Ironlights combines epic VR melee fighting on Quest with LAN multiplayer support

Ironlights is a new combat-and-dueling melee VR game coming to the Oculus Quest, Rift and SteamVR this spring. The announcement coincides with a Kickstarter with a $15,000 goal aimed at helping developer E McNeill “finish the game strong” before launch. Most notably, the game will support LAN play between two Oculus Quests, so you can fight your fellow Quest owners in the same space without online latency.

Ironlights sees you choose one of five classes and battle against an opponent in measured, dynamic combat in a stadium arena setting. Each class of fighter has a different type of weapon – the Knight has a two-handed greatsword, the Duelist has a rapier and buckler, the Monk has a staff, the Ninja has duel katars, and the Crusader has a flail and shield. You can view the trailer, embedded above, to get a better idea of how the combat looks and plays out.
