Steam reviews

What players say

Players who stick with it praise its weapons and combat feel; many find the enemies' bullet-sponge health, janky multiplayer and stutter frustrating.

Most reviewers who recommend the game praise its weapon variety, transforming weapons, magic options and the satisfying feel of parrying and combat, and many say it is one of the best VR sword fighting games, with a strong mod system built in. Many criticise the enemies with huge health pools, which take countless hits and make fights feel like sponges, and some say the physics feel flimsy and unresponsive, especially with spears and in boss fights. Multiplayer is a frequent complaint: non-host players are often disadvantaged, connections are unreliable and servers have been poor. Performance stutter, some unfair early-game difficulty and a repetitive dungeon structure come up too. Reviewers from the last year who lean positive usually say the game is worth it despite these issues, while negative reviews mostly centre on combat feel and multiplayer.

Praised

  • Weapons and combat feel

    Players enjoy the wide range of weapons, transforming and magic weapons, and the satisfying feel of combat and parrying.

    Many players
  • Mods built in

    Players praise the easy, built-in mod menu and the large number of community mods, which add variety and gore.

    Many players
  • Strong challenge and bosses

    Players find the combat demanding but fair, and the boss fights memorable and fun to retry after losses.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Bullet-sponge enemies

    Players say enemies with huge health pools take countless hits, which makes fights tedious and breaks the feel of combat.

    Many players
  • Poor multiplayer and servers

    Players report that non-host players are at a disadvantage, connections lag, and servers have been unreliable or hard to join.

    Many players
  • Stutter and performance

    Players report frequent stutter, slow optimisation and crashes that force restarts, even on capable hardware.

    Some players
  • Flimsy physics and parrying

    Players say weapons feel like wet noodles, slashes do little damage and parrying gives little reward, especially against bosses.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who want a demanding VR sword fighter with lots of weapons and mods, especially those who can play with friends.
Who should skip it
Should skip it if you dislike spongy enemies, unreliable multiplayer or flimsy-feeling combat, or if you mainly want to play solo without mods.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are split and often mention the difficulty and combat feel, while players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it for its weapons, mods and bosses.
