About
Death, like yesterday, came in shades of crimson today. Answer me, Goddess. Where is Paradise?
My enemies have ceased to breathe, their lungs torn asunder. Yet, Morrighan... even here, there was no Paradise.
Vindictus establishes a new standard for Action RPGs, where the sensation of every hit defines the battle. Utilizing a precise non-targeting combat system, you must master the weight of your weapon and the exact trajectory of your swings to dominate the field. The environment itself is your arsenal; with precise and realistic physics, you can shatter pillars to crush monsters, wield broken timber as a weapon, or sever bridge ropes to send foes plummeting into the abyss. This is not just any ordinary combat; it is a fully interactive battlefield where every choice has a physical impact.
Step into a breathtaking world brought to life with dynamic lighting and atmospheric depth. Your journey will take you across diverse landscapes, from calm, open meadows to ancient castles and desolate, endless deserts. Experience a visual journey where every environment and every sky is different.
In the world of Vindictus, individuality is not a choice but a necessity. Break away from the identical looks of heroes with an expansive customization system offering various unique combinations. You have the freedom to fine-tune every detail of your character, from physique and skin tone to intricate body paintings and facial features. Whether you desire breathtaking beauty or a fierce, battle-hardened visage, your character will stand as a truly unique presence among others.
In a rough and silent land, humanity clings to survival and a single, burning promise: the Legend of Erinn. For generations, they have waited for Morrighan, the black-winged goddess who is prophesied to lead them to Paradise once the Fomors are vanquished. Yet, as the blood of enemies spills to open the gates to salvation, the line between prophecy and despair blurs. Is the legend a truth waiting to be fulfilled, or a dream that will never come to pass? The answer lies at the end of your blade.
"Destroy the Fomors. Their blood will open the gates to Erinn. On the day the last drop of blood is shed, The Goddess shall stand before you."

Wer Vindictus installiert, hat entweder zu viel Freizeit oder aktiv beschlossen, sich selbst zu bestrafen. Anfangs denkt man noch, das könnte ganz cool werden, bis man merkt, dass man nicht spielt, sondern in Vollzeit grindet. Das Kampfsystem wirkt dynamisch, bis der eigene Charakter sich bewegt wie ein Einkaufswagen mit drei Rädern und Gegner einen behandeln wie ein Trainingsdummy. Während Veteranen durch alles durchrennen, liege ich am Boden und versuche zu verstehen, was überhaupt passiert ist. Die Menüs sind ein Abenteuer für sich. Mehr Fenster als Spaß, mehr Verwirrung als Fortschritt. Fazit: Wer Frust, Grind und das Gefühl liebt, permanent fehl am Platz zu sein, wird hier glücklich. Alle anderen sollten lieber etwas anderes spielen, selbst Wände anstarren wäre entspannter. Müsst ihr wissen!
I can't afford to play it :(

Too Grindy. not fun after a while. The models are great though. But does runs flawlessly on max graphics for my system specs.
Historical game that revamped the mmo genre way before many others, before souls it had big boss fights, amazing soundtracks, decaying ambience, interactable objects. With due respect this game at that time was way ahead of any other, it's true right now it doesn't have much to offer. However at least it's not woke garbo.
Game will not launch on NA servers option
Vindictus is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, and honestly, most of the bad reviews are from people complaining out of a sense of nostalgia for the old days of the game. So, I suggest playing the game for a few hours before deciding if you'd like it or not instead of relying on Steam reviews. Also, Steams player numbers are not accurate for knowing if the game is alive and kicking, a lot of people say the game is dead, but it's definitely alive. Most people play on the Nexon official launcher so you can't actually see the full numbers, but a lot of people don't seem to recognize this, so they say the game's dead, which is inaccurate. It's more barren in the early to mid game, but from mid game to end game and beyond it has a lot more activity, which is honestly pretty normal for mmo's. At end game especially, you can find people for almost any raid pretty fast, and if that doesn't work there's always people using chat for recruitment. All in all, if you don't enjoy the game enough to play solo for a while to get to the active content, you could always boost your character with the Hero's Path function that was adding recently which lets you fight every main boss in the story while skipping the rest of said story, it gets you to lvl 115 and you can do it with every character you make, you can also play through the story normally with a replay function if you want to experience it later. Or you could ignore what I said above and just play through the game normally with a friend or multiple, which is a great experience which I recommend completely. But yes, I recommend this game wholeheartedly, and I hope you can enjoy it as well. And again, if you are debating whether or not to play, just try it out for a while without relying on reviews if you can. P.S. - Vindictus has the best combat of any game I have ever played, and if that doesn't interest you then I will also say that the game has a lot of customization, a lot of which is very "risque" so if both combat and sexy women (and men) don't get you interested Idk what will. Have a good rest of your day/night, and I hope you have fun!
I couldn't play the game because of FPS issues; it's a broken game.
No gamepad support. Please add and I will change review.
oynaya biləcəyiniz ən maraqlı oyundu. Zindan tipli oyunları sevirsizsə ən uyğunudur. Çətinlikləri gold earing sistemi mənə görə idealdı qısacası TÖVSİYƏ EDİRƏM
Been an awesome game for almost 2 decades!
