Totally awesome. I'm a nerd living the dream in Japan. I actually train in Iaido and Battodo and... the reason I tell myself I didn't go to the dojo tonight was because it was raining... or this, who knows? lol The details on the swords is freaking great. The hamon, hada, blade geometry such as with the kissaki, the bohi in the wakizashi with the shinogi zukuri geometry... I love it all. Literally, my only thing close to a gripe is the weave in the tsukamaki-ito not being realistic but... hell, they got the henari maki pattern right! I see so many swords in real life, in my own hands that aren't wrapped correctly. The tsukamaki lining up with the kashira and fuchi correctly is just great. I'm in love with the details. The mechanics and all are so satisfying I just hope for more environment details to interact with. Like, when I first noticed the shiba statue... I just wanted to pet the puppy lol Also, saw another review mention no sound over Virtual Desktop. I honestly just thought there was no sound. But, I hope that gets fixed soon! Other than that, this is a pleasure on Oculus Quest 2, wireless (5ghz), with a Dell laptop with an RTX 3060. All I want is more! Cheers!
A fun VR katana sim that I keep coming back to with a really pretty environment. The cutting of the mats is really satisfying, feels nice getting it just right! I also like how the audio is synced up with the slicing mechanic, big fan!
I have tried this game for 20 minutes, so far it is a really enjoyable game, and to me quite calming despite the constant physical movement, for an Early Access title i can so far notice almost no bugs or glitches within the game, although holding something in your left hand will be a bit janky compared to the right hand, but this might just be because i am Right handed, i really do recommend this game for anyone who wishes to try it out.
Still needs a lot of work for tracking the sword swing and movement. So far when handling even 1 sword 2 handed it does not cut when needed or accurately. Yes I have experience in swordsmanship and no this game is far from real. I understand the plot. Maybe once more things are added. Maybe some combat against people would make me come back. Till then please work on your cutting ability in this game. For an early its ok and entertaining for about 4 minutes.
amazing game! the core game play is very satisfying and feels good to play. Has built-in AMD-FSR for better performance, too! also, first review!
Perfect game for any Katana enthusiast like me. It's extremely satisfying to slash those tameshigiri into pieces. The game is still in early access so some issues are to be expected, but it's totally playable and worth the money.
very satisfying
半成品!我是用index玩的 大问题: 剑挥太快了会穿模砍不到。(剑直接穿过竹席) 挥太慢又会砍不穿。(就像炭治郎挥出日之呼吸,砍到鬼的脖子但是突然呼吸错乱,没砍进去) 小问题: 1.wave mode失败后不会重开,点击restart很麻烦 2.zen mode有点无聊 3.移动模式单一, 就是默认的VR SDK新手开发包的移动方式,没有平滑移动和平滑转向。 优点: 挥出剑真的很有感觉 游戏模式潜力很大 希望快点升级修复,半成品感太重了,先退款了哎(玩的我生气!
It's fun, however there is no left-handed mode which is annoying.
Hi! It is a fun game, but it has no audio when play through Virtual Desktop :( The hit register needs a tweak, sometimes it not register any contact with the tatami :(
