The graphics are criticized for being extremely low poly and outdated, lacking textures, and overall looking poor even by early 2000s standards. Despite being an early SteamVR title, the visuals are considered inferior compared to similar VR archery games.
- “Gameplay consists of wearing a VR headset to see low-poly graphics that would look bad in 2003 (several years after texture mapping was invented) and shooting a bow at blue blobs trying to get in your castle.”
- “The low-poly graphics are woeful, and don't even have textures.”
- “I understand it was made at essentially the genesis of SteamVR, but The Lab also was, and it has an archery game just like this with better visuals.”
