About Vagrus - The Riven Realms: Demo (Prologue)
Vagrus - The Riven Realms: Prologue is a Demo to Vagrus - The Riven Realms, an award-winning roleplaying game with a narrative focus, open-world exploration, and strong elements of strategy. The player takes the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and dangerous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures.
Vagrus offers great replayability and immersion with its two million words worth of narrative presented through its stories and lore.
This Demo showcases the beginning sections of the game - both from the more narrative-driven introductory part and from the open-world main campaign.
A vast realm is yours to explore, filled with unique locations, strange factions, and a colorful cast of characters. In order to punish the Empire for its sins, the Elder Gods unleashed their power a thousand years ago that ended up devastating the realms. The continent is now a wasteland, riddled with arcane anomalies, swarming with twisted monsters, and haunted by roaming undead even after long centuries of rebuilding.
A large selection of stories make up the game’s narrative in the form of events and quests. The choices you make in these often affect your companions and the world around you. Pick your background from trader, mercenary, or explorer; work for factions, follow rumors and trading opportunities; acquire wealth, gain fame, and discover hidden knowledge.
Engage in turn-based, tactical combat that involves your companions and a large variety of enemies, both humanoid and monstrous. Use a wide range of character skills as well as your own leadership-related abilities to succeed. Positioning and support skills are of paramount importance in these challenging engagements.
Journeys have to be planned and prepared for carefully, lest they end in disaster. Manage your supplies, morale, and your crew’s vigor effectively to survive. Haul cargo and valuables across the wasteland or take it from others. Your crew of workers, fighters, scouts, and slaves have to be managed well to optimize their effectiveness.
A wide variety of companions can work for you in versatile caravan roles, such as scoutmaster, guard captain, treasure hunter, or beast handler. Each companion comes with unique combat skills, background stories, and personal quest lines that can upgrade them further when you complete them.
Ally yourself with mighty factions that shape the Riven Realms with their influence on commerce, brutal wars, and constant scheming. From prosperous Trading Houses to criminal syndicates and religious organizations, these groups offer powerful rewards and boons to those loyal to their cause. But take heed - befriending a faction will more than likely antagonize others.

They should have done a straightforward tutorial, rather than the story... it was far too wordy as a tool for learning the game. Once I got into the game, it was rather... disappointing. Way too much RNG ruining the experience. If bad things happen, I want there to be a reason (and a way that I could have avoided it) rather than just an 'unlucky' roll of the die. However, I am grateful that I had an opportunity to try it.4 found this helpful
Игра 'Vagrus - The Riven Realms: Demo (Prologue)' представляет собой мрачное и атмосферное введение во вселенную, наполненную опасностями и моральными дилеммами. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в уникальной манере, сразу же цепляет взгляд, а проработанный мир вызывает неподдельный интерес. Игровой процесс, сочетающий элементы ролевой игры и менеджмента каравана, требует стратегического мышления и внимательного планирования. Каждый выбор имеет последствия, и ресурсы быстро иссякают, вынуждая принимать непростые решения. Боевая система, хотя и схематична, предлагает тактическую глубину и заставляет учитывать характеристики как союзников, так и врагов. Демо-версия охватывает лишь малую часть мира, но уже демонстрирует потенциал игры. Она оставляет после себя ощущение неизведанного и желание исследовать этот враждебный, но притягательный мир. Несмотря на высокую сложность и необходимость привыкания к игровым механикам, 'Vagrus' оставляет сильное впечатление и заставляет с нетерпением ждать полной версии. Это игра для тех, кто ценит глубину, атмосферу и готов к непростым вызовам.
This was a fun demo. Reminds me of a hybrid between an economy management and a "choose your own adventure" novel. It is a text story driven game with [i]A LOT[/i] of reading. If you like reading and good voice acting to go along with it, then you might like this. Wishlisted for the next major sale!
The game is a pretty hardcore fantasy caravan management sim + text adventure + RPG. Even in this demo tutorial I was wiped out once before I managed to complete it XD The game setting seems to be heavily inspired by the Dark Sun (DnD fantasy post-apocalypse) and well thought out. I've got lots of fun with this demo, respect to developers for rolling out this demo for players to try their game before buying. Highly recommended! P.S. Just one suggestion to devs. You guys should look for a writer from free-to-play/mobile games industry FOR TUTORIALS(!) I know you probably hate these games but there are no other people who are able to squeeze more information into tiny texts than these people. Just give it a try :P
Very nice! I always thought this game looked interesting, but was scared off when it said it was very punishing. Whereas it probably is in many cases, it's not impossible, even for a nub like me. I am generally not too fond of games that are too hard, so playing the demo I realized that if I take it slow and carefull, it is manegeable. :) So, good demo, hignly recommendable, made me feel like I want to buy the full game.
Enjoyable
