About Katana X
Katana X is a sword simulation action game designed specifically for VR utilizing tracked motion controls. It's a highly accessible game that is easy to get into and strangely addicting once you start. This game takes real physical skill of body control and hand–eye coordination to get high scores. If you like motion gaming, swordplay, and having a serious workout session, this is the game for you.
Katana X was initially inspired by the famous mobile fruit slicing game, but we wanted to make a game that you can actually feel like you are wielding a sword and correctly physically interacting in the virtual world. Slice with the sharp edge of your sword, try for combo opportunities, and avoid hitting bombs to achieve the high score! With practice and the right technique, you might be surprised how high a score you can achieve. Who will be the next Katana Master?
We care about your safety and the safety of others. This is an active, skill based game that simulates real world sword wielding behavior. Due to the nature of fully immersive virtual reality, you may not be aware of your real surroundings. Please make sure your play area is clear from walls, people, animals and any other obstructions that you may collide with once in this VR game. Don't forget to use your wrist strap. If you feel tired or experience any discomfort, discontinue playing. Take breaks often. By playing this game you accept all risk and liability.

Prepare to slice and dice your way through an electrifying virtual reality experience with Katana X! This game is a razor-sharp delight for fans of Fruit Ninja VR. While it may be a light version, it still delivers a killer combination of addictive gameplay and immersive graphics. With lightning-fast reflexes and precision strikes, you'll feel like a true samurai warrior. Get ready to unleash your inner ninja and enjoy hours of satisfying, sword-slashing fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN-gkXbBSnI16 found this helpful
Imagine if Fruit Ninja cost 7 dollars but the physics were a little janky and the game was very picky about blade angle. Although rumor is that you can get a Katana for steam vr if you play this game for 2 hours. I have at least 8 and I dont have that katana. oh yeah, also this game says early access but seems abandoned.4 found this helpful

Edit: You get a katana in Steam VR for playing this game for 2 hours. As of this writing, I myself have successfully sold that katana for the exact price of this game. Katana X - the game that used to be Zenblade, a somewhat blatant Fruit Ninja knockoff - has been abandonware for a very long time. It is now sitting at $2, which puts it at a price range that makes people consider cheap knockoffs of better games. This game has two key modes - Tatami and "Flying Fruit" - and a few sub-modes of each. "Flying Fruit" is the Fruit Ninja knockoff, and Tatami is original to this game - tatami spawn, you cut the tatami in the straw spot. Scoring in this game is very different from Fruit Ninja - good scoring relies more heavily on combos in this game, while good scoring in Fruit Ninja relies on getting more critical hits (cuts through the center of the fruit). Mistakes in survival persist in Katana X, but in Fruit Ninja your misses go away after a certain amount of points. The feeling is very different, and that's enough to make them meaningfully different to someone who is score chasing. This game's stated draw is realism and interesting physics. The tatami and fruit are cut "where the b…
its a lot of fun
