How it feels

You stand in a room, arms raised, slashing and blocking as relentless robot waves demand quick reflexes and full-body movement.

What players say

Players describe BladeShield as a fast-paced VR wave shooter that feels like Space Pirate Trainer with lightsabers. The melee combat and saber-chopping physics get praise, though it can get repetitive. Difficulty ramps up quickly with lots of enemy types at once, and some find the menus broken on Oculus Touch. It's considered a solid budget title for short play sessions.
