Very cool VR game with some annoying faults. The visuals are cool enough and the melee combat is some of the most satisfying you'll find in VR with its meaty hits and enemy knockbacks on critical strikes. It's a roguelike so progression consists of getting random powerups and fighting through randomly generated stages, but this is where the game mostly falls short. Aside from the grunts which are so easy to beat I barely consider them enemies, the game only has 3 (technically 6) enemy types: Knights, mages, heavy knights, and their upgraded flaming counterparts. The flame versions are pretty much just faster, stronger versions of the normal enemies with a couple new moves. It's better than nothing but it doesn't help the same-y feeling of subsequent runs. There aren't that many different stages either, once you do a few runs you'll almost certainly repeat a lot of them. As for gameplay faults, mages are extremely annoying since the block detection for their projectiles seems to randomly not work and they like to jump behind you which demands using the game's lackluster system for turning and switching targets. In general, fighting multiple opponents in later stages is a recipe for disaster due to their fast and lengthy combo strings and it really feels like the game isn't properly built for it. Variety is supposed to come from the varied weapon types but leveling up a weapon to level 9 or so and switching to a vastly underpowered unupgraded weapon for variety's sake is just not very tempting.

Incredibly uninspired roguelite that both has no personality with the same few generic mobs and bland locations repeated ad nauseum absent of any reason to care about what's happening, and that leans into the worst traits of roguelites (many of the upgrades you find on runs amount to just soullessly making numbers go up; an over-emphasis on grinding for meta-progress).

I like the physicality of VR enough that maybe I'd be able to forgive some of these problems if the actual moment-to-moment gameplay was more enjoyable, however; turning round and moving towards enemies feels very awkward, any time you're fighting more than one enemy at once is hell as the game simply isn't built for it, due to this previous problem any time there's more than one enemy near you there's a constant anxiety that the game will make the second enemy engage you in the middle of combat, too often the combat feels like random flailing when you're not being asked to actively parry, occasionally attacks just won't register, once dodging is introduced to the mix it's far too easy for the dodge and parry indicators to be lost amongst the visual's intense love of bloom.

I didn't play much and it's possible some of these problems improve after a while, or that some of the later content is more engaging, but wow this experience sucked.
