What players say

Players call the game abandonware since 2017. The physics feel janky and the blade angle is very picky, with some saying cuts pass through fruit. The original Tatami mode gets some praise for its satisfying accuracy, but performance and tracking issues are common, especially on Oculus headsets. Many players buy it only for a Steam VR katana item.
