Skip it if you…

- Players who prefer a fixed cast may not enjoy selecting comrades from a recruit pool and managing individual characters
- Players looking for a short, self-contained scenario may not want a campaign spanning many chapters
Our take on Fight Life: Vanguard
The bounce point comes when battles require turn-based decisions involving squad maneuvers and assaults. Players who do not want to select recruits or manage character upgrades may hit a wall before the campaign’s larger transformation from inexperienced fighters to seasoned warriors becomes relevant.
What is Fight Life: Vanguard?
Lead a mercenary squad through a war-torn world threatened by darkness.
Select comrades from a diverse pool of recruits and direct them in tactical, turn-based encounters involving maneuvers and assaults. Manage and upgrade each character as the squad faces perilous landscapes and a seemingly overwhelming crisis. The campaign follows a forgotten god whose energy is fading after a human apprentice betrayed him and sought divine power by sacrificing his master. Across many chapters, green recruits can become seasoned warriors and later legendary heroes. Squad selection, character development, and tactical decisions shape the campaign as the group attempts to defend humanity and restore harmony.
