Holopoint is pure archery madness. Fight your way through waves of responsive targets, samurai, and highly dangerous ninjas - all while drawing, nocking, and shooting your arrows as quickly as possible.

И вправду интересная игра для того, чтобы заняться спортом. Натягивание лука и стрельба вдобавок с уклонениями от проджектайлов неплохо так напрягают мышцы! Любителям спорта вполне могу рекомендовать, но не за такую цену.
Игра за свою цену предлагает всего 2 режима, которые геймплейно никак друг от друга не отличаются и игра быстро надоедает.
Eins der Spiele, die es schon länger gibt, ich aber jetzt erst entdeckt habe. Für mich funktioniert es gut, es fühlt sich aus meiner Sicht auch nicht veraltet an oder so.
Womit nun beginnen? Pfeil und Bogen lassen sich (scheinbar mittlerweile) in zwei Variationen nutzen. Frei oder beidhändig. Den Pfeil muss man nicht mehr jedesmal von hinten aus dem Köcher holen. Einmal abgeschossen, erscheint der nächste Pfeil automatisch gleich wieder am Bogen.
Es gibt den Modus: Welle. Und: Zeit.
Welle beginnt recht einsteigerunfreundlich, finde ich. Aber aktuell bin ich auch absolut unfit und der Schein kann trügen. Jedenfalls tauchen Würfel in verschiedenen Größen auf, in jeder Richtung (unbeweglich) hängend (man muss sich also permanent drehen). Diese abgeschossen (man hat dafür nur eine bestimmte Zeit zur Verfügung), schießen sie eine Kugel auf einen zurück. Und das ist die Stelle, die ich als einsteigerunfreundlich bezeichne. Diese Kugel kommt sehr schnell angerast. Und man muss dieser natürlich ausweichen. Das bringt einen sehr schnell ins Schwitzen, macht sehr viel Spaß, könnte für manche Leute aber zu schnell sein (wenn man bedenkt, dass es bereits auf Welle eins so ist. Und das auch die Würfel, die man hinter sich übersehen hat, eine Kugel abschießen, wenn sich der Würfel auflöst, da Zeit abgelaufen).
Es gibt aber auch den Modus Zeit (bis zu 5 min kann man einstellen). Hier lässt sich von Stufe 2 (warum 2, gibt es die 1 hier nicht oder funktioniert es nicht?) bis 8 (oder neun?) die Schwierigkeit auswählen. Ändert aber nicht viel daran, dass aus den Würfeln die Kugeln im gleichen schnellen Tempo auf einen zugeschossen kommen.
Man kann den Würfelmodus aber abwählen und stattdessen menschliche Feinde auswählen. Blaue und/oder gelbe/orange. Die blauen sind harmlos und greifen einen erst an, wenn sie wirklich direkt vor einem stehen (oder hinter einem, wenn man nicht aufpasst - denn auch sie kommen aus allen möglichen Richtungen und sie stehen nicht nur rum, sondern bewegen sich). Die gelben werfen Wurfsterne oder sowas auf einen und springen auch ein wenig herum. Man hat nun die Wahl, nur mit Würfeln zu spielen. Oder nur mit den blauen Menschen. Oder nur mit den orangen Gegnern. Oder man kann alle drei wählen, oder nur zwei Targets. Mit anderen Worten, man kann sich hier sein Trainingslevel selbst zusammen stellen, Schwierigkeit und damit Anzahl der Gegner. Die Würfel würde ich also definitiv als Fitnessmodus bezeichnen. Die blauen Typen eher als Genauigkeitstraining (jedenfalls auf der leichten Stufe).
Es gibt noch eine freischaltbare Option, keine Ahnung, was einen dort erwartet. Und was man schaffen muss, um dies frei zu schalten. Weiter als Welle 7 bin ich bisher nicht gekommen :( . Das reicht schon mal nicht aus.
(wenn man Stufe 5 einmal geschafft hat, kann man jedesmal von hier starten. Man muss also nicht immer wieder bei 1 beginnen).
