I feel like it would feel more rewarding and special to grow stronger for killing a boss. My suggestion At the very least make the requirement be to kill the boss, since you don't really need boss chests except for potions (very optional), unless you want to trade weapons with Chaos Cauldron in hopes of getting a book, scroll, or portion. You don't even need to kill the boss to get the stat up. You're guaranteed to get +10 health every bonfire. You can complete the first three levels and just straight up get a +1 in all stats, then start equipping things, but it snowballs so hard and so early that there's not much stopping you when a lot of enemies by the catacombs can have their skeleton removed with a zap or a slap.Īm I missing something here? Why would I ever pick +2 in any base stat, or especially negative stats when I can get a +1-3 in every stat per floor. Finishing the first floor without equipping anything (besides what you start with) is already better than virtually any upgrade, if you can withstand not having utilities like boulder protection, spike protection, double jump etc. That's increased crit, dodge, chance to find better items(useful later, IF you wanted to pursue it), health, damage of any type, and attack/cast speed. Getting a +1 to +3 in all five base stats just for completing a level is insane. So, a lot of starting stats for the game feel like they can't compare to Ascetic. This does not prevent using items such as scrolls, tomes, food, or potions.īreaking the vow at any point, by equipping any item, reduces your gained stats by half, but by the time you might consider equipping items (such as spike protection to do the catacombs without clenching your butt hole), you've gained an insane amount of base stats that breaking the vow won't matter. The Ascetic background requires you to reach the next bonfire without ever equipping any items beyond what you start with, and as a reward you gain a permanent +1 to 3 in all five base stats (strength, dexterity, vitality, intelligence, luck). As Vagante constantly regenerates its levels, there is no set pattern in the game for people to guide you through.(Explanation how Ascetic works, as a refresher)Īscetic is a starting background, unlocked simply by playing the game, as it is unlocked by the progression system of gaining experience when you complete a run, successful or not. As annoying and borderline hostile as this can be, it’ll be a real positive for experienced game players who are sick of everything being so easy or solved by looking up a walkthrough. There are dangers lurking everywhere, and the game is not going to be kind to you if it can help it. There is no certainty in Vagante, much like there would be no certainty when traversing a cave in real life. Or perhaps, a rock will fall from the ceiling and smash your head. If you drink a potion you find in a cave in Vagante, it could very well kill you. If you drink a random potion that you find lying around in a Zelda game, you know what you’re getting. The vast majority of games will have fixed plot devices or planned cut scenes etc, but Vagante often has you at its mercy. Not in the sense of graphics or even its plot, but in its mechanics. Vagante is one of the more realistic games I’ve played. 21 As someone who can barely plan their own life a month ahead, I hold a boundless wellspring of respect for indie developers who can churn away at a passion project for years on end without any firm promise of success at the end of it.The latest slow-cooked project to come out of the oven is Vagante, a. 4 years later, platformer roguelike Vagante launches.
