I'll recommend because I don't think the game should be downvoted into oblivion before the devs even have a chance to develop it more. There is a decent concept and framework in here. It's fun to dice enemies and block/slice arrows. That said, there are a lot of things which need work. 1. Enemy AI. This is basically the make or break of a game about swordfighting. Enemies react (sort of) appropriately when you parry them, but that's about the only good thing here. They don't pay attention to distance, or the range of your weapon. They ignore the threat of a point in their face. Where they attack and when they keep attacking or pause has no real logic to it. You have a long way to go here. 2. Thrusts. They seemed to be possible, but did little damage, and detection was dodgy. Thrusts are very important -_- 3. Same issue every melee game but GORN has right now - the quiver from tracking the very light vive controllers 1:1. Not only does this make it hard for impacts to feel good, but...

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This is probably the steal of the 2018 Steam Summer sale (VR). For $2.49 you're getting an awesome game. Just understand what it is you're getting before hitting that Add to Cart button. This is a sword / axe / twin staff with sharp edges combat simulator. Is it realistic? Well, no, you're not actually carrying around a sword and the weight is not anything you'll feel unless you're going mixed reality. Even then, you couldn't feel the weight of force from your enemy. You won't feel the cuts either. So yeah, of course it isn't realistic. Is it fun? Oh hell yeah. And no, you can't just swing crazily away. I mean you can, but you won't get very far if you do. See, you fight endless waves of enemies. They wield all types of swords / axes / twin staffs and yeah a bow too (you can't use a bow). You will hate every single bowman in the field of battle. Yes, they will try to gank you. Yes, it is unfair. But you know what else ...

Fun game. Hit detection feels a little off, but mostly sound. It's fun to limit yourself to one sword on hard and see how far you can get. Would be nice to have a campaign in the future!

Right now i cant say it's worth it. It does have some potential though for sure. In the future i hope they add better animations and an arcade mode or something to that effect.

A very promising first person slasher that has been abandoned. Avoid.

update: game is dead. don't buy this. This is really barebones. i can't recommend this until some more work is put into this. However, i'm not going to return this because I want to support the development of this game, and it appears that they are making some effort to improving this title, so until then i'd suggest something else.

I got this on sale for a dollar and it's honestly something I get more play time out of them most things I pay way more for. it's for sure an early release but it is fun to play for a few min here or there.

I really enjoyed this. Good choice of 1 and 2 handed weapons with a realistic feel to them, adjustable difficulty and pretty immersive with the new maps.
