About The Vagabond Emperor

"The Vagabond Emperor" is a 2D RPG where you begin as a simple vagabond who decides to become an emperor in the fictional Middle Ages during a spreading curse. It's up to you to decide what to do and where to go to achieve your goals.
  • Build relationships with other people, fight the enemies in arcade or turn-based combat
  • Create factories, towns and kingdoms. Travel and make decisions.
  • Hire warriors and buy titles.
  • Create a family, continue to play as an heir after your character dies.
  • Install artificial limbs, explore dungeons, find valuable artifacts and treasures.
For example, playing as the king's son, raise an army, kill him, and receive the royal title by right of succession.
Or seduce wife of another king. Continue the game for the child born and get the crown after unsuspecting ruler.
You can get a job and earn a certain amount of money, then build a factory, get an income, and buy a title.
Then build your own city, declare yourself king, and go to capture other towns.
As an alternative, engage in begging, use the money to install artificial limbs, and go to seduce the queen in this guise.
Take part in battles and win personally by fighting in the front lines. Swords, axes, bows, pistols, and arquebuses are yours for the taking. Recruit fighters for your side and troops for your home and town garrisons. Gain rich spoils of war and lord your will over the vanquished.

  • Towns and Kingdoms


    Open a factory and produce goods. Build a new town and collect taxes from other characters. Create your kingdom and compete with other rulers for world domination.

  • Relationships


    Enemies will try to get to you or your family. Friends will support you in a difficult situation. Build relationships with characters however you like. Execute, torture, show mercy, trade, insult and, of course, wiggle your eyebrows.

  • Dynasty


    Create a unique character in the built-in editor. Find a loving partner and create your own family. Children will take on the traits and characteristics of their parents. After the death of the main character, the game will continue for the heir.

  • Artificial Limbs


    Wooden arms and steel jaws are commonplace in this world. Replace body parts with artificial ones to become stronger.

  • World


    A completely open world and freedom of action. There is a terrible curse hanging over the world - Tlen. You are not limited in the ways of achieving your goals. Every journey is unique. Embark on adventures full of battles, dangers, plots, and chance encounters.

    Perilous dungeons, dark caves and hidden lairs are located all over the world. Deadly traps, fearsome enemies and rare treasures await you.

✦ AI summary

The Vagabond Emperor is a strategy game with a well-laid-out storyline and player-driven progression that can appeal even to those who typically avoid the genre. While some players praise its engaging gameplay and potential, the game is hampered by significant concerns: it remains in Early Access and the developer's passing has left its future development in serious doubt, making it a risky purchase for those expecting continued updates and completion.
