Tales of Glory (VR)

Steel, mud, and shouting soldiers define a VR medieval sandbox built around making every clash feel personal. Tales of Glory places you in a fractured land of five rival kingdoms, where a family tragedy gives your rise to power a revenge-driven starting point but leaves plenty of room to shape your own campaign. One moment you are shoulder to shoulder with infantry in a chaotic field battle; the next, you are riding down a line with a cavalry charge or storming a fortified settlement. The tone is deliberately rough, violent, and exuberant, leaning into the physical spectacle of medieval warfare rather than polished chivalric fantasy.

Combat uses motion-controlled weapons and physics-heavy impacts, asking you to swing swords, thrust spears, block incoming strikes, fire bows, and even fight with bare hands when a plan collapses. More than 50 weapon types support different approaches, from quick daggers and axes to polearms, maces, flails, and ranged gear, while ragdoll reactions give successful hits a satisfyingly messy weight. Outside individual fights, the sandbox campaign has you recruit troops, improve skills, purchase equipment, manage territory, take missions, compete in tournaments, raid coasts, attack convoys, and defend castles. Procedurally assembled dungeons, randomized battle setups, and a broad selection of battlefields keep repeated encounters from playing out exactly alike, while diplomacy lets you influence nobles and rulers beyond the battlefield.

Its strongest draw is the ambition to combine a hands-on VR brawler with the army-command and kingdom-management appeal associated with Mount & Blade. Massive engagements can feel gloriously disordered, especially when horseback combat, allied troops, and physical melee all collide at once. The experience is best suited to VR players who want freedom, spectacle, and emergent war stories more than a tightly scripted adventure or ultra-precise competitive combat system. Veterans of medieval sandboxes will appreciate the campaign scope, while newcomers should be ready for demanding motion-based fighting and the occasional chaos that comes with large-scale physics battles.
