The graphics are outstanding, with beautiful character models and immersive environments that enhance the overall experience.
The game features a unique counterattack system that adds depth to the combat, requiring players to time their swings carefully for maximum damage.
Boss fights are epic and visually impressive, providing a thrilling challenge against giant enemies.

The melee combat mechanics are flawed, often leading to a 'wiggle exploit' where players are incentivized to flail rather than engage in realistic swordplay.
The game only offers a limited selection of weapons, which can feel repetitive and restricts combat variety.
Locomotion is restricted to teleportation, which some players find detracts from immersion and the overall combat experience.

The gameplay is heavily influenced by the choice between ranged and melee weapons, which alters tactical engagement with enemies.

- “This mechanic is really cool, and with the exception of Aeon, is not something you see in VR games.”
- “Depending on whether you choose a ranged or melee weapon will dramatically change the tactics involved with how you engage your enemies, but I particularly want to highlight the sword mechanics.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its playful mechanics, such as a special move that allows players to slow down time and slice through enemies, reminiscent of the over-the-top action found in titles like Metal Gear Rising.
