Blade and Sorcery is a VR app.

Description

Blade & Sorcery is an open-combat, physics-driven VR game set in a fantastical, medieval world. Fight with magic or swords in a sandbox environment intended to be limited not by mechanics, but by the player's imagination.[1] As of May 2021, the game had no plot, but a very rich setting with a variety of enemies and high levels of gore and violence.[2]

The full version was meant to be released 6 months after initial, early access. However, the developer, WarpFrog, decided to push release back by years to accommodate user feedback. [1]

In earlier versions, the game focused mainly on melee, but with the Sorcery Update, magic became a larger mechanic in the game.[2] There is an anticipated Dungeons update with an undetermined release date.

Reviews

With Update 5 that introduced decapitation among other things in April 2019, a reporter at UploadVR, Jamie Feltham, wrote "If there was any doubt as to if Blade and Sorcery was VR’s bloodiest game yet it’s surely done away with this update."[4]
