Fights decided by your own arms
You are the character here. Your full avatar copies your movements, so a stab lands because you aimed it and a block holds because you put something solid in the way.
The arsenal sticks to medieval weapons and equipment modeled close to real prototypes, and you use them with cutting, stabbing, blunt hits, grabs, kicks and footwork. Wounds show: superficial cuts and dismemberment are part of the injury system. Different undead enemies need different approaches, which keeps waves and bosses from blurring together. It is a workout, and a fair challenge that rewards practice more than button memory.
A grim campaign plus room to brawl
The setting is dark fantasy horror, all undead and late-medieval gloom with high-quality graphics and sound to sell each arena.
It needs room-scale VR: a vertical stance and about 1.5 x 1.5 meters to move in. The tone stays brutal and dark throughout, with a streak of the funny in the tags. Come for the island of steel and bone, not for a long branching plot.
What should you know before playing?
Do you need VR space to play it?
Yes. It is a full room-scale VR game that expects you to stand and move in real space, with support for VR controllers. Plan on a clear area of about 1.5 x 1.5 meters, plus room to swing without redecorating.
How does the combat actually work?
Physically. Stabbing, cutting, blunt blows, grabs, kicks and movement tactics all count, using medieval weapons with characteristics close to real prototypes. There is no shortcut stat to carry you; the outcome rests on your skill and endurance.
What are you fighting, and where?
Expect dynamic battles rather than puzzles or diplomacy, with waves, bosses and a campaign tying the slaughter together.
