Swords of Gargantua brings heavy swordfighting battles to VR

Swords of Gargantua launches as a virtual reality swordfighting game today on the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality, and Oculus Quest.

Developed by Japan’s Yomuneco and published by Gumi, the game attempts to re-create the feeling of having an actual swordfight with mighty Gargantuas, or big beasts. We’re not just talking about parrying an obvious swing coming at you. This game encourages you to get physical with your mighty swings.
