Buy The Vagabond Emperor PC key

The Vagabond Emperor is a 2D RPG set in a fictional Middle Ages where a curse called Tlen is spreading. You begin as a vagabond and decide where to go and how to pursue your ambition of becoming an emperor. The open world lets you choose how to build relationships, earn money, fight, and gain titles.

The open world

Travel through a world of battles, dangers, plots and chance encounters. Dungeons, dark caves and hidden lairs hold deadly traps, dangerous enemies, rare artifacts and other treasures. You can take jobs, complete tasks, play musical instruments, trade your own body or beg to earn money.

Build towns and kingdoms

Open factories to produce goods, build towns and collect taxes from other characters. You can establish a kingdom and compete with other rulers for world domination. Titles bring more respect and the right to own factories and towns; each title also increases your army, inventory size and luck.

Relationships and dynasty

Build relationships as you choose: execute or torture characters, show mercy, trade, insult them or make friends. Enemies may target you or your family, while friends can help in difficult situations. You can create a character in the built-in editor, find a partner and raise a family; children inherit traits and characteristics from their parents. When your character dies, continue playing as an heir.

You can pursue power through family ties as well as conquest. For example, you might play as the king’s son, raise an army, kill him and claim the title through succession. You could also seduce another king’s wife and later continue as the child, seeking the crown after the ruler’s death.

Combat and equipment

Fight enemies in arcade or turn-based combat, and take part in battles personally from the front line. Use swords, axes, bows, pistols and arquebuses, recruit fighters to your side, and assign troops to garrisons in your home and towns. Victories bring spoils of war and let you impose your will on the defeated.

Wooden arms and steel jaws are commonplace. You can replace body parts with artificial limbs to become stronger, and explore dungeons in search of valuable artifacts and treasure. Another possible route to influence is to earn money through work, build a factory for income and use it to buy a title.
