Our take on The Broken Seal
Rather than relying only on button-triggered abilities, this action RPG makes spoken commands part of spellcasting. Its VR combat also replaces standard menu-heavy interaction with physical weapon handling, while a non-VR mode extends the same adventure beyond its original format.
What is The Broken Seal?
The Broken Seal is an action RPG built for VR, with a non-VR mode for players who want to join the same adventure.
Spoken commands cast spells, while combat uses different weapon types and physics-based interactions. The game offers more than 40 hours of content across forests, ancient ruins, deserts, and snow-covered mountains. Quests and battles provide weapons, equipment, and other loot for character upgrades. Players can face bosses, use dozens of spells with distinct progression paths, summon pets, and join multiplayer sessions with VR or non-VR players. The vendor also describes planned additions including spells, systems, areas, and monsters.
