The Vagrant

It gets frustrating and grindy sometimes. But it is still fun. :3 The metriodvania elements are minimal. You won't be backtracking much. Recommended.

67p. thats insane. i dont normally like metroidvania types of games but this is great. controls feels good and responsive. characters are interesting. great art style. enjoying the level design, there is a map which is helpful. normally i get lost in these games.

I bought this game on sale for 0.79 cents. The end.

A nice little hack and slash reminding me of Muramasa The demon blade...a very light game but entertaining and not too hard, I find it very playable on the keyboard, i like it.

The Vagrant is an action-platformer with beautiful hand-drawn art and a simple story of revenge. It plays quite well, combat is responsive and decently varied with a mostly reasonable difficulty curve. It’s lacking in unique mechanics, admittedly, but I think that’s fine. Nothing wrong with a well understood and liked system done properly. Essentially a Steam port of a "best value" Vanillaware action title. Specifically it’s closest to either Oden Sphere or Muramasa. Like those games it presents a gorgeous visual style with instantly readable characters, monsters and locations. It’s not overlong, and has extra challenges for those who feel they want more than a main playthrough provides. Given how cheap it is it’s difficult not to recommend.

The game was good, abilities and fighting were fun but flawed because you cant attack upwards, causing you to have to reposition yourself to hit enemies, making it more of a nuisance is the movement system not being very polished, with it being slow and clunky, found myself doing the side attack to move everywhere like link rolling/side dashing haha. But I did enjoy the heck out of it and took the time to get the alt endings. If u like side scrollers give it a shot
