Samurai Sword VR

About

Samurai Sword VR drops you into a turbulent version of Edo-era Japan where you wield a katana and shuriken to slice through crowds of enemies. The gameplay focuses on rapid movement and combat with fluid dodges and precise strikes. You’ll swing your blade in VR to deflect attacks and unleash combos while navigating outdoor arenas and indoor halls. The single-player campaign tasks you with clearing each stage of obstacles and foes through a mix of speed and strategy. The game’s standout is its motion-based combat which feels responsive in VR despite 2017 tech limitations. Players appreciate the tight controls for swinging and throwing weapons though some note the repetitive level design. With 150 stages to clear and a focus on high scores it offers replay value for fans of skill-based challenges. Available on PC since January 2017 it remains a niche pick for those looking to test their reflexes in a samurai setting.
