Dec. 2024

Over 200 hours on record. Yes, I recommend this game providing you are looking for an old school, pen and paper style choose your own adventure style caravan simulator. The type of caravan is a choice between the usual 3 for these types of games: Explorer, Merchant and Mercenary. The storylines and attached characters are interesting, they'd have to be for you to go so far to visit some of the worst places humanity can imagine and fight the horrors you find there. The stories are 99% of the time a book page that you choose your answers on. Yes, there are a lot of words in this. If you can't read well or don't want to, this game absolutely isn't for you. Combat is difficult to learn and more so to master, party combat and caravan combat both influence each other and both are punishing but once you start to feel out the tactics available to you and sus out the enemies you're fighting you can ensure you always come out ahead. The economy is simulated well enough but only impacted by your actions, sell to much of something you crash the price and it might take a week or month to recover. You can't affect what goods are produced by factions and try to influence the market that way. I'd like to see goods moved by NPC caravans affect the world to introduce reactive gameplay elements. Caravan management is in depth, managing your employees and... Uhh... freedomly challanged workers is interesting and has pros and cons to your employment style. Same goes for the types of beast of burden you use, all have pros and cons. There's gear and equipment to install that will affect how you cross the wastes too. I love this aspect of the game. There's no beating around the bush, this game is hard and you can find yourself in a tail spin, going down, before you've realised it and you're probably looking down the barrel of restarting the game or a soft restart where you make it to a town, downsize everything and get back on your feet with small contracts. Yes, I recommend this game, I recommend playing it on the default difficulty and once you've played a few hours I recommend playing on 1 save mode where you have to live with the consequences of your choices. This is a game about telling an interesting story, a story without conflict and strife isn't as interesting.

Dec. 2024

A game with deep immersive story, highly unbalanced character creation system, plenty of choices that shape your adventure, companions who are not blind followers but may disapprove and even left your service ... A world full with secrets waiting to be discovered, high roleplay value and these war lizards are cute indeed. I can roam its ways just for the next random event or to find another settlement. Be a dwarf, dark elf, orc or demon and discover everything by yourself. It is a journey that I don`t want to end. Total evaluation 9.6 from 10. I am waiting for the next DLC with great expectations. From such a game I could want only ... more, more and more of the same!

Oct. 2024

If you are not scared of reading and a punishing difficulty, Vagrus will reward with deeply unique and interesting world-building, story and gameplay. I love it!

Oct. 2024

I love this game! The stories are deep and often unexpected. There is a ton of writing in this game. I imagine you'd have to love reading to enjoy it. There are two modes of combat, both are fun and challenging, though not extremely deep... outcomes are usually fairly predictable. Learning the scouting system is, to me, a big key to success in this game but it's not explained well in game. The idea of being some sort of RPG trader, explorer, and mercenary is a cool concept to me, it's been fun to play. I hope for more dlc soon.

Aug. 2024

The game is absolutely punishing at times. You are required to take in the context of the game, the lore, and act accordingly. The game doesn't hold your hand in anyway. Do you have enough provisions to get to the next settlement that is 10 days away? What if it takes you 14 days? What if there aren't enough provisions there to re-supply for your onward journey? Why do you need so many men? If you have to slaughter some of your beasts of burden to feed your crew, how long will that last? Do you have the money to rebuild? These are all things a 'Vagrus' would seemingly have to grapple with all the time and the game expects you to adopt this mindset. You need to be thinking weeks in advance and you need to be resourceful. My 2 tips to anyone thinking about buying the game or currently struggling: 1. scouts, auto scouting and using scouts to gather resources are both very powerful. 2. don't try and trade yourself. The margins are often too low to make a profit after wages and supplies. Do cargo runs for the factions. This has added benefits of raising your reputation with the faction which can be useful later. My only criticisms of the game is that some of the key mechanics, such as scouting could be explained better in the tutorial. The combat is meh, and while I'd prefer combat like Total War or Age of Wonders, I'm willing to sacrifice that because the narrative is so good. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a challenge but also a game that you can really relax into after you conquer the learning curve.
