Broken Edge

A nuanced and excellent sword fighting game with far more depth than you might see on the surface, Broken Edge delivers martial arts combat, albeit with an almost exclusive online focus.

Broken Edge is elegantly well-balanced with a considerable skill ceiling to reach for, systemically built on finely tuned fighter fundamentals. This would be a terrific game for a group of friends to play together as a fight club and, while not on the level of something like BoxVR, it definitely serves up a workout during extended play sessions. It would be no surprise if it successfully broke through as a viable esport, and its cross-platform functionality with other VR headsets should keep lobbies busy on its new platform launch. Broken Edge is fairly priced for its content – and Trebuchet will hopefully widen its roster with even more additional characters – but solo players should just be fully aware of its multiplayer leanings on entry. En garde!
