Description: Sword Soul Duel is a strategic VR game of two-player intelligence duel. Every match is a confrontation of intelligence. Control the chess pieces in the game, the goal is to guard a piece of pure land in the desert, predict the opponent’s thoughts, and issue restraining orders through the command array in the hand. The chess pieces plan unpredictable attacks and energy according to the instructions and compete in a special arena. Invincible in the glory of the world.

Review: ‘Sword’s Soul Duel’ is a card battle style game in which you do turn-based actions against your opponent You can use spells, move around the board or just go full melee. At the moment there is only one arena, a handful of character options and even fewer options when it comes to the moves.

The biggest issue I have with ‘Sword’s Soul Duel’ is not so much the crazy price point, but the lack of single-player options as well as the lack of online players. This game is currently a shell of a game with no real way to play it other than getting a friend to pay the extortionate price point of which I am not sure the online multiplayer modes even work! All you can do in single-player mode is practice. While it looks good some of the time, especially some of the cool spells there is nowhere near enough content nor players for me to recommend this. But maybe with more online players, it would be worth playing. But it would still need a MASSIVE price drop.
