Reviews
- Crystal Reign offers a unique VR tower defense experience with engaging first-person interactions and a beautiful environment.
- The game features a variety of tower types and allows players to actively participate in combat, making it more dynamic than traditional tower defense games.
- The developers are responsive and committed to improving the game, with plans for updates that include new features like upgrading and selling towers.
- The game is limited to VR and specifically to the HTC Vive, which restricts its audience and accessibility.
- Graphics and overall presentation are mediocre, and the game feels like a simplified version of traditional tower defense games.
- The gameplay can become repetitive quickly, and there is a lack of clear information regarding enemy weaknesses and tower effectiveness.

The graphics are generally considered mediocre, with some users noting a reliance on a bargain bin Unity asset style. While the aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, it is deemed acceptable for a tower defense game.
“Should be fine, depends on whether or not you like the aesthetic and the bargain bin Unity asset style.”
“Graphics are mediocre, but it's a tower defense game, so it fits the bill.”

The story mode is engaging and can be completed relatively quickly, with players noting a smooth transition to the more challenging infinite mode, which offers a significantly more intense experience. Overall, the narrative serves as a solid introduction to the game's mechanics before diving into the more demanding gameplay.
“On my first try, I spent 20 minutes on the story mode, beat the boss, and spent another 40 minutes in the infinite mode without realizing I spent that much time in VR.”
“Infinite mode got pretty intense for those of you who thought the story mode was easy.”
