Vengeful Rites

Vengeful Rites is a VR adventure in which you travel through different locales and dungeons, fighting enemies, finding hidden treasures, solving puzzles and defeating bosses. You play as the last Serafin, pursuing Dragore to avenge your mentor and stop his plan to overrun the world with Others.

Story

The Serafin Brotherhood has long protected humanity from goblins and monsters, but its days of glory have passed. When Dragore, a disgraced former member, returns and kills your mentor, you become the final Serafin and the only one who can seek vengeance and stop his plan.

Fight your way forward

You use swords, bows, magic and your wits to overcome the dangers ahead. Sword combat calls for deliberate swings, timed parries and finding openings to strike. Archery takes skill, and a well-placed headshot can deal heavy damage, especially with a flaming arrow.

You conjure magic with gestures and can learn spells from four disciplines: Destruction, Protection, Restoration and Kinesis. Puzzles, obstacles and boss vulnerabilities also require more than brute force.

Develop your combat style

You unlock perks that specialize in different combat disciplines. There are no classes, and you are expected to use all the tools available, but focusing on swords, bows or magic can give your approach more emphasis. Further specialization can unlock abilities such as powerful two-handed spells and arrows imbued with magic.

Equipment can also shape your abilities. You can use meteor shards to enchant swords with effects such as lifesteal or lightning, replace swords with scepters for additional ranged attacks and better mana management, and craft rings to refine abilities or change how you handle different situations. Difficulty settings can be changed at any time.

Encounters and exploration

You meet a few friendly characters during your travels. They are fully voiced, and voice recognition lets you speak back to them.