Ich finde es ist ein sehr spaßiges und auch gut anstrengendes Training. Vor allem das Erscheinen der Gegner aus den unterschiedlichen Richtungen ist schön fordernd und eine super Übung. Vor allem im Zeitmodus mit allen Gegnertypen eine actionreiche Erfahrung.
Simple, but great fun, especially with wireless.
ngl this ones a hunk of ♥♥♥♥!
Good early VR game design that is still a really good example to pay attention to, and extremely fun to boot. Play this.
Shovelware from the 2016 VR madness . Would be a minigame if it wasn't VR.
Exactly what it looks like, which isn't a bad thing. Easy to figure out, hard to master. Also physically exhausting if you get into it, which I'd recommend.
Nice cardio
Great game.
[h1] A Rank Game [/h1]
[i] A game I think about while petting your cat [/i]
Another Gimmick VR game, thet gets boring in a very short time.
Need to workout shoulders, the rest of your body and... did I mention Shoulders? Try this thing if you enjoyed Hunger Game's Katnis style bow training... So much funm and more than capable to bring out some sweat!
Hard work but so much fun!
I haven't had a workout this good since my 6-hour-long black belt test. I've not moved in this way in a very long time, and there are EXTREMELY few other VR games that prompt as much full-body movement. Once you achieve a flow of movement, you start feeling like sweating poetry in motion. It's beautiful, it's simple, it runs so well, and deserves to be sensationally popular.
Still one of the best VR games out there!
My favorite part of when I choose something to do is when you wait and do nothing.

[b] The Good Stuff [/b]
Holopoint is simple... you're standing in the middle of a room with a bow and arrows and you shoot samurai warriors before they reach you, or shoot cubes and dodge incoming projectiles.
Shooting the bow feels great, and it's on-par with games like Elven Assassin or The Lab in terms of how good it feels to shoot the bow, and this is a good thing.
[b] Game Aspects [/b]
The main objective in Holopoint is to shoot through waves of samurai warriors, or cubes which shoot projectiles at you, and get as far as you can, while exercising without ever noticing... unless you snap your back like I did and nearly pinch a nerve... Holopoint is a really good workout, which has you twisting and turning around to quickly shoot enemies trying to flank you. You're also dodging projectiles in the middle of all of this, and you must have pretty good reflexes to do all of this. Just be careful with this one if you're a boomer like I am, because this game definitely taught me that I am not as agile as I once was...
That being said, if you want to tone it down to meet your skillset, you can do this in their menu system which allows you to input the amount of enemies you wish you fight, to meet your skill level.
Oh, and there's also a leaderboard to keep track of your score, and you can compete with friends here.
[b] The Bad Stuff [/b]
As with Space Pirate Trainer which I reviewed just before this, Holopoint doesn't carry many flaws. It's a well crafted game which gives you exactly what it promises.
With this in mind, it doesn't offer anything else, which means there isn't much to this game. It's simple, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but just know that there is a single map to shoot in, and you only can only choose from 2 enemy types, and the cubes.
[b] Is It Worth It? [/b]
Holopoint is fantastic if you want to add an extra game to your library for fitness. It's even better if you enjoy archery games, because it feels good to shoot arrows in this game.
That being said, Holopoint feels... hollow... There isn't any co-op or versus multiplayer modes, and there's only a single map to play in. It's a very basic game, but it does offer the great benefits of getting your heart pumping and your body moving.
If you're wanting a more in-depth but relaxed archery game which has co-op multiplayer and more environments to shoot in, then I'd recommend Elven Assassin. Look out for my review on this soon!
This is the game that got me hooked on VR! An incredible workout that truly feels like Ninja Training! Reminds me of the simulation sequence in hunger games
If you want a fitness VR game then get this on sale. If you don't want to have you legs burn, don't get this at all. I reccomend.
Played on HTC Vive Cosmos.
Definitely the game I use to work out. The first 5 rounds are pretty tame; hell, if you're better than me then the first 10 aren't that crazy. But once you ramp it up a bit your quads will be on fire, and you'll be struggling to catch your breath. This game makes you sweat. Not necessarily in firing arrows, but definitely when dodging attacks. I played this one at a friend's house for a few hours total, so don't mind the .5 hour at review time. I came to this game knowing what I was doing. Definitely my favorite VR experience so far; half the reason I got this system was for the exercise I knew I was gonna get out of the games. Trying to play games that keep my active over stationary ones (though stationary is pretty great when I want to relax too). Holopoint is one of the games I specifically got my Cosmos for, because its intensity was exactly what I was looking for in a VR experience.
