Gimmicky outdated VR shovelware with dead multiplayer.
This is not worth buying.
There is nothing here except barebones gunplay and janky physics.
Make this game $2.99 or take it down.
Your going to be in for a rooting tooting good time. More Epic than that Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig movie!
Cowbots and Aliens makes me think of TF2 - it's silly and fun, with tons of little easter eggs in the layout and decorations. I quickly and easily got immersed in the world, enjoying the scenery and sillyness of it all. I'm still pretty awkward at VR shooters, but I felt comfortable playing this one and learning all the awkward new muscle memories I need to develop for VR, such as picking items up, throwing things, and trying to shoot your gun without accidentally also dropping it. The furniture and terrain are also great, allowing you to hide around corners, duck behind a table, or use a chair as a shield. This game gives you the space and feedom to move your body to advantage, and quick reflexes and the willingness to actually crouch or duck your body can be a huge help. I recommend a properly clear playing area.
The cartoonish robots and aliens also aliviate (at least for me) that awkwardness when playing in a multiplayer VR space, where other players may get too physically close to you, especially in a deliberate manner. I was able to feel comfortable in my avatar skin when close to other players since the game animation of a floaty robot or alien made it difficult and nonsensical for a fellow player to produce vulgar movements designed to make someone else uncomfortable.
The hardest part of this game is trying to convince other players to play it - the lobby is a huge amount of fun and seems awesome enough to be the game itself! But there are actual competiton game modes and challenges to play, if you can manage to convince other folks to abandon the saloon brawl at the launch screen.
Experienced on the Meta Quest 3
You can view my video here: nope, doing a video would only show how out-dated the game really is
I don't know why Chicken Waffle / Wizard Games Inc. are releasing this now on December 24, 2023. This is a game you de-list from Steam, not release out of Early Access. This was a good VR game back in 2017. There weren't very many good online multiplayer pvp shooters in VR back then and in this one you could pick up knives, beer bottles, etc. and throw them or even pick up a chair and block stuff with it. It was innovative.
However, now in 2023, this game is out-dated and nobody is playing it. Although it has full locomotion (with smooth & snap turning options), you really have to use teleport. Enemies can simply teleport their way out of danger so you have to wait until they land in their teleport landing spot as there is a delay to when they can teleport again. The gun mechanics are all very simple. They have awful toy-like sights, and they have no punch whatsoever, plus they have slow auto-reloads as well. As you may have guessed, the TTK is very slow.
The maps are not well designed. You'll get stuck in between objects (so you'll have to teleport). The spawn points are bad. While in its heyday of early 2017 VR it was near the top of pvp shooters, now it would be near the bottom. It does have bots and it has different game modes. So you can try it out by yourself, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're playing with your friends and there is lots of booze involved.
Rate 4/10.

A fun team shooter game where chairs are both decent weapons and impromtu shields.
It's a great bar brawl, with lots of random items around for fun, frantic gameplay
No one plays this game and it's meant to be played with others. Judging by the time I've spent messing around with bots I don't think it would be much fun with others anyway.
I'm 43 minutes into this game and whilst there isn't much to it - what there is, is fun. It reminds me a little of Smashbox Arena (please note: that is a superior game) in the way it plays (movement) and the guns all seem to be on point with aiming. I would like to see more maps and more weapons though and - at the moment - it is fairly quiet online. Thankfully you can set yourself up with some bots so at least you have a game to play even if there is no one else around.
A well made VR multiplayer shooter. The mechanics work fine, and it looks and feels excellent. VR multiplayer needs this game. Great potential, but needs more players; that's why I'm writing this review.
It's easily the most fun i've had in a VR multiplayer game. The only downside is, that the playerbase is basically zero so
finding a random opponent will most likely not happen.
Just gather your friends and enjoy well-refined multiplayer.
This game receives my seal of approval and recommendations.
Excellent mechanics and very immersive. Jumping into a room, flipping a table and ducking behind it for cover, picking up a bottle and smashing it on the bar, leaning around a wall to peek into a room; it all works very intuitively. Had a lot of fun playing it against the bots as well.
It does need some more levels, weapons, etc. (it is early access), but the core mechanic is very solid. Highly recommended.
Played this game with a couple of friends and it was a lot of fun! Most of which was derived just from screwing around in and around the bar. The game modes are fun though and the shooting feels really good. Melee weapons are a bit hard to throw and don't grab by the hilt unless you pick it up the right way. The graphics are charming and fit the game very well, and if you have friends to play with it provides for an entertaining sandbox to screw around in.

