There’s no strong narrative, and instead Vagrus: The Riven Realms seems to want you to write your own story in its savage land. When you first start, you’ll need to create a character from a variety of elements that will send small ripples through the game. It’s a dangerous business, and Vagrus: The Riven Realms likes to remind you of that often. Caravans are necessary for transporting goods and VIPs across these wastes, but beasts and bandits and demons roam the wilds. Previously modelled on ancient Rome, the remnants of Vagrus’ world are decaying temples, rotten gardens, shattered amphitheatres and endless wastelands. In the aftermath, a cadre of dark otherworldly entities slipped through the tears in reality to visit evil and death upon what was left of the world. In this desolate world, all lay in ruins after the gods decided they’d had enough of people being shit and had a good old fashioned Apocalypse. Your role is that of a Vagri, the captain of a caravan (called a comitatus in-game). Vagrus: The Riven Realms falls into the latter category, and it’s only because it somehow remains compelling that it gets away with it. They really on either dialled-up numbers or, worse, the dreaded random number generator – which is then deliberately skewed against you. Other games, though, are just hard for the sake of it.

You’ll only overcome them either by getting good, or learning how to use what the game gives you to build the right kind of character. The good ones are designed in such a way that they are universally difficult. Soulsborne games, or (shudder) masocore games, pride themselves on it and that’s okay. At a certain point being a brutal challenge became a bizarre badge of honour for some games.
Vagrus: The Riven Realms seems to pride itself on being tough, and I’m not sure it’s a good thing.
