Best Roblox RPGs
Here are my picks for the best Roblox RPGs on the platform right now! I update this feature weekly with new RPGs that have skyrocketed in popularity in recent times or old favourites that are a staple for all RPG fans. Make sure to bookmark this page so you can check back every week!
RPGs of the Week
Heroes: Online World
One of the most popular and well-known superhero games on Roblox, Heroes: Online World has been around for a while. You can be any hero you want, with a vast range of magical abilities in your arsenal. Characters are unlockable, as well as skins, so there’s always something new to work towards.
The best part is that you can choose to be a hero or a villain. Very much on brand with The Boys, I must say! There’s PvP, so if that’s not your favourite form of combat, maybe avoid this one. If you like Marvel, or you like the idea of being superhuman, it’s time to take over the world of heroes.
New Journey
Sorry guys, but I’m going with another PvP game again! Like the entry above, you can be a hero or villain, it’s entirely up to you. The in-game world is surprisingly immersive, and the addition of different franchises means the game appeals to a whole bunch of players.
From comic book characters to the cast from Hunger Games, you can be whoever you want in New Journey – hence the name! It’s a game that lets you play as your favourite characters from popular franchises, without the massive price tag.
Project Baki 3
On the other side of fandoms, Project Baki 3 is a beloved anime RPG on Roblox, with a sprinkle of superheroes too. It features a variety of different franchises from Bleach to Jujutsu Kaisen. But, the reason why I’ve put it in the feature this week, is because of the ‘The Boys’ update! I feel like it ties in nicely with the superhero themes.
For the event, the ‘superheroes’ (though, the term ‘villains’ is more suited to them) are available to play as, with the addition of Billy Butcher too! The abilities of a multitude of characters are at your disposal, making it easier than ever to place yourself in the collaborative fictional world of Project Baki 3.
RPGs You Need to Play
Derelict
Aside from the horror games on Roblox, I think Derelict may be one of the best games I’ve played on the platform in general. It’s directly inspired by Dark Souls, with a hint of Elden Ring too. The voice acting is surprisingly good, the background music is atmospheric, and the core Soulslike mechanics are all there! If you like Soulslike games but want something new to play, Derelict is a great place to start.
Firstly, you have the Bonsai resting points that act like the Sites of Grace in Elden Ring and the bonfires in Dark Souls. The enemies are challenging, motivating you to keep your armor and weapons up to scratch. You have to forage, mine, and take part in smithing to improve a range of stats.
Plus, the world itself within Derelict is stunning. The ambient lighting, the dark shadows, the mist of the forest… I could go on for ages about this game. But instead of doing that, I’ll let you go and play it!
Voxlblade
A true fantasy RPG, and a quirky one at that. Firstly, you can pick your character’s race, from a human, orc, elf, or even a dragon (there are more options too!). While it’s Roblox and everything is usually… uh, blocky, Voxlblade cranks it up a notch. There’s even some humour thrown in too! It’s an all-around fun experience that presents a colourful world, lots of elemental weapons to craft, and a great soundtrack to boot.
Balanced Craftwars Overhaul
Probably one of the weirder RPGs I’ve played on Roblox, Balanced Craftwars introduces you to the game via a simple tutorial where you have to defeat 10 enemies and 1 boss. There are a few different classes to choose from when you first make it to the island. I went with Mage, but I was tempted by Ranger! Though I’m quite curious what the Gambler class is like.
While there’s PvP, you can avoid it by disabling it on the left of your screen. The main point of the game is to collect resources and craft new weapons. With greater weapons, you can take on the more difficult bosses. It sort of plays like an MMO, and when beating a boss fight plays the same sound from FF14 dungeons/raids/trials, it’s definitely an interesting experience!
Rogue Lineage
Rogue Lineage is a bit like Arcane Lineage and a bit like Deepwoken. If you enjoy either of those games, then this one’s worth a shot! It’s a notoriously difficult RPG on the platform, combining roguelike gameplay with fantasy.
The game has permadeath, meaning your character is deleted after you die once. It’s a whole load of trial and error as you try to get further each time with a new character. As it’s an open-world game, you can play with friends, but make sure you don’t accidentally sabotage anyone’s playthrough!
After the Flash: Wintertide
Set in 2164, the world is no longer as we know it. After a nuclear war broke out in 2071, all has changed. You’re a resident of Sunrise Island in Ohio, and you’re known as a ‘wastelander’.
It’s got excellent character creation, that really goes into depth with the roleplaying elements. There’s an overarching post-apocalyptic story too, making it a fully-fledged game that’s more than just attack, loot, and repeat. The ATF series of games is a popular franchise on the platform, with Wintertide being the most recent version!
