Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want low-skill melee combat may hit a wall when sword fights require deliberate swings, timed parries, and openings for attacks.

- Players without VR equipment are outside the game's stated format.
- Players looking for a fixed difficulty may dislike settings that can change during play.
Our take on Vengeful Rites
The bounce point arrives in close combat: swordplay requires deliberate swings and timed parries rather than loose motion. Players who prefer ranged attacks or magic can specialize in those disciplines, but the adventure still expects use of its broader set of tools.
What is Vengeful Rites?
Vengeful Rites is a VR action RPG adventure about the last Serafin seeking vengeance against Dragore.
Players travel through locales and dungeons, battle monsters with swords, bows, and hand-cast magic, search for hidden treasure, solve puzzles, and confront bosses. Combat uses timed parries, deliberate sword swings, archery, and spells from four disciplines: Destruction, Protection, Restoration, and Kinesis. Perks allow specialization in combat styles, while stats, skills, weapons, meteor-shard enchantments, scepters, and crafted rings support character development. Difficulty can change during play. Friendly characters are fully voiced and can respond through voice recognition. Smooth and teleportation locomotion are supported.
