
I only played the first level so far but am looking forward to playing more. Well worth the price especially while it's discounted at $15 right now. Feels very polished and is definitely one of the better bow and arrow games out there.
For those thinking this is a wave shooter, it's not. It's kind of like Bullet Sorrow or Robo recall where you can point and teleport to different spots. Not that linear though. There are a number of places to teleport to on any given map. Some people will not like it if they are completely expecting free locomotion but it works well with this kind of game. If you could move anywhere it would take away some of the challenge of hitting targets.
This is NOT a wave shooter, it's closer to Bullet Sorrow but with a distinctive art style . Much bigger play area too as you move through a city, sometimes atop cranes or battling it out on top of a skyscraper with armed drones and choppers dropping troops in front of you. There's multiple 'travel points' to choose from and cover like cars and storage containers (lots of destructible scenery) and i thought the movement model suits the game. It's well enough done that you can stake out an area without being 'dropped into it' without any cover. Unlike say Metal Assault, if you have a large play area you can use plenty of space for cover.
This is a bow game and thankfully the bow feels really good. Plus there are bow options on the settings menu so you can customise angle etc. Different arrows can make things easier and there are scattered health and energy pickups.
I really enjoyed this and it's a delight to play a VR title that's so polished, you can tell these guys have made games before! Best i've played in a while and definitely worth $15.
Cons:
not much really. Die fighting the boss and you have to restart that level - at least i couldn't see any other option.
Normally run a 6700k/1080@ SS 1.5 which i had to dial back to 1.2 as there was some reprojection.
9/10
