Drakheir is a virtual reality RPG-adventure developed by Shambala, released in 2023 for Meta Quest 2. Set in a world thrown into turmoil by the emergence of a malevolent dragon, the game casts the player as a hero tasked with restoring order. A central mechanic involves hand-tracking rather than traditional controllers — players channel and direct magic directly through their fingertips, making physical gestures a core part of combat and spellcasting. Across a series of enchanted environments, players develop magical abilities, face a range of enemies, and work through numerous challenges tied to the overarching quest to save the world. The combination of immersive VR hardware, hand-based interaction, and a classic high-fantasy premise positions Drakheir as an accessible entry point into gesture-driven spellcasting gameplay within the Meta Quest 2 library.
