Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration, particularly with the bow mechanics, which some players find inconsistent and not reflective of real archery. While the game features fun graphics and a sense of progression through practice and upgrades, there are calls for the developers to refine the core mechanics to enhance the overall experience. The artistic style is appreciated, but it may have overshadowed the need for more authentic gameplay mechanics.
“Fun graphics, fun gameplay; you can clearly feel yourself getting better and better the more you practice, and the upgrades for the bow are a nice touch.”
“All in all, for a bargain of a price, this game encompasses beautiful virtual reality game mechanics with intuitive gameplay, making for a great experience.”
“Authentic mechanics when operating the bow and arrow.”
“Additionally, I still feel a large inconsistency in the bow mechanics and shot patterns that do not resemble real archery nor exist in other VR archery games out there.”
“The bow mechanics are not satisfying.”
“My suggestion to the dev team - you have a decent looking engine and art style, but I would highly suggest taking a few steps back and taking a much closer look at your game mechanics and physics.”

The monetization of the title is viewed negatively, with users expressing that the $15 price tag feels excessive for an EA game, raising concerns about potential lack of content and quality, suggesting it may be a cash grab for a project that appears unfinished.
“$15 is a hefty price for any EA title. I sincerely hope I am proven wrong and that there are some serious engine improvements to come, but sadly, my instincts are telling me that this is a dead-on-arrival title and possibly a quick cash grab for an abandoned work in progress.”
