SWORDS of GARGANTUA features realistic VR swordsmanship, where players can swing, stab, crush, and parry with over 170 weapons to fight their way through 101 floors of enemies to reach the colossal end-boss, Gargantua. Thirdverse added over 140 new swords since that game launched in 2019, and today, a new mechanized one-handed sword “​​Deathbringer” was added for players to smash enemies with its black, blunt blade. Each play-through gives different floor advancement choices along the way, making it a rogue-lite action game. Players can keep all the weapons, items, coins, and stat upgrades collected through each play permanently and combine excess weapons to make stronger versions to aid in progressively difficult battles. Players can also enjoy co-op multiplayer with up to three other adventurers and use native voice chat to call the shots and defeat Gargantua.
