“One of the best sword fighting VR games I have ever played. You should play this game if you want an immersive VR experience with your friends or alone. It is promising and has potential, but there are things to…”
“It's a mixed bag this one, I can't rate neutral for this so I'll say this: I enjoy the game but I can't recommend it at the price given (if I had to compare it to other games.) There's so much build up for it only to be…”
“Its fun, its co op. it has progression and events. I'm a fan.”

“Have the Quest version, just wanted better graphics so here I am. Hidden gem of a VR title, looking forward to more updates and events”
“They added an offline mode, so even if the game goes down again you can still play it. The game itself is fun, but now that there's an offline I can finally recommend it with no hesitation.”
“Love the game, It reminds me of the show Sword Art online more so when you have to floor clear to beat the game. I mainly play adventure mode so I don't have input on the other modes they offer, Overall I would advise…”

“I find myself enjoying my time with this game more than I expected. The movement and blocking mechanics are a little clunky, but it's a pretty good time if you're looking to get that "Souls-like" feeling. The game…”
“As a person who actually liked this game very much, I was a bit disheartened that you guys were shutting down this service and I really was upset about it since it seemed like it was gonna be gone, but not only am I…”

“At first I did not understand that swords break. However, once I realized that once you equip a broken weapon, it will be repaired, I began to understand how the game played out. I find the sword system to be unique and…”

“This is a pretty good swordfighting game. The swordplay is decent - blocking and learning to dodge is a necessity. The enemies give enough of a sign of what they're going to do to make it possible to block or dodge any…”
“This is a great sword and shield level fighter game. Large player base, game modes, skill ceiling. You don't just wave your hands around, you actually have to be thoughtful in your strikes. Fun game. Worth picking up.…”
“a fun take on melee combat in vr like until you fall. really tough memorization roguelike with alot of replayability. it isnt blade and sorcery combat with weight to weapons but guarding and parrying is really important…”

“this game absolutely does not support valve index controllers, the grabbing mechanics are clunky, the movement is meh, the fighting is awful (half the time my hands will swap position so I'm forced to adapt to fighting…”
“I agree with R3volve .There's definitely an amazing game in there. But where? I played the beta and bought the game expecting to see more. 100 single player missions? What about cross-platform multiplayer? That's what…”
“Swords of Gargantua is finnicky, weird, and altogether not super fun. The blocking system is awkward and rarely well-telegrpahed, the head tracking is inaccurate and strange, the inventory system is very strugglesome…”

“Ok, lets get some things straight, right of the bat. VR swordfighter games are in no way like real life. there has to be a balance between fun and realism... things like weapon weight, damage, enemy AI, ect. have to be balanced that way. This game is an arena type game with 100…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“I think the game has a lot of potential. A few times I felt like I was playing Dark Souls in VR. The swordplay feels nice, but could be a bit more refined. Adding different environments might change things up a bit. Only thing i found to be disappointing was that voice chat…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“This game has a lot of potential. There is a solid foundation for a fun game here. But that's about it. The game itself is really just defend a pillar from waves of enemies. The tutorial made it seem like you were about to embark on an important journey. So I did a few rounds,…”
