It's the one game I was considering buying on Steam, I'm glad I waited:

Even RoadToVR liked the game and rated the game 87%

 SUMMARY
'Sacralith: The Archer's Tale' marries expert-level visual polish with a clever and engaging bow shooting extravaganza to make what is clearly approaching AAA territory. The narrative, and characters within it, are also high on visual polish, and thanks to motion capture, are decidedly 'human enough' to be convincing. The level of difficulty is extremely high, making for multiple hours of bow shooting throughout the game's singular campaign. 
Gameplay: 9 | Immersion: 8.5 | Comfort: 8.5

Awesome game, works great using super sampling 2.0.  - At first I was annoyed that you have to teleport, but I quickly realized it's the only way to play this game - free locomotion would be impossible with the current design. 

Now I have to rest my arm and shoulder, this game is really intensive. It's not at all similar to "In Death", because in Sacralith you'll truly experience what John F. Kennedy once said:

"Ich bin ein Legolas!"

Just wrote a review (Oculus Store) - so far there're just 4 reviews, all 5/5 - but why? Isn't this game one of the best VR games in a long time? Have every one already bought it on Steam? Have people just stopped buying games? Well. my review:

The best Legolas simulator ever!
This game is simply awesome - feels totally like being Legolas in Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, even if you can't run 😉 The game works great using super sampling 2.0 on my oc'ed GTX 1080 + i7 7700K + 16GB 3200MHz. The game has no free locomotion, but teleport movement. At first I worried about this (normally I greatly dislike teleport movement), but this game would never work with full locomotion, because you need to instantly move to other locations. In some way this game reminds me of great old arcade machines mixed with some Assassin's Creed - and maybe mixed with some wave shooter elements. And it works just perfectly, the action is incredibly intense. The game is hard - you'll be shooting thousands of arrows at least as fast as Legolas, or you'll never survive. My shoulder was slightly sore this morning after playing last night, but it's worth it - and I'll do it again in a few minutes 🙂 Sound effects and speech are awesome too - textures could be better, but are quite nice, and you'll never notice texture quality when you're playing due to the fantastic action. Congrats to the devs for making a truly remarkable VR game! - And it's not at all like "In Death"; Sacralith is full speed ahead and extremely intense with hundreds of opponents in one level, while In Death mostly is much slower paced.

I'm on holiday the next week - I've already enjoyed some nice sightseeing, and I just developed these first photos - enjoy  😄

Finally, some music - it's Saturday   ❤️

BTW, I've found out that the more alcohol I drink, the less my shoulder hurts after shooting thousands of arrows  o:) - but unfortunately I've also found that my aiming skill profoundly decreases  the more I drink  :# - it's really hard to find the perfect balance! 😉 (ok - that was a joke - cheers!)

I have this on steam but don't play it due to steamvr is so buggy atm.

Is the Dev giving out Home keys for those with it on Steam already by any chance ?

I have not seen any do this, even for cross oculus games like Endspace.  If the Steam version is a bit slow to run, just buy the Oculus Store version.  That's what I do.  It's not that expensive imho.

I'd maybe ask on their webpage.  I first bought In Death on steam, then was able to transfer it to Oculus.  Worth a shot, if it doesn't say anything on their site maybe contact them and ask.

Sometimes devs are nice and will give you a key - it can't hurt to ask - contact the devs here like Taintfist suggested:

Also - due to Facebook restrictions, Oculus can't show ultra-violence, did anyone catch the fun difference between Oculus Store and Steam? - Here's some help  😄

Steam:

BTW, the recent update is included in the Oculus version - info (to avoid sore shoulders):

Update JULY 24 - 2018

28 JULY - LEOPOLD GNOSOV
Changes:
  • Hip quiver is now convenient to use
  • Minor bug fixes
So hip quiver is possible - does feel like constantly getting the wallet to pay for stuff :# 😄

Problems with the game can be posted here (monitored by the devs):

Note that the game's on sale today - 15 % off (they always do that right after I paid the full price sigh 😉

No spoilers, but the bridge is one of my favorite VR moments, and that says a lot  B)

@RuneSR2 - Why is this under experiences and not games on Oculus Store? So it's not a game as such just an experience, I'm  bit confused? Also, on Road to VR it says it was out in May 2018, so has it had an update since then, is that why you say you are glad you waited?

The dev said back in May, "New game mode is coming next month (single player multiplayer prototype:)" However, according to Steam there's only been a small fix in July, which was nothing to do with what he was saying would be added back in May? So are the things the dev said back in May still not in the game yet?
