Broken Edge

Broken Edge is definitely a Sword Fighting VR game for the competitively minded. Instead of fighting against AI opponents like you’ll find in most VR Sword Fighting Games, Broken Edge pits you in a One on One PvP Duel against another actual player.

It’s a ton of fun, and kind of feels like fencing in real life. You’ll have a ton of characters with different weapons and secondary items in Broken Edge, like the Knight with a broadsword and shield, or the Duelist with a rapier and dagger, or even the Barbarian with a massive sword. With so many different swords and characters to fight with and against you’ll be able to fight in the way that fits your style.

Broken Edge is a tense PvP VR Sword Fighting experience that will test your patience and reflexes. If you’re interested in having a sword fight against another player, then there is no Sword Fighting VR Game on the Oculus Quest 2 that can be more recommended.

Until You Fall

Until You Fall is an action fantasy roguelike set in an ancient kingdom overcome by a strange crystalline evil that turned your once proud people into monstrous versions of themselves. You, as the kingdom’s last defender, must fight your way through it to defeat the evil that has infested your home. You’ll fight a variety of enemies with different attacks that you must parry or dodge. To do this you’ll also have a bunch of weapons to choose from like Swords, knives, axes, and even fists.

Since Until You Fall is a roguelite, you need to fight your way to the end without falling yourself, and pulling that off is the great hook of the game. Hit certain milestones to get more options for your arsenal, and further upgrade your weapons with better stats using points that you get each time you fail. The progression is very solid for a roguelike, and keeps you coming back for another upgrade to your favorite weapon.

Until You Fall’s greatest strength other than it’s progression is its use of both of your hands in its action combat, and it’s way of encouraging you to move. Some even say that Until You Fall is a workout. Whether it is or not it is very strategic, and requires good reflexes. Mix and match the weapons you take in either hand. Some are slower, some are faster, and see which special abilities combine for the greatest effect. Until You Fall gives you some opportunities to plan and think about your character build, while also having loads of quick action.

Blade and Sorcery: Nomad

Out of every game on this list, you’ve probably heard of Blade and Sorcery: Nomad. It has all the great tiktoks and youtube videos, second in infamy there only maybe to Bonelab. Why? Because Blade and Sorcery (and by extension it’s Quest 2 counterpart, Blade and and Sorcery: Nomad). Is supremely moddable with everything from Halo guns to Star Wars lightsabers. This game is the most well recognized VR Sword Fighting game, but it can also be much more if you want it to be.

It’s also a ton of fun without mods. There is a large variety of medieval weaponry to choose, from bows to massive two handed swords, to glorified hunks of metal on a stick. The opponents you face are very well animated, attack, and respond dynamically. The Sword Fighting in this Virtual Reality game is visceral and varied. It’s consistent fun that will keep you coming back for another bout.

Oh, and as the name also implies, you get magic. Throw fireballs, or send lighting from your hands, or dangle someone upside down off of a cliff with a gravity spell. There’s a ton of sandbox fun to be had, and promises of an RPG mode somewhere down the line.

Swordsman VR

Like the idea of Blade and Sorcery, but like the “Blade” part more than the “Sorcery” part? Well then Swordsman is probably your go to Meta Quest 2 Sword Fighting game.

The goal of Swordsman is to be the best sword fighting game for Virtual Reality, and they’ve done quite a lot to try to earn that reputation. With an RPG progression system and a ton of enemies to face, Swordsman certainly isn’t strained for content, and these enemies are much tougher than you might be accustomed to.

Each is heavily armored, and parries and ripostes your attacks with precise moves and timing, more precise than any other sword fighting game available. If you want an intricate fencing experiences, where every move counts and mistakes are punished immediately, then Swordsman is your game. Master opponents from Vikings to Samurai and everything in between. It’s tough, but it’s so satisfying to land that perfect counter on your enemy’s exposed elbow.

Battle Talent

Battle Talent used to be free, but is now a game you need to pay for, though it is fantastic as we’ve mentioned before. It is also the most High Fantasy, with all sorts of goblins, elves, and skeletons for you to fight with a variety of weapons and spells. There’s a spear that spits lightning and a literal gun. That’s not even counting the tons of weapons that can be modded in. Battle Talent is just as moddable as Blade and Sorcery.

There are a ton of swords and other weapons to choose from, and a ton of different enemies to fight from Skeletons to Goblins to Elves. If you want a VR Sword Fight with strong Fantasy elements and enemies then you’ll get that in Battle Talent VR.

Though besides being free, Battle Talent has a leg up on any other action game with it’s exciting maze mode. There aren’t exactly a lot of RPG elements to go with a lot of these fighting games, and so Battle Talent shines because of the many interesting character building choices you make in its mazes.

You start the maze with a single weapon and average stats, but over the course of the maze as you defeat enemies and bosses you build and enchant your arsenal to make it more powerful. You also get upgrades to your character like extra health or magical damage. Make a powerful mage, or a burly warrior, or anything in between.
