Vendir: Plague of Lies

Vendir: Plague of Lies is a classic RPG game inspired by the greats of the genre. The game was developed by the Swedish team Early Morning Studio from Stockholm, which has in its portfolio the genre-related game Vampire’s Fall: Origins.

Plot

The action of Vendir: Plague of Lies takes place in the titular fantasy land. The kingdom is ruled with an iron fist by King Elrik, who does not tolerate opposition or criticism. However, not everything is lost for the inhabitants living in constant fear of the cruel ruler, as the prophecy foretells the rise of heroes who will put an end to their misery.

One day, the brave siblings decide to set off on a dangerous journey to try to face Elrik. It is up to us whether their actions will fulfill the destiny, and the inhabitants of Vendir will finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Mechanics

In Vendir: Plague of Lies we watch the action in an isometric view. The adventure, which we start by creating a character, leads us through various, albeit equally gloomy locations - from outdoor settings, through cities and settlements, ending in dungeons.

While traversing them, we get to know their inhabitants and engage in conversations with them (during which we often have to make decisions that affect the further course of the story), as well as carry out various main and side quests.

Companions can join us along the way, who have been diversified in terms of the classes they represent and the skills they possess. The professions available in the game include warrior, thief, mage and necromancer, and new abilities are unlocked as individual heroes develop. Additionally, we can increase the combat potential of the characters through increasingly better equipment.

We regularly have to reach for our weapon in the game. The battles take place in turn-based mode, and during them the key to success is the proper placement of heroes and skillful juggling of their abilities. It is worth remembering that abilities can be combined with each other, which encourages experimenting with synergies.
