Vendir: Plague of Lies is a gritty, party-based RPG that pays homage to the golden era of isometric classics. Set in a dark, decaying kingdom ruled by the tyrannical King Elrik, the game plunges players into a world where hope is a luxury and every choice carries a heavy price. It captures the “old-school” spirit through its deep narrative, complex character customization, and a world map that rewards exploration with both hidden treasures and deadly encounters.
The gameplay revolves around strategic, turn-based combat that demands a tactical mindset. You won’t just be spamming attacks; you’ll need to manage your party’s positioning and ability synergies to survive. The writing is a standout feature, offering a mature, often cynical story filled with moral ambiguity and black humor. Whether you are navigating the plague-ridden streets or the treacherous wilderness, Vendir feels like a tabletop campaign brought to life on Windows, emphasizing the “Role-Playing” in RPG. It’s a somber, challenging experience for those who miss the unforgiving depth of traditional western role-playing games.
