You can tell the developer has gotten better and listen to criticism and made this awesome game, If your the developer seeing this continue to make games (you don’t need to make another Cactus Cowboy you can branch out if you want)

HE ALWAYS COOKS WITH CACTUS COWBOY

SOOOO MUCH BETTER THEN PLANTS AT WAR, story is good, I wish the ending was a bit better tho, it just kinda ends, but other then that, one of the best vr games in a while

Started off with the free ones...

& without hesitation i have purchased the paid game... man am i looking forward to it, they are quirky, simplicity attractive & most of all the gun play is perfect for keeping a well needed eye on whats around the corner. Different enemy's keep you on your toes, I absolutely love this game & everything about it (as a no nonsense pick up & play) I have finished the free one yet, cant wait to get stuck in... Before Ive even played it i know it was the best £8,99 I have spent in ages... the price of X2 coffees... for a whole load of fun... Nice one I am 48, a seasoned gamer that can honestly say this is breath of fresh air

A must buy

My expectations weren't high for this game. I thought that there was no way it could be better than plants at war. Now that I have played ot, though, I know I was wrong. I haven't finished it yet, but unless the quality suddenly drops, this game gets a definite 5 stars. One of if not the best VR game.

Love it!

It's corny as all hell but that is part of the appeal. Just a fun goofy shooter with a story campaign. It doesn't take itself serious and that makes it great. I love all the cactus cowboy games but this is by far my favorite. You can see the progression the developers have learned from one game to the next. Can't wait for future titles!