This game has amazing reviews so I bought it and the Chronicles game during a sale. I finally tried it a few days ago and... well for me, it sucks. I realise I am in the vast minority here but I couldn't even play this. I have a Valve Index with near perfect tracking, so the hardware is not an issue. The problem for me was after you shoot the hologram cubes, a projectile comes super fast to your face and "kills" you. Apparently on the second hit it's literally game over. I do not understand how people are hitting those so fast as I nearly dislocated my shoulder attempting to grab my second arrow to hit it. Really not sure what you're supposed to do. So for me, this game is a complete waste of money and I couldn't even get a refund as 2 weeks had already past...
If you can play this then props to you! I t looks like it could be really fun. I'll stick to Elven Assassin.
tldr; You are expected to pull an arrow within seconds of shooting the objects to destroy a projectile. Getting hit twice kills you. I can't even get past the training let alone the main game...
Огонь
The barest of bones VR archery wave shooters, and I mean the BAREST of bones: the menu, the graphics, the options-- all of it feels like temporary placeholders you'd see in a free VR demo.
Also the targets appear in all 360 degrees with no option to disable that part, leading to huge potential for some bad cord tangling if you get too into it; I mean yes there are VR add-ons to help you with that, but when the game doesn't give you an option to disable them and it's all about speed/turning around to face targets asap, tangling's bound to happen.
It's a good workout, sure, but there's plenty of other VR games out there that offer that as well, so that's not a good enough selling point for me.
This game is fantastic for working out.
Blast some music & start some time trials.
Will improve dexterity, reaction times, balance and coordination.
fun and gets you moving.
Jeu fonctionne très bien avec oculus, très fluide. Style archer mais y a mieux ! Je recommande pour le fun de ce jeu !
I always use this game to benchmark my wireless headset.
Fun little workout game. In 2020 it is now a bit dated - not a lot of variety to gameplay. Still worth picking it up on sale.
I got this game because I really liked archery combat in SACRALITH and found this game recommended on reddit thread relating to archery in VR. My main problem with this game is that it's very limited. You are in a dojo shooting floating blocks surrounding you 360 degrees and you have to dodge projectiles coming at you. You have to kill cubes to proceed to the next wave, If you get hit by projectiles too many time it's game over.
I felt a lot of the mechanics detracted from the core game loop of shooting arrows. The spawn/attack rate of the cubes made me constantly dodge projectiles and look around all around me which distracted me from aiming and shooting. Being on the low ground also gives poor vantage point to shoot arrows making it unsatisfying. The "wave" mechanics felt pointless and dying from projectiles from behind and having to spend 5-10 seconds for a new game quickly got me disinterested in the game
Well it was fun while it lasted.
I have run in to a bug that can't be resolved. I've tried to reinstall the game, verified the files and reinstalling windows. updating EVERY THING, yet the bug remains. I even mailed the devs asking for help and havent recived an awnser. There is no forum posts, no reddits, no youtube clips or anything mentioning this any where.
No awnser or game updates, so sadly my feeling is that this is dead ware.
The bug in question is that no targets appeare in dojo mode. the game runs just fine, just nothing to shoot at apear no matter how long you wait.
This was a great and super fun VR exersise game. I seriusly hope that the devs do come back and fix it.
感觉身体被掏空
Poor graphics, Poor sound, Poor Mechanics..This does not live up to the good reviews. Back to my long time workout games Thrill of Fight and BoxVR instead.. Refunded
This is hard and you can get a good workout in playing this. I am not as fast as I use to be but my little brother played it and helped me pass it. If you like hard games and or a just the workout this is not bad.
I would rate this a 3 out of 5.
expensive for what it is, cheaper game out there that are better.
Just couldn't seem to get into this one - controls felt clunky, but maybe that's just me...
