Rokar has fallen to a magical calamity, leaving monsters and twisted spirits among its crystalline ruins. You play as its last Rune Knight, fighting to push back the corruption with help from a mysterious Runesmith.
Combat is built around physical VR movement: strike along guided directions, block incoming attacks, dodge or dash, and use spells to overcome enemies. Foes telegraph their attacks and have defenses to break before you can damage their health.
Choose from one- and two-handed weapons with different fighting styles, then take on runs with changing rooms, enemy groups, and rewards. Pick temporary upgrades as you progress, and use resources earned between runs to unlock or improve weapons.
Players often praise the structured, responsive VR combat, where reading attack cues and improving timing makes fights feel satisfying and skill-based. Weapon variety and the ability to try different fighting styles are recurring draws, as are the neon fantasy visuals and synthwave soundtrack. Some also enjoy the physical intensity, describing runs as a workout, and the appeal of trying another run with a new setup.
Master your own fighting style for hours of frantic, kinetic fun in Until You Fall, an arcade-inspired VR hack-and-slash roguelite.
Prepare for the fight of your life. Move your arms and body to the synthwave soundtrack as you attack, block, cast spells and dodge your way deeper into the heart of a neon fantasy world filled with magic-infused monsters. Equip yourself with a variety of gameplay-altering weapons as you continue to gain strength and strike down the monstrosities that lurk within Rokar.
Rokar has fallen. Once a civilization fueled by a magical power called Aether, the Rokari have been destroyed by a Calamity of unknown origins. Now, monsters and twisted spirits wander these crystallized ruins. As the last remaining Rune Knight, you alone can fight back these horrors. With the help of a mysterious Runesmith, you will forge the weapons needed to complete your campaign. Are you the Champion that Rokar needs?
