Blade & Sorcery is a built-for-VR medieval fantasy with full physics driven melee, ranged and magic combat. Become a powerful warrior, ranger or sorcerer and devastate your enemies.
The game's physics-driven melee combat system is the primary draw for players. Wielding a variety of medieval weapons, players can intuitively swing, thrust, and parry with a realistic sense of weight and momentum. Collisions are determined by fine hitboxes, rather than abstract damage calculations, creating a visceral and satisfying feel to combat. Players must carefully time and aim their strikes to be effective.
The game's physics simulation extends to all objects in the environment, allowing players to creatively use their surroundings as improvised weapons. Throwing bottles, smashing tables, and even catching and using enemies' own weapons against them are just a few of the emergent gameplay possibilities. Abilities like telekinesis and slow motion further expand the options for unique and personalized playstyles.
The game's modding community has created thousands of mods that add new weapons, spells, enemies, and environments. This allows players to tailor the experience to their specific interests, whether that's recreating fantasy franchises or indulging violent power fantasies. The modability keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging for experienced players.
The physics-based combat system allows for impressive and gory dismemberment effects. Limbs can be lopped off realistically, and enemies react viscerally to damage, further enhancing the brutal and satisfying feeling of combat. While this level of gore may be off-putting to some, it contributes to the game's sense of visceral realism.
