Set in a medieval fantasy world where monsters and magic are common concepts, Vendir puts you in the shoes of a lower class peasant, living a miserable life in a city ruled by a tyrannical king. Without much preamble on your origins or situation, a hasty chase involving some friends has you on the run from the law, and quickly exiled from the city. Outside, madness and misery are even more predominant, so you’ll have to find a way to survive, and eventually fulfill your manifest destiny.

The writing of both the main story and both main quests is on average level, at best, leaning to the mediocre side. This is partially due to the AI translation of all dialogues. Certain quests and NPC dialogues are legitimately fun or more nuanced, but in general nothing is remarkable enough to compose a hooking framework for story and characters. Your companions have little in the way of interaction and opinions, mostly following you as battle minions, but with no personal development and no dialogues about their personal predicaments.

Its medieval fantasy setting is grim and gritty: the concepts of misery and ruin are well-delivered by the bleak palettes and ruined state of the environment, people and locales you’ll visit. Most denizens are in pain, suffering or have some kind of trauma - just like in real life! And will ask you to aid them. Locations are distinct enough, but few are truly remarkable enough to stand out on their own - they all kind of blend in into the same mish-mash of decaying medieval countryside.

You’ll explore the world on foot, with optional fast travel at fixed carriages, or by using a consumable you can cheaply buy at vendors. Most places and persons of interest will be auto-marked on your map as you explore, however quest givers won’t be, same for certain interactions - keen-eyed explorers will be rewarded for their efforts. With its fixed isometric perspective, it won’t be hard to spot chests or other interactable items, such as resources to gather to then use in crafting. There are some secret interactions with unmarked NPCs and items, which can lead to interesting developments, but rarely to worthwhile rewards. The presence of many invisible walls make exploration feel more limiting and tracked than expected in a RPG. Exploring will also lead to random encounters with enemies, as customary for the genre.

Fights play out in a turn-based fashion, with each character having one action to use a single skill. You can freely choose who acts in which order, as there’s no turn queue. Your foes can do the same. The maximum fight size is 4v4, with some battles having multiple waves of enemies consequently. There’s a vast array of skills, attacks and moves to choose from, ranging from DoT to debuffs to support, other than the good old damaging ones, each with various elemental types your enemies might be resistant or weak to - or also be made weak to thanks to debuffs. The depth in combat is of a good level - the various class skills can be combined in clever ways to stack multiple effects and then use the right skill to deal devastating damage in a single strike, something that becomes almost mandatory to defeat tougher optional enemies. Enemy AI has a decent level of cooperation between one another, with support characters acting as they should to buff their DPS and tanks and keeping them alive, as expected.

Bosses are, usually, tougher versions of normal enemies that mostly don’t have any special move or unique conditions to their fights. Some do, but rarely. They’re tough and rewarding in terms of XP and item drops, however they could definitely have been more nuanced. Brutals, optional bosses found throughout the world, are by far the deadliest variant of them all, and not only the best equipment, but also respecs and tailored gear may be needed to defeat some of them.

Your whole party gains the same XP and levels at the same time. Gear doesn’t have stat requirements, but instead often gives stats so that your characters can have better scaling with their weapon and abilities. A vast branching skill tree allows specialization for you and your companions, in classes like the support-oriented Witch Doctor, the beefy Warrior and many more. Remember: you can always multi-class and take two branches to make a more flexible character, and if a build turns sour, you can always respect, although later on at a specific NPC. Equipment is color-coded by rarity, and unlike other RPGS, not quests nor enemies will be your main source of good gear - merchants are, so get to it and farm as much coin as possible from random encounters, don’t skip!

The game is good for a mobile port. It is a light CRPG with a grimdark setting and good amount of customization. The only downside for me was the lack of proper mouse movement.

Not big crpg like pathfinder or pillars of eternity but it has a lot of quests , items, big map, and good story
