What it is
Until You Fall is a VR hack-and-slash roguelite from Schell Games, released in 2020. It casts you as the last Rune Knight in Rokar, a fallen civilization whose ruins are now filled with monsters and twisted spirits. With help from a mysterious Runesmith, you forge weapons and fight toward the heart of a neon fantasy world. Combat is physically active: attacks, blocks, spells, and dodges all involve moving your arms and body. Runs vary through randomized rooms, enemy arrangements, rewards, and power-ups, while different groups of corrupted creatures call for different strategies. You can choose among one- and two-handed weapons and adjust the difficulty. A synthwave soundtrack accompanies play, and the original soundtrack is listed as free on Steam. The game is VR-only and lists tracked controller support; Steam also includes achievements, cloud support, trading cards, and Family Sharing. Its listed Steam platform is Windows.
