You take the role of a gladiator battling through heavenly realms against champions serving the five sons of the God of the Afterlife. The campaign moves between themed arenas and builds toward boss fights.
Combat is fought with a varied arsenal of weapons you wield, throw, and use to strike enemies. Arena hazards can threaten both you and your opponents, while power-ups provide temporary boosts.
Progress through arena fights to unlock weapons and take on new challenges. After the campaign, Endless Mode offers waves of enemies, and Custom Mode lets you create battlefields.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the chaotic, physical VR brawling, weapon variety, arena hazards, and irreverent humor; some also praise the bosses and extra modes. Others find the combat less impactful or harder to interact with than in the first game, and several describe a short campaign. Opinions on difficulty differ, with some finding fights too easy and others calling out particular bosses as frustrating.
