    Not even Working Designs' loving attention to minite detail can hide the average-at-best strategy RPG elements of "Vanguard Bandits".

    It's well-done insofar as it does exactly what it's expected to do, and it scores points in a way for doing something hardly anyone else bothers with anymore, but I doubt anyone who doesn't happen to have an interest in the genre it occupies should have any interest in it at all.

    The game often shows its age, especially graphically, but never feels antique; what it lacks in visual style it makes up with charm.

    The colorful manual includes a Strategy Guide as well as comprehensive details on the combat, exploration, and role-playing aspects of Vanguard Bandits.

    Essentially, Vanguard Bandits is a series of battles linked via a fairly tedious story line. This could have been acceptable if the battles themselves were well implemented but sadly they’re not.

    Multiple endings, good strategy game requiring team support rather than omega power program, above average characters, and fun story.
