Sword of the Vagrant is an upcoming 2D action RPG in which players guide protagonist Vivian, the titular Vagrant, as she journeys through mysterious forests, ruined castles and haunted battlefields in search of the truth behind her own mysterious heritage. It's coming to PS5 and PS4 at the end of the month, on 30th November.
Interestingly enough, Sword of the Vagrant was initially released for PC via Steam back in 2018 simply as The Vagrant. It currently enjoys an overall Very Positive rating across over 6,000 user reviews, which is no small feat.
With smooth, action-based combat combined with a gorgeous design aesthetic reminiscent of something like Dragon's Crown, and considering the asking price is just $10, Sword of the Vagrant looks like one adventure that might be worth undertaking.

Have had my eye on this. Will definitely be getting it.
I love some fantasy hack n slash, and anything with a vanillaware influence will always grab my attention.
Sold.
I have played this on Steam and it's excellent. Well worth the low price they are charging. Highly recommended!
Why do some Japanese developers have a weird obsession with Vagrancy? Sword of the Vagrant, Vagrant Story(no actual vagrants in this as far as I can tell), Lots of Yakuza games have vagrants playing a major part in the story, In Like a Dragon you even are a Vagrant.
Can't wait for this one! I love playing games with such protagonist! 30 November can't cume soon enough!
@Abarth_71 Well, I don't know if you can call that sexist. But unless they have a good narrative reason (which I highly doubt) it's definitely dumb, looks dumb, makes me think the developers are dumb (or just seriously need to bang at least) and ultimately hampers the immersion, especially when they want to tell a gritty, emotional story, which seems to be the case here. I don't think it should be a sole reason to dismiss the game, though.
Hope, I could help you.
@Abarth_71 I'm sorry but that is a strawman argument. Very few people object to sexy women. They object to it when it doesn't make narrative sense - for example, bikini armour.
And frankly, if you want to make this argument, then you also need to acknowledge that the biggest controversy regarding what women look like in recent memory was Abby from TLOU2 daring to have muscles.
@Abarth_71 Sarcasm does not travel well in text format. A simple emoji or a "lol" would have saved a lot of effort.
A beautiful 2D games means it's a day one for me. I though this is a new atlus game after dragon crown, the 2D graphics and style is so gorgeous 😃
And the steam user reviews are good too, nice.
@jrt87 Man I'm jealous of country that officially have steam deck, in Indonesia we have to import it and the price can be up to $1000 for the 512GB version.
I hope valve release the deck officially in here since the games are so cheap in my country steam store, like this game that's only about $2.17.
@jrt87 No, not really. Because he/she could be expressing... shock.
I've played through it on PC. If you enjoyed Muramasa Demon Blade you will probably like it.

Bikini top is a bold choice for armor. Maybe a sports bra at the very least? I'd think it would be distracting jumping around and having my face assaulted by my own body.
