[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This is probably the steal of the 2018 Steam Summer sale (VR). For $2.49 you're getting an awesome game. Just understand what it is you're getting before hitting that Add to Cart button. This is a sword / axe / twin staff with sharp edges combat simulator. Is it realistic? Well, no, you're not actually carrying around a sword and the weight is not anything you'll feel unless you're going mixed reality. Even then, you couldn't feel the weight of force from your enemy. You won't feel the cuts either. So yeah, of course it isn't realistic. Is it fun? Oh hell yeah. And no, you can't just swing crazily away. I mean you can, but you won't get very far if you do. See, you fight endless waves of enemies. They wield all types of swords / axes / twin staffs and yeah a bow too (you can't use a bow). You will hate every single bowman in the field of battle. Yes, they will try to gank you. Yes, it is unfair. But you know what else is unfair? Life. So yeah, you have to be smart. You have to block to avoid damage and the blocking is easy to do.

update: game is dead. don't buy this. This is really barebones. i can't recommend this until some more work is put into this. However, i'm not going to return this because I want to support the development of this game, and it appears that they are making some effort to improving this title, so until then i'd suggest something else.

A very fun, albeit small game. It was ahead of its time in terms of sword-play in VR, imho. But still fun to play with friends when letting them try VR, and a good stress reliever.

I got this on sale for a dollar and it's honestly something I get more play time out of them most things I pay way more for. it's for sure an early release but it is fun to play for a few min here or there.

I really enjoyed this. Good choice of 1 and 2 handed weapons with a realistic feel to them, adjustable difficulty and pretty immersive with the new maps.
