Sellsword VR

Sellsword VR is a virtual reality action RPG set in a kingdom where the King's Guard has disappeared and threats are returning. You join a revived Mercenary's Guild and take on missions for experience and gold, exploring caves and forgotten temples, finding rare artifacts, and fighting enemies. The game currently includes about an hour of gameplay, including the demo level from PAX West, additional dungeon levels and arena levels.

Story

For several generations, the King's Guard kept the kingdom safe, bringing it the longest period of peace it had known. People stopped worrying about monsters and other threats, but then monsters appeared near town, grain fields went barren and traders vanished. The King's Guard was nowhere to be found.

With few people remembering life before the Guard, rumors of the old Mercenary's Guild offered a possible source of help. The guild, once home to mages, warriors and rogues who took on tasks for a fee, had been abandoned during the peaceful years and turned into a tavern. Its old barkeep told stories of the guild, which most people dismissed as fables. Then a cryptic message appeared in the town square announcing that the guild had returned and was recruiting.

Combat and exploration

You fight with melee weapons using swings, stabs, parries and blocks. Your movements and techniques affect attack strength, while enemies and weapons have multiple strike zones. Enemies respond to your attacks with physics-based animations, and you can trip, grab and shove them.

Dungeons contain puzzles, traps and enemies. Environments are interactive: objects can catch fire, break or be used as weapons against enemies. Missions reward experience and gold, which help you unlock weapons and abilities.
