❤ Mastering the Combat System

You wield two weapons simultaneously, each with unique special abilities on a cooldown. Defeating enemies requires carefully managing their "guard" and "health" meters. You must land successful strikes to deplete the enemy's guard, then follow up with damage to their health. Blocking enemy attacks is done by precisely aligning one of your weapons with on-screen visual indicators, testing your timing and positioning.

❤ Customizing Your Loadout

A key part of the gameplay loop is the permanent weapon upgrade system. Between runs, you can upgrade your weapons' attributes like damage, guard breaking power, and special abilities. This provides a sense of progression and encourages you to experiment with different weapon combinations. During each run, you'll also find random power-ups and upgrades that grant temporary boosts, adding an element of strategy in how you manage your loadout. Choosing the right combination of weapons and upgrades to tackle the procedurally-generated challenges is crucial to your success.

❤ Replayable Roguelike Structure

The game is structured as a roguelike, with each run consisting of a series of procedurally-generated stages and enemy encounters. Upon death, you lose your current run progress but retain any permanent weapon upgrades you've unlocked. This roguelike design, combined with the varied enemy types, weapon choices, and upgrades, results in a highly replayable experience. No two runs are exactly the same, encouraging you to explore different strategies and playstyles to overcome the ever-increasing difficulty. The challenging, skill-based combat and sense of progression from unlocking new weapons and upgrades keep you coming back for "one more run" in this fast-paced, physically engaging VR title.

❤ Immersive Physical Engagement

A major part of the appeal is the level of physical engagement required. Swinging swords, blocking attacks, and dodging enemies feels incredibly visceral and immersive in VR. Players report working up a sweat during intense combat sequences, adding a sense of physicality and presence to the experience. The neon-infused, synthwave-inspired art style and responsive audio cues further enhance the feeling of being transported into the fantasy world. The combination of skill-based combat, physical exertion, and atmospheric presentation results in a highly immersive and satisfying VR experience.
