Crowe: The Drowned Armory

Beautiful environments, but the story mode is incredibly short, and the gameplay is clumsy.

I REALLY enjoyed the story mode. Only about 15 - 20 minutes of it though. The rest of the game is a mediocre wave shooter. THough lacking in content, I'd say this is worth the price.

I love this game in VR! Awesome scenery…a very creative developer, and they have a game that could retail for $30 - $40. They just need more good puzzles, and some more levels.

In the Story mode, that Level could have been chopped into three (3) Waves or more, creating checkpoints at each level. Then, the ending is fantastically created! But they could have more levels like, then afterward similar endings or Boss fights. The characters they created are phenomenally done…nice job!

The Sceneries they created in the other mode could be used for the various levels…one for each. Please consider adding more content to this games or creating more like it. This game is a winner by far, and others are writing similar reviews. Great concept, and beautifully executed.

Developer: Please keep them coming, and advise future plans in VR Game Development!

~The Good~
If you are looking for a great looking and feeling archery survival wave shooter this games new aurvival mode is great. Tghe story mode feels like a disneyworld VR exhibition with the cute AI fairy companion/commentary, fantastical beasts and awesome post-steamworld feel. A genuine hats off to the developers for nailing a great the mechanics and world in a way that puts this in my demo reel to show the vive off with.

~The Poop~
Now since this is a steam Indie, its time for the bad news. The story mode isn't just short, but jarringly cuts off just when you think the games about to really take off. Seriously feels like I just went on a great date, invited the girl up for coffee and just when getting to second base your roomate kicks the door in to ask how awesome it would be to pilot a steampunk gundam to fight dragons. I feel like unless the devs are secretly building a full game sequel or intending to expand the story that this is going to be one of those games that you reference as a "Could have been one of the greats" with your gamer friends for a long time.

~Price/Value~
Looks like the game originally released for $15, then had a price drop to $8.99 and I bought it on a sale at $4.94. With the added survival mode its a solid buy at $5 but thats as high as there is value considering the variety of wave shooters and archery games out there already with a lot more meat. Considering the price drop, I doubt that we are getting to third base at any time in the future :-/

Crowe is a gorgeous game. One of the best looking games I've played on the Vive. If you like fighting with bows, you will enjoy this. It has a couple cool variations on the traditional bow, like a shield and powerups for your arrows. It's a bit short, but has some satisfying fights.

Awesome game! ★★★★★

I have played my fair share of VR games, and this one is definitely a stand out. The visuals are really vibrant and the actual game play it fun as well! Definitely recommend getting this game!

5/5 ★★★★★

For the developers of this game ,,,,,,,,,,it is a tad short .....think 7 minutes was what it took me to play start to finish , but that said it has gorgeous scenes and graphics. Game play with the bow and shield was fun, but the shooting of enemies was to long and drawn out.

For the price i paid it was worth every cent, I loved the whole short scene and cant wait to see the next installment you have planned.

Fun bow mechanic and a really cool mythology/world - excited for the next installment

First, I like the idea of this game and I love the little AI that buzzes around with all her atitude. But as it stands I cannot reccommend this game to any of my friends. It is incredibly short (took less than 15 minutes to beat if you take out the forced intro and the two, laughably easy "puzzles" you have to sit through). Second, the graphics are blurry and look nowhere near as sharp or clear as the screenshots used to promote the game.


A $5 entry would have made this a less bitter pill to swallow. I couldn't imagine paying the full $19.99 when I can buy a multitude of other VR games that look better and have hours of replayability.

Exceedingly short. As in $5 worth short.

The video and screenshots are impressive and I love magical story-driven action/adventure games. So although I read about the game being (very) short for the price they're asking, I still couldn't resist. Here are my thoughts:

PRO

- I love the mysterious and magical story and the overall cinematic feel of the game
- The bow and shield look and feel really awesome!
- fantastic voice-acting, sounds and perfect music
- excellent game mechanics

CON

- it's curently way too expensive for the content. The DEV team is talking about episodes, but it's unclear whether they will be added for free (and when they will be added). This game is not EA so more clarity about upcoming content (content that continues the story) would be welcome. The game is short and, at one point, it's even artifically extended by a long wave of similar enemies

- a potentially very beautiful environment IF I wouldn't be seeing blurry, jaggy graphics. There's no supersampling option in the game-menu(?!) and using supersampling from the Advanced Settings add-on in SteamVR didn't change anything. I would say the default setting now is something like low or medium, while I wanted to play on high or epic. Bummer :( This can be quite easily fixed if the DEV team would allow for an in-game SS option. I've seen this so many tims with UE4 games : when there's no in-game SS, the game is way too blurry, especially for GTX 1070 and 1080 owners who are used to upscaling their games significantly.

- gameplay is a mixture of simple but logical (and magical) puzzles (wheel turning to bounce light beams) and shooting with a bow. No free movement, only teleport to fix points.

- the in-game menu looks like it's thrown into the game afterwards and rather quickly. It looks sloppy and ugly and there's little to nothing that can be changed or customized

CONCLUSIONS

- if your budget is limited, don't buy it
- if you have a problem with stationary/wave-shooting type of games, don't buy it
- if you don't like short games, don't buy it

BUT

- if you can spare 11 EUR and you love short but magical story-driven games with sweet graphics (after they add supersampling), you might like it....

Bottomline : I can't recommended in the current state, for the price they're asking now....
@DEV-team : please add another episode or lower the price to approx. 5 EUR and add supersampling or high/epic graphics!
