We love to support other titles, and there's few better than Vagrus: a turn-based, open-world, dark fantasy RPG. The game moves out of Early Access with well over a hundred hours of playable content. Vagrus and its haunting world were born from decades of tabletop RPG campaigns played by the founders of Lost Pilgrims, which adds vastly to the game’s unique atmosphere and the richness of its setting. [previewyoutube="a9YepcSLYEI;full"]
Vagrus is an award-winning roleplaying game with a narrative focus, open-world exploration, and strong elements of strategy. The player takes the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and dangerous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures.
Feature list
A DARK REALM A vast realm is yours to explore, filled with unique locations, strange factions, lurking dangers, and a slew of characters you can interact with.
BRANCHING NARRATIVE A large selection of longer and shorter stories make up the game’s narrative in the form of events and quests. The choices you make in these can significantly affect the characters and the world around you.
TURN-BASED COMBAT Take part in turn-based, tactical combat that involves your characters and a large variety of enemies, both humanoid and monstrous. Use a range of character skills and abilities to succeed. Fight against outlaws and monsters commanding your whole traveling company in pitched battles for resources.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Most journeys have to be planned and prepared for carefully, lest they end in disaster. Manage your supplies, cargo, and crew effectively to survive. Take on contracts and follow rumors or trade opportunities.
UNIQUE COMPANIONS A wide variety of companions can work for you in versatile caravan roles, such as scoutmaster, guard captain, treasure hunter, or beast handler. Each companion comes with unique combat skills, background stories, and personal quest lines that can upgrade them further when you complete them.
POWERFUL FACTIONS Ally yourself with mighty factions that shape the Riven Realms with their influence on commerce, brutal wars, and constant scheming. From prosperous Trading Houses to criminal syndicates and religious organizations, these groups offer powerful rewards and boons to those loyal to their cause. But take heed - befriending a faction will more than likely antagonize others.
Centurion Edition
A special Centurion Edition of Vagrus released alongside the full game. This special edition includes the base game, the original soundtrack, and the Patronage Pack at a special launch price during launch week. Those who already own the base game can also purchase the DLCs individually.
Try your hand at Vagrus to see if you can make profit while surviving in the wastelands!
For our ninth update after launching into Early Access, it's smaller than some of those previous, but it brings a little bit of roleplay to Black Geyser. For lovers of old-school RPGs players can now choose to walk or run with their characters!
Take a look below at the full update.
Characters can now walk as well instead of running (hold SHIFT while clicking with the mouse)
Keybind (default: SHIFT) can now be changed that gives a walking command to party members
Fixed some "Heal over time" effects not working on various spells and potions
