Best VR RPGS On The Oculus Quest 2

RPG games are incredibly complex, which is why making them takes a lot of time. But the wait is usually worthwhile since most good RPGs do an extremely good job of making the players feel like they are part of a unique universe. While there are a lot of good RPG games on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, it sometimes becomes hard to find equally good ones on other niche platforms. One such platform is Meta Quest 2, which has a few good RPG titles on it.

Many people would feel that the VR platform still needs more games to justify the purchase of a headset, and this may be correct in some instances. However, there's no denying that Meta Quest 2 games include a solid library of RPGs that fans should check out, allowing them to immerse themselves in brilliant fantasy worlds that are genuinely awe-inspiring in every way. VR gaming will continue to be on the rise for quite some time, and these games are just a taste of the wonders that players will enjoy in some time as this technology continues to progress by leaps and bounds.

Updated on January 22, 2024 by Ritwik Mitra: The release of the Meta Quest 3 has been a landmark event for VR gaming, but the Quest 2 is still a device that continues to be quite relevant despite its successor being a massive improvement in every way. There are a wealth of amazing titles where players can use the medium of VR to get completely immersed. RPG games are quite effective here, and there's nothing more satisfying than using the motion of one's movements to carry out powerful attacks and defeat a plethora of challenging foes, all the while getting stronger in the process.

21 RUINSMAGUS

Meta Store Rating: 4.3/5

• Platform(s): PC, Meta Quest
• Release Date: July 7, 2022
• Developer: CharacterBank

RUINSMAGUS is a game that has garnered a lot of positive reception, and understandably so. The game is a blast to play through, with players stepping into the shoes of a novice mage and using their powers to lay waste to any enemy unlucky enough to stand in their way.

Players need to investigate the ruins under the town of Grand Amnis, returning to this haven to stock up on armor, resources, weapons, and anything else that can help them out in their journey. There aren't many great VR JRPGs out there, making RUINSMAGUS an easy recommendation for players seeking out a unique experience.

20 Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice

Meta Store Rating: 4.3/5

• Platform(s): PC, PlayStation 5, Meta Quest
• Release Date: November 2, 2023
• Developer: Fast Travel Games

Vampire: The Masquerade is a beloved IP that has felt cursed ever since the launch of Bloodlines. No other game in the series has reached the heights of this incredible RPG, but there's a VR game that utilizes this IP to great effect.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice is a game that was released fairly recently that fans love. The stealth gameplay is pretty riveting, even if some people feel like it doesn't use the medium of VR to its fullest extent.

19 Ancient Dungeon

Meta Store Rating: 4.8/5

Ancient Dungeon is one of the most underrated games that fans can check out on the Quest 2, with this roguelite dungeon crawler featuring great combat, fun environments, and endless replayability. The game is pretty simple... But when it comes to VR, it's the simple games with effective mechanics that end up being the most memorable, and Ancient Dungeon is a great example of this.

The title can be pretty challenging, and players should be ready to die a few times before they truly get the hang of things. Thankfully, once players get into the groove of things, they'll be able to make a lot of progress in each successful run while also figuring the the most optimal way possible to deal with the many enemies in this excellent VR RPG.

18 Arcaxer

Meta Store Rating: 4.7/5

Most RPG games are known for having turn-based combat, and most people would assume that the medium of VR makes it hard to replicate this combat. However, Arcaxer made it clear that this form of gameplay can very much translate to virtual reality if integrated properly. Taking on the roguelike formula, players in Arcaxer are tasked with climbing the Stack, an endless tower full of monstrosities who have it in for the player.

The player has to climb floor upon floor until he can face off against the game's major boss, the Task Master. This is easier said than done, with players having to spend hours upon hours mastering the combat of the game before getting a chance to tackle the final boss, who will also whoop them quite a bit until they finally manage to surpass the final hurdle of a brilliant RPG game that is perfect for VR headsets, especially the Meta Quest 2.

17 Oathbreakers

Meta Store Rating: 4.7/5

Oathbreakers is an Early Access game that has already shown a ton of promise, with this multiplayer RPG allowing players to interact with others in the immersive medium of virtual reality. Suffice it to say, this opens the door to a ton of possibilities as players engage in combat with others in real-time action-heavy battles that can be pretty breakneck and fast-paced indeed.

The sheer amount of experimentation that players can enjoy when it comes to the playstyles they can adopt in this game is quite immense, and it's only a matter of time before the full release of Oathbreakers ends up being highly alluring for most VR gamers. Hopefully, the developers can live up to this initial promise and incorporate player feedback in a meaningful manner.

16 Witchblood

Meta Store Rating: 4.5/5

The idea of a Metroidvania VR game sounds too good to be true, but that's precisely what Witchblood aims to accomplish. The immersive gaming, coupled with a wealth of powerups and abilities, makes Witchblood a fun game, even if players can't exactly check it out from a viewpoint most people would expect.

Instead, Witchblood uses a traditional side-scrolling viewpoint, although the allure of playing the game in VR is still pretty strong in its own right. Fans of unique and immersive gaming experiences will love what Witchblood brings to the table, even if the actual Metroidvania action may not be anything special or innovative.

15 Asgard's Wrath

Meta Store Rating: 4.4/5

Norse mythology has become a hotbed of content for players to explore unique fantasy worlds that are full to the brim with deep lore, engaging characters, and everything else along the same lines. Such players will gain a ton of mileage from Asgard's Wrath, with this VR title being full to the brim with incredible combat and a detailed world that is a joy to experience through the medium of VR.

Outright becoming a Norse God who can lay waste to their enemies makes for a cathartic experience that fans will have a great time with. Asgard's Wrath is a great game mainly because of its immersive combat, and fans will have a great time combining the effects of weapons and abilities to see just how creative they can be while taking out enemies.

14 The Morrigan

Meta Store Rating: 4.4/5

First-person combat has become huge in VR, with players loving the idea of wielding weapons using their actual hands to take out enemies. It's a simple yet great way to immerse players in a game, and many titles have done a great job of incorporating such gameplay... Including a little-known game known as The Morrigan.

Players can try out a wealth of weapons to take out their enemies, with combat feeling pretty engaging as players react to the strikes of their enemies and try their hardest to take out all foes without accumulating too much damage. It's a simple yet challenging gameplay loop that makes The Morrigan a pretty satisfying game to play, and fans of simple VR RPGs on the Meta Quest 2 will love what this game brings to the table.

13 Chronos

Meta Store Rating: 4.4/5

Gunfire Games is mainly known for the stellar work it did on Remnant: Before the Ashes. However, the company has also dabbled in VR gaming as well, with Chronos being one of its more unique offerings.

The game is a third-person action title but is elevated with the inclusion of VR, despite the gameplay not being anything unusual. Players have to infiltrate a dungeon and beat a dragon, with every defeat skipping time by a year and aging the controlled character.

12 The Mage's Tale

Meta Store Rating: 4.2/5

While VR gaming may be great, an issue that some people have with most titles in this medium is the length of these games. For most people, most titles end up being engaging, only for the game to end just when things are getting good.

The Mage's Tale doesn't suffer from this issue at all, going on for many hours and allowing players to use spellcasting in a way unlike anything ever seen before. The fact that this game is tied to The Bard's Tale series is perfect for fans of these ARPGs, too!
