About The Vagrant
The Vagrant invites players into Mythrilia, a hand‑painted fantasy world where Vivian the Vagrant seeks her lost father’s research. The 2D action RPG blends a narrative about bloodline secrets with fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash combat across coastal villages, mysterious forests, and ruined battlegrounds.
Combat focuses on combo chains, charge attacks, and special skills that can be enhanced through equipment, enchantments, and a large‑scaled skill set. Players can tailor Vivian’s build, tackle ten‑plus bosses, and explore multiple endings while enjoying a score by Gabe Castro.
