Screen Rant's Broken Edge PSVR2 review.
Quick Links Broken Edge wants to be VR’s end-all be-all 1v1 sword-fighting game, and its one-of-a-kind approach to combat is a strong sell. This new ported version arrives to the PlayStation VR2 with an additional playable character, but otherwise seems comparable to its previous VR platforms, with some limited training gameplay that sets things up for the main event of its online PVP.
In what feels like a first, Broken Edge clashes cannot devolve to frantic slap fights, instead requiring players to employ a steady and deliberate set of moves and flourishes to prevail. Each character is surprisingly distinct from one another, and the way their weapon-oriented play styles guide combat in the various configurations – barbarian versus pirate, ronin versus knight, and so on – represent the heart of the game, while also calling back to that old Spike TV series, Deadly Warrior.
These descriptions of combat could apply to several other games, but almost any of these would normally be reliant on simple button presses on a controller. In Broken Edge, player form and positioning in the real world is paramount, and esoteric awakening techniques for certain characters will need to be memorized and internalized to commit any significant progress, even against the game’s AI attackers.
Awakening The Blade The ronin character – a new entrant timed to the PSVR 2 release – requires their single blade be sheathed and methodically unsheathed into a slash to strike with an awakening blade. It’s an admittedly cool feeling when pulling it off, but it does mean waiting for the perfect opening, and leaves the player fairly vulnerable to any quick strikes by the enemy in the run-up, though they can also pose and defend with their scabbard in hand.
