Vanguardian

Vanguardian is an action-adventure game with RPG elements. You play as the last Vanguardian, a child left behind after the Shadow Realm reportedly defeated the Vanguardian Council. With help from Gallehan and the Mage Council, you grow from a child into a Vanguardian and set out to confront the Shadow Realm.

The world and its people

The Shadow Realm has conquered towns and placed a boss in each one. While a town’s boss remains alive, its people are trapped there; you must defeat the boss to free them. Each boss calls for particular upgrades and tactics.

As you explore an expanding world, you can find hidden dungeons, secret rooms, puzzles and NPCs with their own quests. The game also includes dungeon raids and other puzzle elements.

Combat and equipment

The world contains an expanding variety of monsters, each with its own stats, movement patterns and attacks. You find skills, weapons, armor, boots and shields, with each piece of equipment providing its own effects and changing your appearance when equipped.

Equipment currently includes cloaks, weapons, shields and boots. Rather than giving gear progressively higher stats, each piece corresponds to your current stats and adds effects, such as spawning orbs or freezing enemies.

Convert monsters

You can use essence orbs to convert certain monsters to join you. Converted monsters each have their own stats and leveling system. The available monsters are:

• Basic Slime
• Advanced Slime
• Hyper Slime
• Basic Skeleton
• Advanced Skeleton
• Basic Goblin
• Sword Goblin
• Snow Golem
• Snowman
