Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game is an arena game for the HTC Vive that is not based on a big story or need to be entirely finished to be fun.

It is really fun in its current state already and absolutely playable. Early Access is used to get a first version in the hands of players to receive feedback, and prioritize next features development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for at least a month, until it has proper assets (sound, graphics), as well as more content.

It might stay in Early Access a bit longer than a month if new big features are added.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Here is a list of things that I wish to add to the game during Early Access:
  • New enemies variations
  • New game modes (Time Attack, Survival)
  • More waves, including boss waves
  • Online Leaderboards (through Steam)
  • Fix any bug that might be reported
  • Shield Customisation (possibility to choose other shield designs, or maybe even other types of weapons altogether)
  • Add any interesting features that might be suggested

Note that these are things I would like to do, but I can't promise any of them”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Here is the current state of the game:

  • The base gameplay is entirely implemented and working
  • The game flow is complete (you can launch the menu, and play a game until you win/lose, with multiple waves
  • The game contains all sounds and music
  • The game has no major known bug

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game is currently priced lower to account for early access and missing features, as well as reward first players for helping.

As the game will evolve towards full release, the price will gradually go up. It is not planned for the price to go down in the near future.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will be reading all posts from the community regularly (daily if possible) and hope to answer to all that need answering.

If community members suggest an addition to the game that I feel would be good in it and is doable, I will do my best to add it

Here is my public taskboard in which you can see what I am working on, comment and vote.

I will post frequent updates about the game.”

About This Game

Ever wanted to throw a shield at your enemies with all your might? Now you can.

Octoshield VR is an action packed arena game for the HTC Vive in which your only weapon is a deadly shield. Throw it at your enemies to annihilate them, but don't forget to protect yourself with it, or you will get hit by lasers!


This game is currently in early access, please note that the current state doesn't reflect the final game. New features will be added, and the art and sound will improve. The game's price will increase as the game approaches completion, so it is currently cheaper during Early Access. But please understand that the game is at an early stage. It is playable and fun, and has a lot of features already, but not entirely finished. If you want an entirely finished experience with full content, wait for release before buying and add the game to your wishlist instead. You can also look at the reviews and at the Steam community hub to see how the game is and what updates I made. Most people really like the game currently but please understand that it's still early access.
