How it feels

A fast-paced VR battle arena where you dodge projectiles, earn combos, and counterattack with slow-motion and teleportation mechanics.

What players say

Players who get it working enjoy dodging slow plasma bolts and the auto-targeting attack, which removes the need to aim. Some say the Vive controller support did not work at launch, though a quick patch helped. There is no tutorial, and a few players find the core loop of dodging projectiles tedious or compare it unfavorably to Holopoint.
