❤ Gameplay Mechanics

This 1v1 virtual reality combat game distinguishes itself through a strategic dueling system that prioritizes precise blade interactions. Players don't rely on pure physics, but instead create dynamic encounters where careful sword management determines victory.

❤ Core Combat System

The game's primary innovation tracks sword health through targeted strikes. Players aim to break their opponent's blade by striking near the hilt, with weapons becoming progressively weaker after each impact. The system actively punishes wild swinging, rewarding players who use calculated, controlled movements. For example, a samurai must execute short, straight cuts with occasional pausing in traditional stances to deal maximum damage.

❤ Character Diversity

Warriors choose from nine distinct classes, including: Samurai: Requires precise, rapid cuts; Knight: Most beginner-friendly class; Duelist: Emphasizes mobility and point control; Barbarian: Uses wide, slow sword arcs; Persian: Unique weapon and movement patterns.

❤ Special Abilities

Each fighter wields three tactical abilities activated through distinctive body poses: Ward (blocks a fatal blow), Edge Breaker (empowers a single devastating strike), and Second Wind (regenerates weapon durability).

❤ Movement and Physicality

The experience demands authentic physical engagement: Players move using real-world footwork, lunging and dodging become critical strategies, matches serve as unexpected cardio workouts, and tracking responds to precise sword positioning.

❤ Competitive Elements

Players experience global ranked matchmaking, a skill ceiling that rewards continuous practice, tournament-ready mechanics, and a community that frequently bows between matches and offers tactical advice.

❤ Technical Considerations

Optimal play requires 8+ feet of unobstructed play space, a stable internet connection, VR headset with precise motion tracking, and willingness to learn nuanced movement patterns.