Love it for the intense physical exercise
Felt extremely unrealistic, coming from someone who owns a bow. Arrow physics are off, the grip on the bow feels horrible, like you're gripping the limb. In contrast, The Lab felt very realistic, and the two are so far apart I'd take any reviews comparing the two and saying they're the same in realism with a massive dose of salt.
That being said, the game really gets you moving, and it's pretty cheap. If you're just looking for that then go ahead and get it, if you're looking for realism or are familiar with archery pass on this one.
Played for 25 minutes for the first time today. I have never moved so much in VR before. My legs are absolutely wrecked! I can't wait to get back in.
Do you want to wreck your body?
This is the game for you
Do you want to sweat?
I play the first 6 levels of this game and I attack my water bottle like a rabid animal. Sure I'm a bit out of shape, but good god.
Anyway, it's a game where you shoot arrows at things that are also shooting back at you, and later on walking menacingly toward you. You've gotta duck and bob and sidestep while spinning around constantly because things are trying to kill you from all directions. It is stressful and physically exhausting and one of the most fun things I've done in years.
Definitely make sure you have a decently sized space, mine's about 2.4x2.4m and it's just big enough to not get in the way. I have to remove my bed from my room (a process I've streamlined) to get that though. And this is a game that will benefit greatly from wireless if you can swing that.
Good game, trying to avoid the cable while playing is an art in itself though.
sorter le sur quest ainsi plus de probleme de cable
Challenging game and great fun if you enjoy the difficulty, one of the few archery games where i don't feel like i'm fighting against the bow and arrow, it feels natural and it's a good workout, very fast paced. slightly basic compared to games like Sacralith but basic doesnt mean lower quality or less fun... also much more intense, overall very enjoyable game.
bought it yesterday
played for 40 minutes
can't get out of bed today. 10/10 would destroy my body again.
Best VR game
Not very complex, repetitive, no plots, and the graphics aren't exactly inspiring, BUT SO MUCH FUN
Controls are perfect, which combined with acceptable graphics make you feel like you are really an archer fighting ninjas
Whole reason I bought VR was because someone showed me this game on their Vive early on. Great arrow physics great tracking super fun game for everyone! Wireless setups make this game GOD MODE
Great workout!
Really love this game, it's simple but it ends up being an amazing workout.
Simple fun exercise game. Works out my legs and gets my heart rate up. It never gets boring.
A intense game for a great workout. Grab this and not the sequel(it runs too poorly on current-gen hardware).
For ultimate replayability, mute the in-game music and stream music using spotify or something similar.
Worst bow physics ive seen in a VR game yet, tied along with horrible audio and no way set which direction you want to be your front. Just get something else.
I wanted a good archery game as I have enjoyed archery mechanics in VR, such as the Longbow game in Steam's the Lab.
What I got was a game of dodgeball, and I was very close to having my headset fall off my head to the ground because you have to dodge so fast. Avoid an arrow being shot from 2 or 3 metres away? Seriously? In an early wave of learning even?
Strongly doubt I will play it a second time.
I play bare feet.
Last time I played my helmet went off flying from my head on its own.
2 hits you die
Dodge it, squat it, bend your torso over it, back, right, left and neck in every direction. You get it I hope, it is VERY INTENSE, GET WARMED UP BEFORE. It's even more intense than Beat Saber that is to say how much you'll sweat and explode your cardio. The music gets me pumped fast, it's the kind of game you play 30 min before you put down the helmet and you go take a fresssssh shower, I am not exagerating.
highly recommended, don't get thrown like I did for a very long time because it does not look good from the store or on videos, this is a must have on VR until I find a solo bow game that good.
refunded for lack of content
Great archery game that makes you move around a lot. Good way to get some exercise while having some fun. Recommend to any fans of archery.
Perfect exercise game and very different from most of the other VR games suitable for that purpose.
[h1]This is my favourite VR game[/h1]
I bought this soon after release when getting my HTV Vive and I love this game - its difficult, but rewarding [i](and very cool)[/i]
It feels quite reel when you pull the bow back and shoot too
I recommend this game if you have VR
Really great exercise!
