Play the beats you usually study/relax to! 📚 LOFI Katana is a VR rhythm game with a unique atmosphere inspired by everyone’s favourite late-night playlists. Leave your room and head to the highest rooftop. Find your musical sanctuary away from the city noise. Hit the shurikens with your katana and wave your fan to the rhythm of the music.

Don’t stop the music! Experience the atmosphere around you reacting to your actions and immerse yourself in the flow of your favourite tracks. To integrate your music, you will simply need to put your MP3 or WAV files into the game's /Music folder. Our Algorithm itself will take care of creating a deterministic gameplay from the song and generating a level from the parameters you have chosen.

Gameplay -Enjoy your music with simple but challenging sequences that blend dance and combat: -In Classic mode, flip your fan to match the incoming ones, and wield a katana in your other hand to slice the flying shurikens coming towards you. -Select your difficulty level, from a calm and relaxing routine to a more challenging and energetic session. -Try out the alternative modes: “Only Fans” and “Only Katanas” for a new take on the Classic gameplay. -LIV integration available for streamers and influencers who like to dance and move along with their favourite music!

So much Potential but to buggy

I was Realy looking forward to this but sadly have to return it. I tried it on all generations of Quest headsets ad it eiher freezes and am forced to do a hard boot or im faced wth. Black screen of death and only stuttering audio. It appears to disable any tracking within the controllers even if I manage to make It back to the the home screen. I did manage to get I running once in the Quest 3 on first boot and honestly its quite beautiful and well laid out menus however I only had 10 min of gameplay due to time constraints and could never get back in just like the other headsets. I tried all kind of troubleshooting including altering my refresh rate but honestly I'm worried I'm going to mess up my headsets with all the hard resets. Please contact me if you ever get this sorted out and I'll consider rebuying it. I know it's a work in progress and don't mind a few bugs but basically It comes down to this being unplayable. Sorry

A regular in my daily game, customizing songs is very easy, which makes it more personalized. I love it!

From 3 to 4

Came back to bump this from 3 stars to 4 stars. Initially I thought it was just OK, but not something I'd play often. But as it happens, I do play it quite often. The caveat being, that I only play it with double-katana, on shuriken only mode. A big part of my initial dislike was that the planets (you have to slice up) don't offer any haptic feedback (making it feel a bit lame). The shuriken's do. The fans are interesting too. But yeah, shuriken-only/double-katana mode makes this game good. Feels like doing sword-form Tai Chi set to chill music. :)

Fan rhythm game is so different!!

First, I have my Quests primarily for fitness, so I have Beat Saber, Synth Riders, Audiotrip, Pistol Whip, PowerBeats, OhShape, Etc. I also like martial arts and fighting games, so I have games like Crazy Kung Fu, Guided, Tai Chi, Thrill of Fight, etc. (all of the above are must-haves btw.) A fan-based rhythm game is so different from all of these, I really love it. There's no other game I've seen that makes you flip your wrist, and that brings an added dimension of fun. As a tai chi enthusiast with a fan form, I see a lot of potential here, even though it's so different. Raising heart rate is a little harder in this game, but I've done it. I'm not sure why there are so few reviews, and such low ratings, but I think it's totally fun. I haven't experienced most of the bugs others have mentioned (crashes??). In a way, it's nice for me because I'm rated #1 on all the songs, lol. All that said, it's not perfect. Here are some of my wishlist items, if devs have a chance: 1. It's a little too forgiving -- and I already play the hardest config (Extreme with all katana items and manual fan flip). You should lose a heart for every mistake: chopping a planet the wrong way, holding the fan the wrong orientation or flipped the wrong way, &. You know you lose for those in Beat Saber and PowerBeats. Toggle this on/off if some people like otherwise, and give No Fail mode. 2. Give us third-person view. Since you already set this up for Steam users, let us view from 3rd person also. Default avatar can be the one from the promo video, she's easy on the eyes. 3. Flipping in two-fan mode. This is the unique part of the game. 4. Skip option on elevator. The load up is very long in general. 5. Haptics on hits. 6. Opening and closing of fan. That's one the of the best parts of using a fan as weapon. Ideally open and close with wrist snap. Closed it can have the functionality of the katana, slicing planets/shuriken. 7. Direction on planet slices. Out of space.
