DEUS VULT | Online VR sword fighting

This is it. VR melee combat. I've got 7 hours in and I can own some people, lose to others. The game feels like I'm back in martial arts class. You have to defend your weak points and take advantage of your opponent's mistakes. You can block attacks, you can sidestep around enemies. Every game I try to learn more and more about how to play so that I can improve. Some people I can just totally negate their weapon with one of my weapons while I side stab them. Some people run back and forth swinging wildly. There's talk here and there of various weapons being OP, and that might be true, but when in history did people really know what was 'OP' until years and years of top level competition? Devs seem to be pretty active as the game just came out and there's already been patches. The community has only grown since launch, and while there might be 10-20 people on, I feel like it's going to keep growing, and it's usually not hard to find a match. Unfortunately matchmaking...

In Deus Vult you fight against one other opponent with swords or other meelee weapons, fight vs AI or human's online. Level up to unlock new items, and gear up your character with new armor & weapons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mLbXqykwqk

The only way I can explain the positive reviews for this game is that so far, VR is a young market and people are more lenient with the games. Just from the top off my head: -Shield doesn't always properly parry the damage. I kept getting killed by someone hitting my shield. -The weapon physics is AWFULL. I swear I cannot put into words how bad it is: ----Your weapon goes really slow when you're in close combat??? ----Your weapon gets stopped by stuff you're not even remotely touching so you're constantly parried ----Somehow stabbing someone pushes him away(???) so if he has a spear you're making his life easier: the game punishes you for managing to get at the right distance by... pushing your opponent away? -You can fall off the lobby. Now, it's early access and issues are to be expected... But the game has customs, multiple maps, and a lot of weapons... Wich begs the question: If the devs would rather add weapons and maps and beards, are they able to fix the issues or are they j...

I do like the game itself. But it seems to be abandoned. It's unfinished. It has only very basic features. It receives no more updates. There are no other players. The AI fights are totally boring. Can't recomend to buy this for 22,99 Euro. :(

Guys hear me out. This game is dead. I was looking forward for some challenge with other people but there is no one online. The AI fight is boring and easy. I was expecting spare would be like polearms but no. I am asking for a refund.

No... One question. Why would your locomotion involve reaching out and grabbing the air and pushing it behind you to move?

This game... is freaking AWESOME! It's Early Access and it shows, and could use some major improvements in some areas (sword physics or response time is a little goofy.) but it nonetheless is great fun. Landing those awesome moves on another player is great, the weapons that I've unlocked so far are unique and feel very different and are all very fun. Get this game if you have VR, and hey it doubles as a gym membership. I played for one hour and probably lost 6lbs in sweat alone. Oh and stay away from THE POON DESTROYER. Trust me

I've gotten my sword bent at a 90 degree angle from my arm with it ever so slowly returning back to regular position, nowhere near fast enough for me to strike back at my enemy even after backing away to recover. I've been killed from guys running circles around me 360 and smacking me with an axe, even though it seems that slashing is really ineffective. Stabbing with my sword seemed to be the only effective type of attack, even after trying various speeds for swinging. The tutorial sucks and it simply teaches you how to walk and puts you against what I assume is an easy level bot without teaching you how to attack and defend yourself properly. (This may be improved in the future) There seem to be lag issues with blocking which may be more prominent if you are a proud European owner of a VR headset. It seems to me that people might just be buying the game for the meme name and if that's you then... I can't really tell you not to? But if you want good melee fighting gameplay in VR, ...

I had only two battles so far. It's too warm today ;) My Impressions so far: Graphics and Presentation are very nice. 1 vs 1 Multiplayer is working good. The fights are a little bit chaotic. It needs some fine tuning. This game has big potential and I'm looking forward to have more content. PvE and Battles with more players would be fun. Update 1.5 hours played: I still enjoy the fighting. There are some funny guys around! BUT: The fights are often too chaotic. For me it seems that "2-Hand weapon wild slashing" is overpowered. Either cancel 2-Hand Weapon or decrease the damage when using 2 Weapons. Maybe a stamina-system might help to avoid wild slashing orgies. I enjoyed the strategic shield vs. shield battles more. In the Tavern you should include some mini-games. Otherwise people won't wait, if there is no other player available and the game might die quick, what would be sad. Anyway: Nice game! Keep up the good work!
