Our take on Crimen - Mercenary Tales
The arcade format concentrates on direct slashing, leaving less room for the physics-based interactions found in other VR titles. Its eight-tale structure also keeps the campaign focused on separate adventures rather than one extended narrative.
What is Crimen - Mercenary Tales?
Crimen - Mercenary Tales is an arcade VR slasher featuring eight comic adventures narrated by eight expressive characters.
Players battle across locations such as haunted fortresses, old temple sites, abandoned wrecks, and other settings, wielding a selection of weapons associated with 17th-century Europe. Colorful comic-inspired visuals accompany tavern humor, hidden jokes, and references to popular culture. The tavern’s mercenary patrons frame stories about their overstated exploits. Arkadiusz Reikowski supplies a soundtrack rooted in Slavic folk music. Combat emphasizes straightforward sword-swinging action instead of the physics-driven interactions used by some other VR games.
