Our take on Samurai Sword VR

Players who expect a broader combat toolkit may hit a wall when the stages center on dashing and cutting with katana, shuriken, or kunai. The two kunai-and-shuriken-only levels narrow weapon choice further, while the score-focused structure may not suit players seeking a campaign with varied objectives.

What is Samurai Sword VR?

Set in a Japan facing chaos, this VR action game has players dash through stages and use a katana and shuriken against obstacles and foes.

It offers 7 stages based on historical Japanese settings, plus 2 levels limited to kunai and shuriken. Players cut through targets to build high scores and compete with others. Stages include a castle with a boss fight, a town traveled by wooden boat, a cherry blossom field, and a bamboo forest. Katana choices include flame, lightning, and standard versions. The game has a traditional Japanese soundtrack and supports seated or standing play. It currently works only with HTC Vive.
