Vay

I love the original with all my heart, but I still can't decide if this is worse than that god-awful mobile version that came out like 15 years ago or not. The visuals are distorted and seem compressed, the colors are off, the audio is awful and out of sync, and the voices are terrible. I did at least find out you can turn off that awful dithering. You'll definitely want to play on hard mode to get a taste of how it was in the original version. Speaking of which, just download a Sega CD emulator and play the original version the way God intended. EDIT: Pretty sure "hard mode" only increases the encounter rate and doesn't change the balance to be more like the original. Shame.

I wish there was more Sega CD and Sega Saturn RPGs ported onto steam like this one..

Wasn't too long or challenging, but was a fun romp through a classic. Got exactly what I wanted from it!

I personally don't have a problem with this port and it's features. I think the publisher did an overall great job with the port, Vay itself is just not a great game even from it's time period. Like, the story has potential but that potential is never really explored. It's too focused on trying to leap to the next plot point rather than spending any time to breathe and let the characters really grow. This is crazy considering this game was originally a Sega CD title, and thus had more room to allow for character growth and team banter. There's actually some sort of ancient civilization that we never learn much about, and how the five wizards received the five orbs that you wind up having to collect. What are all these mecha technology things doing here? Why do the Danek have a castle dungeon they reside in that looks like something out of an H.R. Geiger painting? None of this is explored, we don't have time for that, hurry up and go kill the final big bad please! The game isn't even challenging either. I hate that you are given a decent variety of equipment but none of that really matters when it typically boils down to, "wear the thing with the most stats." Weirdly enough, you c…

I finished this game and here are my thoughts about this one I've never finished the Sega CD version however after seeing that this is on Steam wanted to give it a try. A lot of the dialogue translations are different from the Sega CD version, a lot of them are either actually funny or cringe. The music is still pretty good and once you realize that you can turn up money drops in the settings menu, it helps for later on item & gear purchases. It's also an extremely short game with not that much romance even though it feels like there should have been something.

Great game great Port I recomend it for any RETRO RPG fan
