QUICK NAVIGATION:
1. Game Introduction
Brisk Square is a VR action game that combines the rhythm slicing of Beat Saber with the rail shooting of Pistol Whip. Currently in free Early Access (available on Oculus App Lab), players automatically move forward while using ninja swords, grapple guns, or telekinesis to defeat enemies and dodge obstacles.
2. Core Gameplay Mechanics
Dual-Wield Mode
Wield two swords for melee combat, requiring fast slicing movements to hit targets accurately.
Grapple Mode
Use your left hand for grapple attacks (ranged) while your right hand assists with defense. Press Y on the left controller to activate slow-motion.
Special Abilities
Telekinesis: Aim at objects with your left hand to grab and throw them at enemies.
Bullet Time: When activated, time slows briefly allowing for easier dodging and counterattacks.
3. Progression System
Skill Tree
Features branches including slow-motion enhancements and telekinesis range upgrades that significantly improve combat efficiency when unlocked.
Shop Equipment
Unlock weapons like scythes and boomerangs, plus fun novelty items including the "Candy Sword" and "Soup Spoon".
Character Leveling
Gain experience through completing levels to upgrade attributes and unlock new abilities.
4. Essential Combat Tips
- Defense: Block bullets with your sword or crouch to avoid low obstacles
- Rhythm: Listen for audio cues that signal attack timing (similar to rhythm games)
- Level Awareness: While the tunnel environment is static, you'll need to move laterally to handle enemies approaching from both sides
5. Final Verdict
Brisk Square successfully blends elements from popular VR titles while adding depth through its skill tree and equipment systems. Though the tunnel environment lacks variety, the satisfying combat and free price point make it worth trying. Recommended upgrade path: prioritize telekinesis and slow-motion abilities first, then experiment with different weapon combinations to find your preferred playstyle.
