How it feels

A methodical VR dungeon crawler where you physically dodge attacks in first-person turn-based battles while exploring procedurally generated towers from a god-like perspective.

What players say

Players praise Arcaxer for making turn-based combat work in VR through physically dodging attacks and punching to cast spells, though they split on the dungeon design, calling the floors samey and empty. The difficulty curve is described as weird, with most of the game easy but some bosses extremely challenging, and Oculus Quest controller calibration frustrates some.