I tried hard to like this game, but I just felt frustrated by it. Maybe my play-space needs to be bigger (though it supposedly meets requirements). The bow mechanics feels really … flimsy. Not sure how to describe it. I play a lot of other active VR games but this one really messed with my neck. Finally uninstalled it.
Best VR game hands down.
As we get closer to the 3 year anniversary guess I should finally write one of these lol. Normally I dont write reviews but sometimes a game compels me too, this is one of those games. Way back when I first got my vive this was one of the original games that I fell in love with. Sure its a wave shooter but its very enjoyable for me at the end of my vr sessions to play holopoint until I cant progress any further, even give me a killer workout. So if you wanna use one of the best feeling bows in vr to fight waves of virtual enemies till your leg want to fall off this game is for you! Also Im still playing this one in 2019 over the new one because of reported performance issues, and I just love this one so much. The only way it could be better is if this game comes to the new Oculus Quest in the future, I would def be buying more copies.
Best VR game I've found for exercise. Play is fast-paced and forces you to move around and dodge.
Simple. Energetic Archery Fun!
Great game!
You'll feel like Legolas in the matrix dojo.
The game is fun an challenging, it will make yo move a lot and sweat.
Excelent workout, your legs will feel it.
Pros:
Fun
Challenging
Great workout
Cons:
not the best graphics
Some things that need to be polished, like a button to fast switch wich had hold the bow (this is needed IMO)
Eu amo esse jogo! Além de ter um bom desafio, você se movimenta muito!
https://youtu.be/O9VLfGy_BXs
TL;DR the game is lacking content. Just go play the archer mini game on The Lab instead.
Honestly I thought this game looked really cool. I liked the bow game in The Lab. But honestly, the shooting just feels weird. Once you learn one game, unless the positions and mechanics of shooting, are the same or very similar, it doesn't feel right.
To start, the game lacks content, there are two game modes, time trial and wave mode. In time trial to try to get as many points as possible until the timer runs out. In wave mode you try to survive as many waves as possible before you get hit twice, by the square's projectiles. That's it, there's no tutorial, no challenges to complete. Nothing, you're on your own in a wave archer game (or a time trial archer game, which ever game mode you choose).
The initial concept is really good, but honestly it just feels like an incomplete game. The Lab's archer mini game has more depth then this whole game. If you want an archer game, just go play The Lab. It's free and doesn't require the player to constantly have to turn around to play. Along with that, there should be audio ques for when something spawns. So instead of me having to constantly turn around to see if something spawns, or see that a square is about to explode and it's almost too late, I can actually understand what's happening.
I really wanted to love this game but seeing as I cant get passed picking up the bow I cant play it
As soon as I pick the bow up, My tracking drops
Dont get me wrong, I have tried everything to get it to stay on but I have no problem with any other app/game for the vive
I can be playing another app for ages then chnage to Holo point and the headset tracking drops
What the heck??
This game is a workout but very fun.
Funniest and most challenging game I've played for a long time!
Even though I only got 1.something hours in it, it feels like forever!
This game makes you sweaty, so if you don't like going all in on a game... Don't buy this.
But if you're a fanatic in vr games you are going to love this!
I like it BUT it needs a 180 degree game mode. Unfortunately, the only option is to play with enemies a full 360 around you, so expect to get tangled in your cord and get wonky sensors unless you have large play area and 3 sensors. It's fun, but as soon as I have to start spinning all the way around it's just not practical and I'd rather play something else.
If they add a 180 degree play mode, I'll happily play some more. I have a decent amount of room to move around for most games, but having to turn your body all the way around is always going to be a problem without a 3rd sensor, so I'm shelving it and moving on to other games that work fine with 2 sensors.
[h1]WARNING:[/h1] Be ready to loose some wight with this game, also I don't think you will be needing any gym membership XD
I just play for couple minutes and I could tell this game is very intensive and makes your heartbeat go up. I was sweating quite a lot in those minutes of play.
I just wish that DEV's make extra option to play this game in 180 degres as well for people who doesn't have three oculus sensors "Hint Hint" ;-)
Unspielbar auf Oculus Rift! Keine Ahnung wie Leute das Spiel gut finden können.
