“So before I start, I'm going to say that I acknowledge the game was just released. Though, the store page does not mention any "Early Access" like I'd hope to believe, I'll keep that in mind. Therefore, let me get down…”
“The absolute best sword play I've experienced in a game to date... If you have a Vive and like swords then get this....”
“Just wow.... WOW. I never imagined that 355 MB will get me all sweaty and on knees in front of my computer..”

“The closest I have got to smashing a controller. Luckily my knuckles took most of the damage. My play space is on the minimal limit, so I find myself concentrating on ensuring i'm not about to plunge my controller…”
“Wow, this game is grueling in the best possible way, especially when you have four Ring Wraith looking mofos surrounding you. There is a lot of movement – furious movement – inherent to this game. Imagine bobbing,…”

“I usually won't post a review without a lot more time in game. However, I hate seeing a game's reputation dragged down by negative reviews from players who played less than half an hour. Honestly, the game does have…”
“After playing the game daily for a while I'm editing this review a bit. While I am still giving it a thumbs up, it is mainly because the price is fairly low and there 90% of VR games aren't very interactive. I would say…”
“You wanna chance to live out your last samurai fantasy. Come try this new vr game that just came out today. This Dev is going to make a million bucks. I garuntee 75% of vive owners are buying this game. Its a must have.…”

“Best VR sword fighting game. The colision-detecting is quite good, making it really satisfying to block, swing and stab. The enemy reacts to your blows too. Much better combat than in Vanishing Realms for example.”
“I've made the mistake of not reviewing this game; a mistake because I think this is one of the best games on the vive and somehow it seems to be gathering a lot of negative reviews. When I got my vive, I really wanted…”

“Whoa! What a workout! Spent the last half hour lying on the floor, holding my arm, moaning with pain. Only thinking about when I can play again, and that I'll definitely do some warmup first. This is true VR sports. And…”
“Overall it is a pretty good game. Its difficulty increases each level, and you will find yourself sweating alot. If you want a standard hack and slash, then this game is not for you. You can flail your blades all you…”

“One phrase to sum it up... JANKY WII GAME! Not sure I have ever refunded a steam game and i'm refunding this... Very disappointed at how incomplete this feels and how I feel totally misled by the trailers. There are…”
“the game has pretty good graphics,and it seems the developer has invested decent amount of time to make the game as good as possible. The game suffers(more then any other vr game i played) from the fact we do not yet…”
“Game is fantastic, but the play area is FAR bigger than what you likely have in real life. I have a 3mx3m or MORE space and it still so easy to hit the wall and break a controller. You're left standing in the middle of…”

“Yah i tried to like this but it's really the same thing after the very first battle. Theres no change in how you are attacked. Alot of the hits you'll get will magically be blocked evn if you clearly hit the guy. This…”
“This is a game that looks like it's aiming to be something of a simulator. I could be wrong about that. The limitations for me of this game are that instead of the npcs getting more sophisticated at sword fightiing as…”
“A VR sword fighting game that intially was promising, but has been seemingly abandonded by the developer despite its buggy state and the developer started to work on his next game instead (Jet Island). Content wise I…”

“As someone who regularly trains with swords in real life, there is a near infinite amount of things I could say about this game. I'll try to get it down into a simple pros / cons list with a bit more detail. PROS: *The cutting and blocking feels absolutely amazing. You can…”

I have played this straight for 2 hours with my brother in taking turns and we already reached lvl 9 plus 5 expert medals. The gameplay is getting extremly challenging but also satisfying as you…”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“As it is right now, it's just WAY to easy to just go in stabbing under the shield to score kills. Currently a deal breaker....that being said, the developer seems VERY open to suggestions and making improvements! I really get the feeling that the necessary improvements will be…”