The Vampire Legacies 2
Ever watched The Vampire Diaries? This Roblox title takes the show and turns it into a whole game! It’s in Beta at the moment, so new content is being added over time, including the most recent update that includes none other than Silas. You really get to become part of the franchise with this one, and I love it.
You can meet all the characters you expect to see as you play as a vampire yourself. My favourite part is walking around Mystic Falls, which I must say, is incredibly well made. The developers have put a lot of detail into making sure the buildings and outdoor areas look exactly like those in the show.
World // Zero
World Zero is an open-world RPG adventure where you can choose your own class (as long as you’re at the respective level) and then customise your character! Complete quests, blast through dungeons and explore 10 different maps. It mixes dungeon crawlers, MMOs, and JRPG elements to make a great free-to-play game!
Tackle fearsome bosses, defeat mobs, collect pets, and become the best adventurer around. Experiment with a variety of classes until you find the best one for you. But first, it’s time to increase your level! The combat is fun, and even the starter classes are entertaining (I picked Mage!).
Distant Isles
Okay, this one is a work in progress, but I want to highlight it anyway! It’s based on How to Train Your Dragon and it’s definitely nowhere near done. However, the base game right now looks stunning, with a Viking-inspired starter town. You can choose between playing as a human Viking or as a dragon, which I think is a pretty cool touch for an RPG!
The starting town is filled to the brim with wooden huts and various campsite requirements. There are different classes to choose from, each of which uses a range of elements. Plus, your character (Viking or dragon) is completely customisable when it comes to upgrades and builds!
Lee RPG
Lee RPG is another game that’s currently in development, but you can hop in to try it out! It combines fantasy RPGs with notable anime RPG elements, such as including Devil Fruits and a variety of fantasy-based weapons (all of which look pretty awesome with fancy glowing auras!)
It’s by no means an actual anime RPG title, but it certainly takes inspiration. You can equip multiple magic types, collect tons of weapons from chests, and obtain various traits to improve your character. These traits grant you super-strong buffs, so they’re a must! All in all, it’s a customisable RPG that allows you to experiment with different builds, giving you the chance to find the best playstyle for you.
Fabled Legacy
Fabled Legacy is one of the best-looking RPGs on Roblox. When starting, you get to choose between the Warrior class or the Mage class – I went with Mage! There are plenty more classes to unlock as you progress through. Plus, the armor you collect looks great, which is always a key motivator to play a game!
It’s a dungeon-crawler, with lots of different maps to explore as you make your way through mobs and bosses. However, the combat is similar to an MMO in its most simplest form. And by that, I mean that the enemies all have mechanics that involve AoE markers on the ground! It’s a common addition to most of these Roblox dungeon games, but I think Fabled Legacy is a great game to try out if you’re already a fan of this gameplay style.
Tales of Tanorio
Pokemon but on Roblox! It’s definitely its own thing, but you can’t help but see the similarities. Still, the Tanorios are all pretty unique, differing from the original Pokemon that we see in the series. It has voice acting, stunningly colourful environments, and adorable critters to collect.
New Tanorios are added with every update, and you’ve got a lovely story to play through along the way. It’s one of the better RPGs I’ve played on Roblox, and it’s a must for those who love Pokemon and want the nostalgia of the older games back.
Wings of Fire
Wings of Fire combines the original novels with fantasy gameplay, and I absolutely love it. There are two continents to explore in the game, named Pantala and Pyrrhia. There are multiple novels to experience, each of which has its own story and characters. And speaking of characters, they’re all dragons, even yourself!
If you’re a fan of the Wings of Fire book series, or you just like dragons, I highly recommend this fanmade game. Live as a variety of dragons as you play alongside other players, all the while enjoying a fantastical open-world adventure.
Vesteria
Vesteria is a cosy RPG on Roblox that takes you on an adventure through a variety of locations, including a charming forest! There are 4 starter classes to choose from: Adventurer, Mage, Warrior, and Hunter. Every class has a range of unlockable skills to use in combat, providing you with tons of character progression throughout.
With main quests and side quests to immerse yourself in, Vesteria is a must-try for all RPG fans. Plus, with it being on Roblox, it’s free! I do want to note that all classes apart from the Adventurer class do cost Robux, so keep that in mind. Join up with other players to loot dungeons and defeat enemies in the vast open world.
Prota Kingdom
Prota Kingdom is your standard RPG on the platform! I don’t mean that in a bad way though, it’s just a great example of what you’d expect from the genre on Roblox. Colourful in nature, with addictive combat, the Kingdom is yours to explore.
With various enemies to defeat, plenty of quests to pick up, and an actual map to open (unheard of in Roblox games these days!), you’ve got a bountiful and relaxing journey ahead. There are lots of armor pieces to collect and equip to Increase your strength and your style!
