Sellsword VR Reviews

Wait until it gets more updates.

game got abandoned in early access no updates in 2 years

Less than an hour of content. One update since Sept. Too expensive.

The game is quite rough around the edges, it has a long way to go if it is to compete with the likes of Gorn or even Swordmaster VR. Very interesting concept/enhancement for the games when it's farther along... but as of this writing it has playability problems that make things a bit difficult to play with. I'm looking forward to the fixes in later versions. It looks like a lot of fun, but I would advise waiting... just in case. Pros: Nice atmosphere, well designed graphics. Reasonably good sounds too. Cons: (I'm sure the developer will address all of this in later patches.) Although the game claims "Anything can be used as a weapon" (At least in early areas), not much is. Enemies do not drop weapons, and nothing is within reach. Movement once the game is started does not seem to work. Collision physics are a bit wonky. Things that should hit don't, things that shouldn't do. Wind up flailing randomly because it makes very little sense. (Which works??) When "Hit" they use the FPS cliche of surrounding the view with red, but the way it's implemented shrinks the vision down to a basketball after the first hit making it very annoying and difficult to see. Since there's no healing/regen, after that 1st hit, you're stuck with the deminished view permanently. Game over screen may say you've won, or lost, incorrectly.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. Sort of [/h1] My review will be short. I started game. I was in the menu and created a character. Then I was in the main hub. I put a Steel sword card as my equipment. Then an option opened up to press a lever to start the default mode which is an endless mode timed for 5 minutes. I pressed lever and started this mode. When I arrived, after viewing several prompts, one of them says to press trigger to start. I pressed trigger on both my controllers and the gates opened and a lot of enemies attacked me. I pressed trigger behind my back to get my sword, but I soon died. After dying there is an option to retry level. I pressed that lever. I restarted and again pressed trigger on both controllers. I got my sword. And then nothing. The gates opened and I saw skeleton clipping through the walls. I quit game and restarted. Same thing. I quit Steam, restarted my computer, started a new game. Same thing. I deleted old save file. Same thing. Nothing works. I get to see the gates open and enemies clipping through walls. Rate 2/10. Do NOT buy. Game has not been updated, has little content, and has a major bug which I am unable to fix. REFUND REQUEST.
