- The graphics are stunning, with beautiful environments and fluid animations that enhance the overall experience.
- The game features an interesting counterattack system that adds depth to the combat, making timing crucial for success.
- At its price point, the game offers good value, especially for those looking for a short, engaging VR experience.
- The melee combat mechanics are flawed, often leading to a 'wiggle' exploit rather than satisfying swordplay.
- Locomotion is limited to teleportation, which some players find detracts from immersion and the overall combat experience.
- Hit detection issues and a lack of weapon variety can make combat feel unsatisfying and repetitive.

The inclusion of teleportation also plays a significant role in how players engage with enemies, contributing to the overall tactical experience.

“So the use of teleportation is all part of the gameplay here.”
“Depending on whether you choose a ranged or melee weapon will dramatically change the tactics involved in how you engage your enemies, but I particularly want to highlight the sword mechanics.”