Creatures of Sonaria
In Creatures of Sonaria, you don’t play as your avatar! Instead, you’re a mythical hatchling that grows into a large and powerful creature. Soar through the skies or swim through the ocean, it all depends on which creature you want to be!
When you start the game, you can choose between a Sochuri, Kaluaka, and a Saukuryn. All of which excel in a certain field, whether it be healing, using fire, or being extremely agile. You can even customise your creature! Creatures of Sonaria takes the best bits of RPGs, but instead of being a brave warrior, you’re a fantastical beast.
Block Tales
Where do I start with Block Tales? I can’t quite describe how much I appreciate a game like this on the platform. I’m always blown away by Roblox games that push the boat out when it comes to the visuals. Block Tales doesn’t look like your average Roblox RPG. It’s an open-world, sort of side-scrolling adventure, featuring nostalgic graphics and animations.
As stated in the game’s description, it takes inspiration from Earthbound (a classic) and Paper Mario. It sometimes feels like you’re playing a game on an arcade machine, with turn-based battles, intuitive UI, and a variety of locations to explore. You can also play it with friends! It’s early in development, but it’s already one of my favourite games on Roblox.
Elemental Dungeons
A perfect dungeon crawler! The combat is fluid, the gear upgrades are rewarding, and it’s an all-around satisfying gaming experience. You can wield elemental powers alongside your weapons to slice through enemy mobs as you make your way to the boss.
Completing a dungeon rewards you with exclusive loot (including weapons and armor), giving you a significant stat upgrade as you head into the next dungeon. There are also quests to work through, providing you with gems, which then unlock more powers for you!
Arcane Odyssey
Arcane Odyssey is a historic RPG that takes you along on a journey to become a true warrior. With kingdoms at war, it’s up to you to wield your blade (or magic) as you build your own ‘kingdom’. Yep, you can build your own castles, claim islands, and take to the seas in search of mysterious artifacts! It’s an immersive RPG, that truly takes you to another world.
Dungeon Quest
Similarly to Elemental Dungeons, Dungeon Quest is an addictively fun dungeon crawler. The graphics look great, with immersive dungeons that feature lighting, shadows, and small details. Plus, the armor looks cool.
The game has a certain artistic style to it, with avatars and gear looking almost cartoon-like. It’s hard to explain without seeing it for yourself in-game, but I think it looks really effective! I’m also a big fan of the boss mechanics, with AoE attacks being displayed on the ground, forcing you to practice your timed dodges.
Arcane Lineage
Quite possibly one of the most in-depth RPGs I’ve seen on the platform, Arcane Lineage has been a favourite of mine since its release. For new players, it’s got tons of content to play through, with a wide range of classes to choose from.
The world within the game is immersive, with multiple subclasses to level, as well as plenty of rare loot to collect. There’s a true sense of progression as you explore the various environments with different terrains, weather conditions, and mobs. To top it all off, it’s a challenging game! The turn-based combat is engaging, and there’s even a higher difficulty mode to try out.
Deepwoken
If you’re into RPGs and you’re a fan of Roblox, you’ve probably seen this one floating around the Discover page. It’s a paid-for game, but it’s worth it. It’s a fully-fledged RPG that works perfectly on the platform, and it’s a must for those who like a game with dark vibes.
The world around you is being destroyed bit by bit, but you can save it. All you need to do is become the most powerful being around… and survive the creatures that hide in the shadows.
Swordburst 3
Yes, I’m putting a Sword Art Online-inspired RPG on this list. Personally, my time in Swordburst 3 is some of the most fun I’ve had on Roblox in recent times. I was instantly invested in the progression system, with easy-to-find quests and fair mobs.
Completing said quests unlocks brand-new areas to walk around, with a fresh set of mobs to defeat. The armor and weapons also look pretty cool, so it makes the typical RPG grind worth it! Plus, each floor in Swordburst 3 looks stunning, with gorgeous lighting, great enemy models, and charming mounts.
Shadovia
I really enjoy the Roblox games that look like they’re made out of Lego, which is probably why I like Shadovia so much. The open world is absolutely massive, and there’s genuinely so much to do within the game.
As you’d expect in an RPG, there’s a crafting system, deep dungeons to explore, and a bunch of quests to complete. The environments are charming with cosy buildings, trodden pathways, and expansive terrains. The combat never gets dull, especially when you wield upgraded weapons and abilities against bosses!
Pilgrammed
Pilgrammed is your typical RPG… in a good way! It’s one of the most well-known RPGs on the platform, with a fluctuating player base that keeps coming back for more. The world may look simplistic, but it’s hard to not get immersed in the misty, dark areas, such as the dingy caverns. You can craft new weapons and armor sets, including guns. Not only can you wield sharp swords, but you can run around with a pistol.
