Looks like an imitator of a Vanillaware Game Danjin44 Danjin44 is not going to like this:messenger_mr_smith_who_are_you_going_to_call:

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Game's just called "The Vagrant" on PC which got me kinda confused. Tried it for a bit and it seems okay, game's a bit short but has a lot of positive user reviews on Steam.

The art of some characters and enemies are weird. The animation in general didn't look like much consistant to me.

Release date trailer without release date in it. Looks promising, but yeah, it's almost shameless clone of vanillaware stuff.

This looks pretty good. It released a couple of months ago for PS4/Xbox/Switch. Did a little research and it's been on Steam since 2018. Switch version runs at 30 FPS. Would've been nice to have it on handheld.

So it was Launch trailer, not a release date trailer lol.
Steam reviews looks decent, but it's only 60 on OC with a measly 4 reviews.

I was tempted to grab this for Xbox as it was literally only £8 at launch, anyone played this?

Any good?

Yeah its pretty good. Not as direct an imitator to Dragon's Crown as it has more story and thus the flow is a bit different. The animation is also not as smooth or fluid as Vanillaware but its still a great effort. I hope a sequel adds more to the mix, like other characters and a bigger adventure. Got it on Xbox, but the PS/Switch versions are to offer physical later on if I recall.
