Great VR Games Like Blade and Sorcery

Looking for VR Games Like Blade and Sorcery on the Oculus Quest 2 or PCVR? Well then look no further because we’ve got some great games like Blade and Sorcery right here. Whether you’re waiting for the next content update, or just want a game like Blade and Sorcery that you also might find fun, there’s going to be something that you’ll like here.

Battle Talent

Battle Talent is a great VR game like Blade and Sorcery that you can play on the Oculus Quest 2 or Oculus Quest Pro, or through PCVR through a cabled headset or Meta Airlink.

Battle Talent has an even more High Fantasy feel than Blade and Sorcery, 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.

Battle Talent has a leg up on any other action game with its exciting maze mode. There aren’t exactly a lot of RPG elements in Blade and Sorcery, 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.

Legendary Tales

Legendary Tales is another great game like Blade and Sorcery. For now Legendary Tales is only available on PCVR, though that might change, and it’s also got a lot of great RPG elements, even more than Battle Talent.

In Legendary Tales you start in a small town and descend downwards into a huge, randomly generated dungeon. Each level you go deeper, the harder the traps and monster inside get. Legendary Tales is also very high fantasy, with all sorts of goblins, skeletons, and other monsters to fight with weapons or magic.

The whole game has a very Diablo like feel to it. Even the music sounds similar to that in the original Diablo. There’s also a town portal that you can use to return to town at any time. There’s a stat system too, and randomly generated loot that you get from monsters to upgrade your character as you go deeper and deeper. These items give you additional stat points and bonuses. You decide what type of character you want to play as. Magic, bows, swords, knives, maces, and all other sorts of weapons are available for you to use.

Out of all games like Blade and Sorcery on this list, Legendary Tales gives you the most RPG elements. You won’t find yourself just fighting enemies, but also managing your inventory, potions, magic, and stats to be as strong as possible and play the way you want to.

Hellsplit: Arena

Want a game like Blade and Sorcery with a dark and gothic tone to it? Well then Hellsplit: Arena might be the game for you. While it’s only available on PCVR, Hellsplit: Arena combines satisfying combat with a wide range of upgrades and enemies to make for a very fun experience.

In Hellsplit: Arena you are a knight fighting your way through waves of undead enemies. At first they’ll be unarmored and wielding simple weapons, but as you go through more and more arenas full of the undead they’ll become stronger with metal armor and weapons burning with evil hellfire. While your enemies become stronger you do too, because you can buy upgrades to your own armor and weapons as you progress through the hellish arenas. There’s even guns in the form of old timey flintlock pistols.

Each arena is dark, gritty, and gothic. You feel like you’re in the land of the dead when playing Hellsplit: Arena, and that feeling is a big part of what makes this game great. The sword fighting itself is also solid and visceral. While Hellsplit: Arena doesn’t offer the most customization and has no magic system like Blade and Sorcery does, it’s still a very fun sword fighting game and worth a try if you’re a Blade and Sorcery fan who would like to fight the undead instead of people.

Swordsman VR

Swordsman VR is great if you want to really embody the art of the sword. There are even a few magical swords with magical abilities, though the robust spell system of Blade and Sorcery won’t be found here. Still, if you want to fight enemies with a sword, knife, or mace that are really hard to take down and respond intelligently to your attacks then Swordsman VR is the one of these great games like Blade and Sorcery for you.

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 action game. The goal of Swordsman is to be the best sword fighting game in VR, and they’ve done quite a lot to try to earn that reputation. With a basic 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 VR 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.

Swordsman VR is available on the Quest 2 standalone, and PCVR.