Ich würde dieses Spiel nicht mal empfehlen, wenn es umsonst wäre! Einfach alles ist schrecklich schlecht:
- Die Menüführung ist fürchtlich, weil kein einziger Punkt erklärt wird und man nicht weiß, was diese Einstellungen machen.
- Ich kann den Bogen nicht wirklcih gut halten, ich glaube das liegt daran, dass das Spiel für Vive Controller ausgelegt ist und nicht richtig für Oculus Controller gemappt wurde, was das Zielen und Schießen ziemlich schwer macht.
- Das Spiel an sich wird auch schnell langweilig. Man schießt auf Ziele und weicht aus, mehr ist es im Grunde nicht, auch wenn es 2 verschiedene Spielmodi gibt.
- Es ist ein schnelles und extrem schweres Spiel, man muss schießen und danach direkt ausweichen, dabei hab ich immer angst über mein Kabel zu stolpern. Also nichts für Leute mit wenig Platz.
- Was mich aber absolut am meisten ankotzt ist, dass man JEDES mal einen Pfeil aus seinem Köcher ziehen muss, bei jedem anderen Shooter der Pfeil und Bogen hat ist das Nachladen besser gelöst worden. Klar ist das realistischer, aber somit packt man sich durchgehen an die Schulter. Man macht quasi durchgehend eine Kreisbewegung. Was einfach nur nervt. Weil das Spiel auch so schnell ist muss man das entsprechend schnell machen. Gefühlt 3 mal pro Sekunde muss ich mir einen Pfeil aus dem Köcher ziehen.
Fazit:
Grafisch ist es ganz okay. Aber da spiele ich lieber mit meinem Pfeil und Bogen, welche ich kostenlos in meinem Oculus Home habe, das macht wesentlich mehr Spaß, als das hier.
Ich habe ein Spiel noch nie so schnell umgetauscht.
You have to shoot so damn fast and the game needs to slow down.
Wish it was free.

[b]REVIEW:[/b]
This high intensity 360 degrees arcade archery game will overload your senses as you sling arrows and dodge with few breaks in the action. A must have game in your VR fitness arsenal, Holopoint will give you a killer workout and you'll feel pretty badass at the same time!
highly recommended, good if you like room scale vr, moving around, archery style
适合运动的射箭游戏，累计玩了几十小时，还是评一下吧。
这个射到后面很有难度和挑战性，目标敌人四面八方都有，第29关的boss就很难射到，只有经常玩熟悉了才容易过关，要不停的躲闪腾挪，几乎全身都在运动，反正玩得一身汗非常爽。
This game is dead, been a year since an update. Thats unfortunate because its pretty cool.
I really couldn't play it very long because the fast paced turning around and doing 180s and 360s to quickly shoot stuff caused me to keep wrapping myself in my vive wire. If you have a wireless headset go for it.
Fantastic. Buy it. Buy it now.
4 minutes is a very long time against waves of assailants. Just kill me and get it over with please. My shoulders hurt!
If feels unfinished. Maybe the bow mechanics could be better, maybe the difficulty could be different. Maybe it could have more than one repetitive song.
On the other hand, to evade crystal shards while you aim with your bow is always cool.
It is also really intense. I cannot play it more than 15 min in a row, so if you like physical high-intensity VR games, it's worth a try.
Buy if for 10€ or less
刚打完BS想说太累了放松放松来玩玩暑期特惠入的这个，结果现在手都抬不起来了XDDDD
还有边转圈边射一开始感觉还挺好的，后来眉头一皱发现自己变成ATAT了。。。
I really like shooting things in this, but the dodging is pretty intense in this game. It's fine when being shot from a distance, but not when they're up close. Like, if a box is right next to you and you shoot it, there is an immediate reply shot in your face. I made it to level 5 and realized I was not having any fun playing it. Maybe there is some trick that I'm missing, but there's no help menu to explain it. I don't even know how many lives I have at any given time.
The best and most fun workout I have ever had. The archery feels accurate and fools you into flexing when drawing and notching arrows. It gets fast paced rather quickly and when you get in the groove, you feel like an ultimate badass. It is basically a training sim but man is it done well. Bow mechanics that rivals the mechanics in the Lab, which is saying a lot given very few get it right. You shoot down holograms and dodge the projectiles. It is one of the few games where you actually look cool in the real world while you play it as you contort your body to dodge and shoot. You will get an intense core workout with this game, especially if you put your all into playing.
