Embark on a perilous journey across a realm forsaken by the gods and devastated by an arcane cataclysm. Accompanied by a hardy crew, you must trade, fight, and explore your way to success as the leader of a traveling company in Vagrus, an award-winning turn-based post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG.

Vagrus - The Riven Realms is an award-winning roleplaying game that meshes an immersive narrative with open-world exploration, backed by compelling strategy elements. Players take up the mantle of a ‘vagrus’ or caravan leader, aiming to survive and thrive in a dark fantasy world fraught with danger and mystical anomalies.

An expansive in-game realm awaits explorers, brimming with diverse locations, quirky factions, and a plethora of unique characters. The tale is set a thousand years after the Elder Gods’ cataclysmic revolt against the Empire, which has left the continent desolate and populated with monstrous beings and roaming undead.

The core gameplay hinges on engaging, turn-based tactical combat, as well as resource management of supplies, morale, and crew vigor. Players will need to optimize their crew carefully, drawn from workers, fighters, scouts, and slaves, to enhance their effectiveness and maximize success.

The game features a melting pot of companion characters with unique combat skills, background stories, and personal quests. These companions can be assigned diverse roles in the player’s caravan, like guard captain, treasure hunter, or beast handler.

Vagrus also includes optional alignment with powerful factions, each offering exclusive rewards and benefits for loyalty. However, players should tread carefully, as aligning with one group may lead to conflicts with others.

Marked by approximately 3-5 hours of playable content, the game has a free prologue available on Steam. This includes a standalone story, ‘Pilgrims of the Wasteland’, serving both as a tutorial and a prelude to the main campaign, which allows for initial character creation and the first twenty-five gaming turns.

Vagrus - The Riven Realms comes with a disclaimer of its elevated difficulty level and encourages prospective players to try the free prologue before purchase. This game offers a rich blend of narrative-driven RPG, open-world exploration, and robust strategic elements, set in an atmospheric, post-apocalyptic fantasy realm.
