More about Swordsman VR
Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 506 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 21 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2020 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,866 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 63 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 21 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 304 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 47 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
I would not mined this game if the AI you fight did damage the same way you do. they do not even need to move there weapons to kill you, the simple staggering of the enamels can kill you when you are not near there weapon.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
just kinda exists its not good or bad but not necessarily enjoyable honestly just get blade and sorcery its literally just a better version of this
Not bad, but I think this is mid. The best part is the AI, so cool and good combat.
