Our take on Memories of a Vagabond
The bounce point comes at character death: instead of restarting from a conventional game-over screen, the hero enters the underworld and must continue through a new body and class. Players who prefer fixed character identities may find that transition hard to accept.
What is Memories of a Vagabond?
This turn-based RPG follows a young mercenary seeking revenge for a fiancée and her family while traveling from soul to soul.
