Ah, roguelikes. A genre that has defined an age, and Vagante is one that applies the pixelated platformer to the genre. For fans of roguelikes, it is without question that I inform you that Vagante is a tough one. You will die a lot. You will find a lot. You will swear a lot. And that's okay! Check out Jason Capp's review for more.

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."
