Vagrus: The Riven Realms just received a new DLC. At the Heart of Ruin brings with it a slew of additions to the base game, including new story content and a whole new region to explore.
- A fresh, dangerous region unfettered from Imperial dominance and brimming with peril
- A dark narrative adventure with several overarching stories as well as shorter adventures
- Deep quests with multiple outcomes and a plethora of personalities
- Many new opportunities and challenges for traders, mercenaries, and explorers
- A host of new enemies, be they crazed scavengers or creatures cursed beyond recognition
- A large cast of NPCs, some new and some old, who can be a part of your story
- New minor factions the likes of which few vagri have ever had the chance to befriend or fight against
- New obstacles, rewards, lore, and more of our signature visual art
The base game itself came out in 2021 by Lost Pilgrims Studio, a bunch of dudes who adapted their 20 year old homebrew D&D campaign into video game format. Vagrus is a game like The Banner Saga, which puts you in charge of a caravan, that has to travel through a dangerous world full of bad guys to beat up, treasure to find and regions to explore. What sets it apart from The Banner Saga, is the fact that Vagrus puts much more emphasis on the actual management aspect of the caravan, as well as the combat. Vagrus is also very story heavy though, and there are a lot of named characters you can recruit, talk to and interact with. Also, there is ton of text to read from events that happen along your adventures.
