    I’m genuinely sick of how combat is designed in games these days. Enemy double standards galore as they: have no hit stun, armor through attacks for days, infinite attack priority, damage sponges, and act like they’re playing an entirely different game! Because in a sense they are.

    Combat can be designed in a number of ways but all we ever see is the same try-hard suckfest, centralized around a dodge and/or parry system. It is old, tired and crusty game design that I never want to see again.    … Expand

    For the $9.99 price tag, Sword of the Vagrant gives you a lot of content, enough challenge, and a decent story to keep you wanting to get to the end. I just hope Vivian can eventually buy clothes in her travels, as running around in leather underwear seems drafty and embarrassing!

    The art style looks great and the game runs well in handheld mode, although it has the tendency to get a bit choppy when docked. We also ran into a few glitches over the course of the adventure, the most common causing Vivian to just slide across the screen while stuck in a crouch animation, and a soft lock later in the game in which the character would not stop walking right into a wall. By no means are these extreme and you would hope they'll be patched, but they got a bit frustrating over time. These issues aside, Sword of the Vagrant held our attention and, especially considering the modest asking price, is still worthy of light investigation if you're a fan of rough-and-ready hack-and-slashing.
