Choose an ice cream dog, pick a class, and climb a hostile tower full of surprises. Vagabones turns cozy mascots into a cooperative, roguelike brawl against the Calico King.
Vagabones flips the cute-and-chaotic switch on the dungeon crawler. You pick one of four ice cream dogs - Neo, Coby, Chaz, or Miley - choose a class, then team up with up to three friends to tackle the Savage Garden and climb the Dark Tower in pursuit of the Calico King. It promises cooperative roguelike runs with changing puzzles, enemies, skills, and items that keep every playthrough feeling fresh.
Each class in Vagabones brings its own skill set and upgrade tree, and those options shift from run to run. That means builds are flexible by design - part of the fun is experimenting with combinations of skills and items to find what suits your play style. The four playable mascots - Neo, Coby, Chaz and Miley - are the faces of the game, but the depth comes from class choice and the synergies you discover across runs.
The roguelike loop is straightforward but with a twist: as you advance, the Tower and its ruler grow more powerful. Every run reshuffles puzzles, enemy placements, and rewards, while unlocking new powers that carry over to future attempts. That gives progression teeth without erasing the unpredictable nature of each ascent. Expect to learn, adapt, and chase improvements as the Tower escalates its challenge.
Combat in Vagabones pits you against hordes and distinct bosses, each with unique attacks and mechanics. Encounters demand coordination in co-op and clever use of your class skills. The variety of enemies and boss patterns, combined with run-to-run item randomness, should keep fights dynamic whether you play solo or with a full party.
Up to four players can team up to handle enemies, solve environmental puzzles, and join minigames scattered through the Tower. Cooperation matters - both for surviving enemy swarms and for tackling the Tower's secret challenges. Minigames add a social, lighter layer to the climb and create memorable moments between tense battles.
Vagabones blends a playful aesthetic with a serious roguelike core: randomized runs, unlockable powers, and escalating difficulty. If you like cooperative dungeon crawlers that reward experimentation and teamwork, its mix of classes, minigames, and evolving Tower threats looks like a recipe for repeatable fun without getting stale.
