Lost Pilgrims Studios announced that Vagrus – the Riven Realms is now available on consoles Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. This means that more players can now enjoy this niche blend of strategy and RPG.
The release to the consoles not only include the base game but all the existing free DLCs. Players can also buy all other existing and future DLCs separately. In celebration of this release, a new trailer has been released which can be viewed here.
Vagrus – the Riven Realms is described by its players as a complex, difficult, well-written, and lore-rich game. It offers a unique combination of genres and depth of content. Indeed, the game is seen as so hard that the studio warns that it is not something for those who are looking for a casual experience. In fact, they suggest that those interested in the game try the demo first before buying it.
New Horizons Patch
While console players can now enjoy the game, those on the PC can experience the changes made with Patch 1.200. There are all around performance improvements to the game. There are also additional enhancements to the save/load game menu points.
Players can also look forward to the significantly improved performance in long Companion Combat encounters. However, there are still issues like Camp UI becoming laggy. The studio is currently working on it.
There are also improved and updated features that include:
- Save file sizes have been reduced (and more reductions are on the way).
- Reworked the Extras Menu (from the Main Menu): you can now check DLCs and artwork, as well as play music directly from there (the latter two only if you own the appropriate DLC of course – Patronage Pack and OST, respectively).
- Removed some useless settings from the game options (for example, the ability to turn off tooltips).
- Removed the option of double clicking/tapping for map movement – it is now default for mouse & keyboard users and disabled for controller users.
- Deleted the obsolete, very old logs from local files, freeing up some (tiny) hard drive space.
