Alpha Version 10 has just been released for Vagante, which is now available on Steam Early Access. This update includes plenty of bugfixes, balance changes, and added content in the form of The Catacombs act. In addition, a roadmap for future game development has been posted showing immediate and future goals for the game.

While it is nice to see a roguelike expand the feel of progression a bit more, it’s frustrating to put time and effort into that character to see them die easily. Vagante tries to do it’s best to bridge the gap and make levelling and progression fun while also maintaining the heart of a roguelike.

It looks nice enough, if a little like you are viewing things through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, and the setup is interesting. But the numb combat, instant death traps and lack of anything resembling tactics - even in the boss fights - marks it down."
