A vast continent is yours to explore, filled with unique locations, strange factions, lurking dangers, and a lot of characters you can interact with. In order to punish the Empire for their sins a thousand years ago, the Elder Gods manifested themselves in the world, letting loose powers that ended up devastating it. Following this Calamity, the Empire was slow to rebuild and became a dark caricature of its former image. The continent is now a wasteland, riddled with arcane anomalies, twisted monsters, and undead.
A large selection of longer and shorter stories make up the game’s narrative in the form of events and quests. The choices you make in these often affect the companions and the world around you. Pick your background from trader, mercenary, or explorer; work for factions, follow rumors and trading opportunities; acquire wealth, gain fame, and discover hidden knowledge. The world is sandbox, yet it is filled with hand-crafted content.
Engage in turn-based, tactical combat that involves your companions and a large variety of enemies, both humanoid and monstrous. Use a wide range of character skills to succeed, as well as your own leadership-related abilities. Positioning and support skills are of paramount importance when your companions struggle against powerful foes.
Most journeys have to be planned and prepared for carefully, lest they end in disaster. Manage your supplies, morale, and the freshness of your people effectively to survive. Haul cargo and valuables across the wasteland or take it from others. Your crew of workers, fighters, scouts, and slaves have to be managed to optimize their effectiveness. Equip your caravan with upgrades and your companions with magical gear.
The player can recruit a wide variety of companions into the caravan to serve in versatile roles, such as scoutmaster, guard captain, quartermaster, or navigator. Each of them comes with their own combat skills, background stories, and personal quest lines that, when completed, can upgrade them in unforeseen ways. They can progress through experience levels to become more potent crew members as well as in combat.

Hey everyone,
This update not only brings another round of fixes and tweaks, but also adds a long quest called The Gangs of Varnurud, changes a location in the expansion, and introduces Fog of War to certain parts of At the Heart of Ruin.
Shoutout to Trese Brothers on Cyber Knights: Flashpoint
Before getting into 1.260, wed look to mention our good friends at Trese Brothers, whove just hit a big milestone for their tactical RPG, [u]https://store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/Cyber_Knights_Flashpoint/?utm_source=vagrus&utm_campaign=cross-promo-nov2025\"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, [/u] released earlier this year, while also running a sale. This deep tactical RPG puts you in charge of cyberpunk mercenaries, sending squads on tense heights amidst the megacorps and crime syndicates of the 23rd century. Like Vagrus, its a challenging, complex game. Its not an open world experience or narrative-focused, instead mixing hand-crafted content with clever procedurally generated systems and a huge variety of character build options, for extreme replayability. If you like games like XCOM or Shadowrun, this ones worth a look!

The Gangs of Varnurud
This lengthy quest ties up loose ends regarding the hostile scavenger gangs in Varnurud after certain decisive decisions. It is by no means a simple undertaking, and youll need to face some of the toughest warriors and lunatics the scavenger gangs can deploy repeatedly! SPOILER ALERT! Completing it makes the region a bit safer (though it still remains one of the most perilous areas in game). You can access it after completing the quest All the Way Down.
Some locations in Varnurud also changed a bit. Chief of these is the appearance of the Ancients Causeway in the northern section, which is now a Point of Interest you can visit, with repeatable Exploration Encounters in tow. Thats not all, however, as the ancient monoliths might end up being the site for a certain new quest stage.

Fog of War
Smoke and ash have always been part of the environment of the volcanic plateaus and valleys of Varnurud (and the rest of the Mountains of Fire). To represent this, we are now adding a proper Fog of War feature to the mountainous area. It is perfect to represent the different scope of the mountains and the lack of visibility a stark contrast to the mostly open wastelands of the vanilla game. This has been in the works for a while, and we hope you appreciate the added immersion.