I have quite a few hours on this game on another account since I have some VR games on different family accounts. I only logged some time on this account to make a review. This game is kind of hard to review. I come back to this game because it is a good workout and one of the few games that works out my legs with all the ducking and dodging. So thumbs up for good workout. However, it is very repetitve and gets BORING pretty quickly. There is no difficulty setting. There is a checkpoint system every 5 levels. I have never seen another environment other than the Dojo and I have made it to Wave 14. So when if you have trouble with Wave 9 you have to keep starting at level 5. And if you have trouble at Wave 14 you have to start back at Wave 10, etc. This could be a great game, if the developers add a difficulty setting or two, add different environments and maybe change up the levels. RIght now its just barely ok. So buy it because you want a good workout game that provides a small amount of fun. But if looking for a great game I cannot recommend.
.
Very fun!
Make sure to change the bow mode to make both hands control the bow. It is in the options
feels finicky
Great arrow shooter - I love playing In Death and my skills transfered fairly well to this game - Holopoint is a workout! It's really fun and you'll be sweating and needing a break after 30 minutes. :)
I don't often write reviews. I have a 4 month old so my time is limited. I only say this so that you know how good this game is that I chose to write a review instead of playing games during some of my free time.
I learned about this game here http://vrhealth.institute/ This game is an amazing workout. It's great for working the legs and your core(some arms too, but not nearly as intense). Right now I used 2 games for exercise. And that's this game and BoxVR. Along with being a great workout, it's also fun from a gamer point of view.
You fight waves of enemies and every five waves you get a checkpoint that you can go back to it anytime. This adds to the stress and excitement of the fight several times I worked hard to get to weigh 15 I thought it was over and out came this crazy floating psycho ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my ♥♥♥♥ and up made me start all the way back over needless to say the second time I encountered her was one of the most intense fights I've had in VR as I wanted to win and I didn't want to have to go all the way back to wave 10.
Now I'm not just some crazy fanboy there are cons. One of them being the way the bow seems to handle compared to other VR archery games, it can feel a little weird. Especially because you can't alter where your hand is on the bow or how it holds the arrow like you can in QuiVR. It would also be nice if the bowstring pulled all the way back to where you're pulling it instead of just stopping at its max pull back. That being said that's pretty minor complaints and if I had to give this game a rating I'd give it a 91 out of 100 ninja robots shinobis.
TLDR get this game if you're a filthy Hanzo Main in Overwatch, it'll be more fun for you and you'll get in shape. Sure there's no scattershot but they're about to take that out Overwatch anyway.
Good workout but overall, it jumps to ridiculously hard after 5 levels. I have been working on it for the last 2 days and I can't get to round 10 because you get hit twice and it starts you over. The levels don't even seem much different from 5-9, just more boxes popping up but since the aim is slightly off and the arrows don't always knock consistantly, it's just a pain. Starts off fun then quickly gets too difficult with save points only every 5 levels. I can only run it a few times before it's just too boring to try again. Recommending but BARELY.
The game is great. Don't let the simple looking graphics fool you. Or the range of annoying bugs like the tiny draw distance for the bow or that you can just let your hand move close to your body to get your next arrow. Those details don't ruin the game. In fact it's an exciting game to play. You get a serious workout spinning around, lining up a target, and ducking and dodging from the return shot for less than perfect placement. My first week playing this game my left side and abs were as sore as could be because of repeatedly leaning and maneuvering around. It was fantastic!
So why am I not recommending this? Probably more so an issue with Steam VR, but the game seems to crash on load half the time I want to play. I use Oculus Rift, which isn't officially supported. So you might say that's my own issue. But it seems silly that I can get the game to work fine sometimes and other times it simply gets to the loading screen then crashes to Steam VR Home. This might not be an issue for Vive, but Oculus users might consider passing on this one or waiting on a sale to risk it. I'm not requesting a refund only because I can get it to work sometimes and when it does work I have a blast!
