    Obviously inspired by Vanillaware’s games such as Dragon’s Crown, The Vagrant’s graphics are impressive, and the game comes with a ton of replay value, making it well worth your money. However, while its game mechanics are interesting, The Vagrant struggles in finding its own identity.

    The Vagrant is by no means a perfect 2D hack 'n' slashing action-adventure/RPG-lite. There are far better alternatives out there - alternatives that are much more challenging than this walk in the park, by the way. It's still a very solid game, however. One that, while repetitive, and definitely not brimming with content, still manages to remain enjoyable for the eight hours it will last, with a pretty interesting plot keeping you company, even if the writing, pacing, and presentation is rough around the edges. In the end, The Vagrant's biggest strength is that it's a Vanillaware-esque game on a budget, so fans of Kamitani's work should play this super-cheap indie right away.

    So I bought this game some months ago and have been playing it once and then, but today I played 5 hours straight and the game is decentSo I bought this game some months ago and have been playing it once and then, but today I played 5 hours straight and the game is decent enough. I bought it because one of my favorite youtubers Mediaglitch recommended it in a video. So this game is a Metroidvania and it reminds me a lot of Dust: An Elysian Tail, anyway it's a really nice game although it's missing something not sure what. I scored it 8/10 though, not the greatest but not bad at all.… Full Review »
