Evaluation

Cactus Cowboy 3 - Fully Loaded launched as a free-to-play VR shooter on June 21, 2021. The developer described it as "a full fledged story game" — a self-contained, semi-linear story with no waves, no seasonal content, and no post-launch content cycle planned. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped several quality-of-life and accessibility patches (snap turn, speedrunner stats, anti-frustration improvements, bHaptics support, ProTube support), with the last update arriving on September 30, 2021. No new content has been announced or released since that date, and there are no unreleased DLC entries. The store description makes no mention of future updates or planned expansions. The game appears to have launched as a complete, finished product and received only maintenance and polish updates before going quiet. The last developer communication was on September 30, 2021.

About this game

Cactus Cowboy is back in a new VR First Person Shooter adventure. Free Cactus World from the alien robot invasion with the help for your huge arsenal of deadly weapons. Shoot your way from your Cacti Desert all the way to the moon and fight back the Invasion alongside with the mighty cactus army! Free Cactus City and help the cacti of the windmill woods out of the misery.

More than 20 different weapons and a prickly pair of cactus fists is your arsenal that can be found and is given to you by your friendly cactus amigos. Unlock the gun range by finishing the game and play your favorite part of the game again with the weapons of your choice.

A full fledged story game (at least 3.5h in dev speedrun) that will require all your shooting and moving skills combined. No random mission clicking, no waves - just a good old semi linear story.
