FEEDBACK FROM PLAYERS AND CONTENT CREATORS
Almost unlimited replayability. I managed to put over 1000 hours into this game because it keeps putting me in unique scenarios even though the level generation variety isn’t that great. Not only are there many combinations, the gear is so random that you’ll get very different stats and perks to use at various points in the game.” – Max9999
“I highly recommend it. Vagante belongs in the collection of any independent gamer worth their salt. This game will be very fun for you. Also, it’s very difficult.” – Splattercat
“It has the depth and challenge of Binding of Isaac with the satisfaction and fun of Spelunky” – Game Taco
“One of the toughest and most unforgiving games, but incredibly rewarding, dynamic and innovative. I played it mostly co-op with my partner and it gave us hundreds of hours of fun.” – Dr Harmful
