Sairento VR

Sairento VR is a first-person PC VR action RPG built around cyber-ninja movement, close-range swordplay, firearms, and acrobatic mission combat. The current Steam listing still uses the name Sairento VR. Sairento Untethered is the separate standalone Quest edition, not a rebrand of the PC version. Developed by Mixed Realms and Swag Soft Holdings and published by Mixed Realms, the PC game remains aimed at experienced VR players who want movement to be part of the fight rather than a way to move between encounters.

Acrobatic movement is the main weapon

Sairento VR's defining system is its free-form cyber-ninja locomotion. You can dash across the ground, launch into the air, perform multiple jumps, run along walls, power-slide beneath attacks, and use optional flips to redirect your momentum. The movement is not a cosmetic flourish. Levels are built around vertical routes and open combat spaces where positioning can decide whether you are surrounded or already attacking from above.

The game uses tracked motion controllers and a first-person viewpoint, with movement actions mapped to controller gestures and buttons. Optional walking locomotion is available for players who prefer a slower approach, while the game's signature jump and dash system lets you cross arenas quickly. Bullet time can be activated during movement, giving you a short window to line up shots, deflect danger, or chain a blade attack before landing.

This design creates a high-input combat loop. A typical encounter may involve dashing behind a target, jumping toward a wall, firing while airborne, slowing time, then landing with a katana strike. The strongest moments come from combining movement and attacks rather than standing still and clearing enemies with one weapon.

Swords, guns, bows, and build choices

The arsenal covers six broad weapon categories: melee weapons, handguns, submachine guns, rifles, shotguns, and projectile weapons. Katanas can be used for close combat and bullet deflection, while bows, shuriken, kunai, glaives, and firearms support different distances and rhythms. You can also fight with bare fists, although the loadout system is designed around mixing complementary tools.

Before a mission, the loadout screen lets you choose which weapons to carry and how to augment them. Relics modify weapon behavior, statistics, and available effects, creating a progression layer that rewards experimentation instead of locking the player into one class. Relics come in several rarity levels and can be refined or fabricated through the armory using in-game resources.

The skill trees add another layer of customization. Skills can improve movement, combat techniques, and special abilities, and the game allows you to respec them when you want to try a different build. This matters because a stealth-focused bow setup plays differently from a dual-firearm loadout or a close-range katana configuration built around aggressive movement.

Campaign, missions, and replayable arenas

Standard Players mode contains the full home version of the game, including the campaign, progression systems, weapon customization, armor customization, and relic management. The story follows Chieko Hatsuri, a cyber ninja associated with the covert Sairento organization, as she investigates threats in a reimagined futuristic Japan.

Alongside the campaign, the mission structure supports repeated runs through five mission types: Purge, Assassination, Elimination, Survival, and Wave Assault. Missions can be modified with Beacons that raise difficulty and increase potential rewards. That structure gives Sairento VR a score-attack and mastery feel even when you are not advancing the story.

The game also includes an Arcade Players mode designed for VR arcade use. It provides preset loadouts and omits the campaign and home-style progression systems, so PC owners should choose Standard Players mode when starting the full version. The Dojo acts as the central preparation area, combining tutorial access, settings, skill management, loadout selection, and mission entry.

Content model and PC edition details

The Steam edition contains a substantial base package with 25 maps and 24 weapons, according to the completed PC content set. The game also received free content additions that expanded the map and weapon lineup. Its paid add-on structure is comparatively simple: Steam lists one Weapons Pack DLC rather than a large sequence of story expansions or seasonal passes.

Sairento VR is a premium purchase on Steam with optional paid additional content. It is not a free-to-play game, and there is no verified storefront indication of a battle pass, recurring subscription, or live-service progression model. The main loop is built around campaign advancement, mission modifiers, relic collection, skill respecs, and improving execution in increasingly demanding encounters.

Online play and who should play it

Steam lists online co-op and online PvP alongside single-player play. The multiplayer component supports cooperative enemy fighting as well as competitive arenas, with the store description also identifying PvE and 4v4 PvP modes. This gives the game more variety than a purely solo VR action title, although the core identity remains its movement-heavy combat.

Sairento VR is a strong fit for players who want intense physical interaction, vertical arenas, sword-and-gun combat, and a progression system that supports different loadouts. It is less suitable for players seeking a seated narrative adventure, slow exploration, or a conventional shooter with restrained movement. The frequent jumping, wall running, flips, and rapid directional changes also make comfort and VR tolerance important considerations before committing to long sessions.

PC VR features and localization

The PC version is VR-only and requires tracked motion-controller input rather than standard monitor-and-keyboard play. Steam lists Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, online multiplayer, and tracked controller support. The manual documents controller layouts for common PC VR input configurations, while the settings menu includes optional movement and comfort controls.

The interface and subtitles are available in English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, German, and Japanese. Full audio is listed for English, while the other supported languages provide interface and subtitle localization. The game also includes a tutorial that can be revisited from the Dojo, which is useful because the locomotion system has more depth than a typical teleport-only VR action game.

Players looking for a later Mixed Realms title built around similarly aggressive VR movement can compare it with first-person VR action roguelikes such as Hellsweeper VR. For a more firearm-focused alternative with physical weapon handling and co-op missions, military-style PC VR shooters like Zero Caliber VR provide a different combat emphasis.
