Sword Master VR

You can ignore the usual "Awesome! So cool. I'm exhausted!" reviews from the Kool-Aid gulping wide eyed, fan boy types. They would have fun dancing around their bedrooms waving a toilet brush with a bucket on their heads shouting "Take that foul demon!" I gave this game the benefit of the doubt, watching the dev videos for a few months and reserving my opinion until trying it. Unfortunatley it plays just like it looks and it looks a little disjointed. I get the feeling these are store bought art assets. This results in a jarring mix in the quality of models, textures and animations so it feels more like a tech demo rather than a finished product. Regarding gameplay the enemy characters hover just outside the bounds of the chaperone which means of you are going to be swinging your controller full speed (as it requires you to do) at them. The potential for controller smashing and loved one assaulting is terrifyingly high. Games like "Thrill of the fight" handle this style of close qua...

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 made and that the game will continue to be expanded upon. For that reason, I will not be "returning" the game, as I want to support the developer, because I can see where this could eventually be a GREAT game. I look forward to updating my review to a "recommend" in the near future, hopefully!

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 to the principles of the game. Basically, you start out with a single sword, and you progress through levels in which you parttake in combat against AI enemies with armor, shields, and swords. It obviously gets harder as you get through, setting up for a breath of relief as you finish that last level. However fun it appears at first, the further you get in, the more you notice just how terribly horrible the hit detection is--how utterly frustrating it is to try and hit an enemy. Your sword will constantly skip out on hitting a specific part of their body and just hit the armor. Your sword will also give multiple hits at once if you repeatedly stab back and forth with your weapon--even if it's still inside the enemy. Maybe it's just my personal experience from it, bu...

Sword Master VR is just another name for sweating all over the place Simulator. 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 progress. Dont loose hope when fighting 4 opponents at the same time. You´ll get used to it. Balancewise i´d say the Rapier is way too strong compared to the slashing weapons. Thrusts are pretty effective but hard to land. Strike, guard, dodge all while keeping possible other knights in check. Breaking guards to get a moment of time so you can thrust forwards is a great way of taking down the bigger guys. If you are used to Swordfighting or have a hunch on how diffrent Swords should be used, you´ll find yourself in a big advantage. Neverless the game is still very challenging. Pros: - Music. The Soundtracks fully add to the envoirement and combat - Diffrent types of Swords gets you a lot of diffrent app...

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 weilding hand into the wall as much as combating the knights themselves. It's a credit to the game that even with that restriction it plays well. It gets tough quick, which I find is a disadvantage with less space. I pretty well have to stand my ground, parry and jab. I have also found the scimitar and broadsword are too short for such tactics. I would love to play this game with masses of space, but the minimal space requirement is still well worth the entry fee. I shall be returnung to this game on a regular basis. Edit: I bust my controller: I unlocked skermish, which was great, but when dealing with multiple enemies I took to the tactic of smacking a knight's shield with my sword so they back away - past my play area. A brief check of Youtube, the purchase of ...

You know what? No. I’m sick of this The HTC Vive came out in April of last year. Development kits came out before then to give important community members/developers an idea of whats possible with the technology. This game came out in early access 5 months after the official HTC Vive release. We should not be seeing this kind of trashy tech demo’s at a price of $10 anymore. The unity personal splash screen is here, it looks to be using store assets(bad ones at that, I feel like I’m in VR Quake 2 style graphics here.), and is even more basic than Wii Sports Resorts sword fighting on the Nintendo Wii, which came out back in 2009. Ill admit that isn’t a fair comparison due to the devs involved, but Im saying I wouldn’t spend $10 on that either, let alone this. This should have been free. I am noticing a lot of shovelware/paid tech demo releases in VR; you know what it reminds me of? The video game crash of 1983. Just a truck load of games of varying(mostly crap) qual...

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..

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 number of things wrong with this and i'l try and cover them here. Ultimately it feels like a Wii sword game where you just flail at the right time to win. 1. OMG the hitboxes. These are completely messed up and ultimately what makes the game feel like a Wii sword game.... The shield has a hitbox the size of his mom. It doesn't matter how far you reach around you will most likely hear the clank of the shield even though you are no where near it. I'm not sure why they even have feet because 1 out of 4 times will it actually even register your hit (same with his back and really most all of him). 2. Not accuracy but timing. It's not about how accurate you are but WHEN you swing. If you don't wait for his shield to go down then why swing at all. You can try and be agile and s...

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.