It might be a good game, but its multiplayer only and there are no players?
Maybe there are too many "realms" like US West, East, Europe, Asia, etc etc.. like 8 or 10 different ones...
If there would be only 1 or 2 servers, the chance getting in a game with players might be higher.
Great game! This is one of the best VR shooters I've played!
Everything in the environment is intractable, and there is no shortage of interesting and viable strategies.
As a developer also working in VR, I have a lot of respect for all the time and love that was obviously put into this game.
Being a multiplayer dependent game, I really hope that this game gets popular and stays popular. I suggest that the devs spend some time working on marketing and publicizing, and perhaps try to create some sort of ranking system to keep players coming back.
This game is tons of fun. You can interact and beat each other with almost anything in the environment. There isn't much to the game. A few extra maps would be nice, but the fun really lies in finding what ever you can to beat the ever-living crap out those dirty alien scumb.
Absolutely fantastic even in this Early Access state.
Until now everything i'd tried in VR had been somewhat passive and rarely did I get tense.
Well let me tell you, nothing compares to flipping a table to avoid getting shot by a robot with taped-on whiskers and then throwing a chair at him since I accidentaly dropped my gun.
Most fun I've had in VR so far. Will definetly play again and watch out for updates.
Just be warned, wear something comfy and stay safe because you'll be doing a lot of sudden movements in this one.
10/10 would throw shot glasses at floaty robots again
Quite frankly I was surprised by the quality of this game after picking it up on a whim. It's a quality shooter and great fun. The game is very polished with neat clean graphics. If you liked paintball in rec room or art of fight then this might be for you.
Cowbots & Aliens is a multiplayer saloon brawler set in an old-western town filled with Robots and Aliens. It's an absolute blast and does a lot of things beautifully that other VR games fail miserably at.
If you like the Paintball mode in Rec Room, but are left wanting a lot more, this game is for you.
First of all, the physics in this game are absolutely fantastic. Most VR games suck when it comes to object collisions, but C&A nails it. Every object reacts realistically, and there are tons of objects to interact with. You can flip over tables for cover, grab chairs and use them as a shield until they break apart, then use one of the broken off chair legs as a weapon, or just chuck shot glasses and broken bottles. Of course there's guns too, but the improvised weapons are a lot more fun. You can open every door and move anything on a hinge, even bash someone's head in with the flip-up counter. It's all totally intuitive. There's lots of fun objects, like a piano, horshoes, and a card table, and you can use almost anything as a weapon. You can stack objects on top of each other realistically as well, and even pick up big objects by using both hands. It's a lot of fun just to play around with the physics and see what's possible.
The multiplayer is brilliantly implemented and the different game modes are all really fun as well. There's FFA, Team Deathmatch, "No Guns" and "Gold rush" which has two teams fighting over a bunch of gold bars. The "lobby" is a little western town with a tiny saloon and often has more people brawling than the actual game modes themselves, it's a great place to hang out and chat with people, or break a bottle over somebody's head and start a fight.
The art style I think speaks pretty well for itself, but like many VR games, it looks a lot better than screen shots give it credit. Personally, I love the cartoony old-west/sci-fi mashup style, and all the little details on all the Robots and Aliens like smoking pipes and taped-on mustaches are really funny.
This game can only get better as more people start playing and Devs continue to update and add more.
Thanks Devs for such a fun VR game, can't wait to see more content in the future!
Here is my first time gameplay video:

I also review other VR games on my channel: www.youtube.com/rpatenaude
I abosolutely love this game! The graphics are great and the gameplay is very smooth and fun! Weapons physics worked really well for me. Would love to see more levels as well as more players. I was in a game with some people for a couple of minutes then after was unable to find anyone else to play with for some time. The game type selection showed all the player counts as zero which made me sad. I eventually did find a 1 on 1 game with someone which was super fun! I SAY BUY THIS GAME!!!
All I can say is wow, This game was alot of fun, the physics, the shooting, the throwing and its f'en hilarious to play. Got to play with the dev a bit tonight, was one of the funnest nights of VR.
Play Horseshoes in VR in the lobby!
It's fun. It's one of those pickup and play games that anybody can play.
I thought it was a 1v1 game but to my surprize there was a bunch of people roaming around the lobby. We ended up playing a 4v4 match.
You do have to change your "region" depending on the time of day.
