How it feels

A realistic VR swordplay simulation focused on precise katana handling and physics-based cutting.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying katana cutting and sword details but consistently report hit registration problems, janky tracking, and no left-handed mode. The developer has not updated the game since late 2024, leaving promised content undelivered, which divides players between those who enjoy the core physics and those who find it unfinished.
