About This Game

Chronicles of Vaeltaja: In Search of the Great Wanderer takes you back to the golden era of pc gaming, when role-playing games such as Might and Magic, Wizardry and Ultima ruled the world. Experience the classic feel of adventuring and role-playing on a grid-based journey through the colourful kingdom of Twin Falls where sunny meadows, lush forests, misty swamps and dark dungeons full of treasures, secrets and dangerous enemies await exploration!


Gather a party of six adventurers from 11 character classes and choose their equipment from dozens of weapons, armor and trinkets. Improve your characters through classic 'stat and skill' system and teach them class specific skills to take down dangerous enemies in tactical turn-based battles. Follow the main questline to unravel the secret of the Great Wanderer and take on side-quests to earn experience, coins and better equipment.

I'm particularly enjoying this game for the nostalgic feel and because it doesn't hold your hand with quest markers and point you in the direction you need to go. You have to figure that stuff out and EXPLORE. There's no world map (though I was told this is coming...which I'm almost a bit sad about, despite missing it sometimes lol), no automapping - just a little minimap around you (and only above ground - in dungeons you don't even get that!). For some, this may seem horrible, but it actually really affects the game design in a good way and forces you to learn about the world and explore it. It's far more immersive than modern games and honestly, a lot more fun. If you like old-school games that really feel like old-school and not just punishing grind-fests, you'll enjoy this game. Like all old games, it's tough for the first couple of levels, but then things balance out as you get enough to gear up a bit and it becomes much more fun. Try it and give it a chance - I susp...

Really nails the retro feel but with modern QOL features that make it a lot smoother experience than trying to replay some of the classics. Inventory management feels a bit clunky but nothing too terrible. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

The puzzle element is tedious. I like Fantasy RPG, but I don't like to play puzzles.

Chronicles of Vaeltaja is a big grid-based RPG with well balanced, turn-based combat, a tightly organized class system, and a surprisingly large scope. It's really well done and deserves more attention. Recommended!
