The gameplay is described as basic and somewhat unimpressive, especially the archery mechanics, which are seen as less refined compared to other VR titles. While enjoyable, it lacks the depth or complexity to warrant extended play.
- “I did enjoy the game, but there is no reason for a subsequent gameplay.”
- “You can view my review and gameplay here: https://youtu.”
- “The graphics do look good if it were an open world RPG or something, but the gameplay here is pretty basic.”
- “The archery gameplay is pretty basic.”
- “The archery isn't bad per se, but there are other VR games with much better archery gameplay, including Death or Sacralith.”

The game's optimization has improved significantly with recent updates, enhancing overall performance. However, it remains demanding on high-end GPUs like the RTX 3090, especially when using high-resolution settings with LCD HMDs, resulting in blurry visuals unless DLSS is enabled. Further optimization is needed, particularly for newer hardware and VR headsets.
- “With the recent update, the performance has gotten so much better!”
- “The game supports DLSS and looks nice (non-blurry) on Index with resolution set to 400-500%, but performance drops significantly on an overclocked RTX 3090.”
- “The game is one of the most beautiful VR titles I've seen, but optimization is still needed as it's in early access; currently, it's better suited for devices like the Rift CV1 or original Vive Pro until higher-end GPUs arrive.”
- “Using LCD HMDs like Index, this game is very blurry - it supports DLSS and starts to look nice (non-blurry) at Index resolution 400-500%, but then performance tanks even with my overclocked RTX 3090.”
- “The trailer shows the content quite nicely - it's one of the most beautiful VR games I've seen, but until RTX 5090 is here, or the developers optimize the game (this is early access), you'd better stick with the Rift CV1 or original Vive Pro.”
- “I got this game a while ago and at that time the performance was pretty bad.”
