Vagante is a cute retro styled roguelike that came out in 2014 apparently. I never heard of it until a couple days ago randomly but the game is pretty impressive so far for being released almost 10 years ago now.

I googled it and apparently Shovel Knight and Binding of Isaac rebirth came out that same year so it is no wonder it didn't get more publicity.

I find that some roguelikes are better about making you feel like you're making progress while dying over and over and this one does a pretty good job in my opinion.

The pixel art is the biggest draw for me - and I think the art here is very nice overall.

Anyway, it is wild to me that this game is almost 10 years old and I never heard of it. We are at a point where Steam contains hidden gems like it's a classic console.

Also the game is mad cheap I got a key on g2a for like 2 dollars.