You do need a roomscale setup to play this game. You will be ducking, dodging, side stepping all while aiming a bow with enemies coming at you from 360. You also will need to be in good shape. I played two sessions of 10 minutes each because I just had to tap out, the game is very physically demanding for someone like me who is not in good shape. I was sweating on my HMD and just had to quit. Not only that, but I was tripping over my wired headset. If you have a wireless headset, then this game is perfect. If you don't, you'll have to setup your wires or just be very cognizant of this problem.
I had a lot of fun. This is like a shooting gallery / obstacle course. There is no story or beating the game. It's about challenging yourself (and if you're good at the game, challenging others). Shooting fast, accurately, and moving quickly. This game is really a workout. If you want fun in your cardio workout, this is it. I have no idea how some players scored so high that are on the leaderboards, but my hat is off to them.
There's basically two modes. One is a wave mode that saves every 5 waves I believe. Meaning, you can start from wave 1. And if you make it to wave 5 you can start from there instead of wave 1. I was only able to get to wave 6 on normal difficulty (level 4 difficulty - difficulty ranges from 1 to 8). There is also a timed mode where you can choose the enemies and go for the highest score. When I chose the Orange men who throw shuriken at you, I basically got hit over and over again even though I was firing as fast as I could. They were excellent in invading. So many times I just just inches away from where they were moving. The other two enemies were blue boxes that eventually turn orange and explode a projectile towards you if you don't shoot them fast. Even when you shoot and hit them, they explode and shoot a projectile towards you, so you have to know to evade after you hit the target. There's also these blue men that walk towards you. There's probably more enemy types, but I didn't get very far in the waves.
I don't think I have ever played a game that is more fun and challenging that is also this much of a workout. I know I could have tuned down the difficulty level, but I guess I just have too much pride. Anyways, my only real criticisms are that it felt like at times it was harder than it had to be to get out an arrow and put it on your bow to rapid fire. I eventually got used to it though. My other legitimate criticism is the music. There needs to be an option where I can play my own. Other than that, I strongly recommend this game. One of the best VR games out there.
Rate 8/10
You work up a sweat pretty darn quik in this game, that's for sure. Didn't like the feel of the bow and arrow though, almost like the distance to ground hand't been measured correctly.
个人很喜欢，推荐。稍微有一点缺陷就是并没有介绍（一个射箭游戏还要什么介绍啊喂），我一直没搞懂为啥每次第一关就没有了，直到我看了别人的评测发现回来的小球还要躲开的，才成功地进入了下一关。在这之前都是玩的计时模式，不得不说，那个桔色的小人真的是走位风骚啊。
游戏需要的场地最好大一点，虽然只站着也可以玩。不过要小心不能一着急就走开了。（于是我又调整了房间布局）
哦对，自己的一点小tips，个人感觉把弓横过来更容易瞄准。左手持弓伸直，右手大概在鼻子前的位置，跟眼睛差不多水平面去瞄准。（要拉满弓）
Could have been great...

The bow in game feels extremely small and my draw is way past what I see in VR. Nocking the arrow is also really hard due to the distance between the bowstring and the bow. I'm surprised that an options for different users aren't included... or did I miss it?

A simple game that does what it says on the tin. Targets appear around you in a dojo, and you shoot them with your bow. The targets shoot back at you when hit (or if you wait too long), and then you most dodge (or shoot!) the incoming shots.
It's a good cardio workout once you get moderately accurate with the box. If you squat to dodge it gives a good leg workout as well.
Despite being a simple game, it has a high replay factor. It's fun to feel like Hawkeye as you get into a groove and are spinning dodging and shooting in quick succession.
The aim in this game is lame.
You want to lose weight?? This game will do the job trust me. You will be sweating and huffing and puffing when you really get into this game. As others said, watch your cable, you do spin around a lot trying to get the targets. I have a feeling this game will see it's true potential once the wireless adapter comes out.
VRダイエット御用達として紹介されてたのでやってみたが。想像の3倍ムズかった。
ルームスケール2m^2で避けてね、という風潮を感じる。
特にバレットタイムもないので、避けながら撃ち返....す前に結構近づかれてしまう。
