    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of opinions, with some players finding it shallow and criticizing inconsistent physics in the catapult mechanics. However, many appreciate the intuitive gameplay, strategic depth, and the unique VR experience that allows players to scale down to gamepiece size, making the overall experience enjoyable and recommendable.

    • “However, I found enough fun in the core gameplay to recommend it.”
    • “Not only is the strategy gameplay excellent, but you can even scale yourself down to gamepiece size, which is amazing, and this is exactly how VR makes strategy games incredible.”
    • “- Intuitive gameplay mechanics, lots of strategy, plenty of variety in unit tactics.”
    • “And the gameplay seemed awfully shallow.”
    • “The 'physics' piece is even more of a joke considering you get exactly one option which is to shoot a catapult that doesn't even use the same launch mechanics each round - the ball goes 2ft then 20ft when pulled back with the same power.”
