SoMoGa Inc. has released a modernized version of Vay for Android, iOS, and Steam. Vay, a classic 16-bit RPG, returns with enhanced graphics, a redesigned interface, and controller support.

Originally released in Japan in 1993 on the Sega CD (developed by Hertz and localized by Working Designs), Vay received an iOS re-release by SoMoGa in 2008. This new version builds upon that legacy.

What's New in the Revamped Vay?

This updated Vay boasts over 100 enemies, a dozen challenging bosses, and exploration across 90 diverse areas. A standout feature is its adjustable difficulty settings. Convenience is improved with auto-saving, and Bluetooth controller support offers flexible gameplay options. Players can acquire new equipment and items, learn new spells through character leveling, and utilize an AI system for autonomous character combat.

The Story:

Set in a distant galaxy scarred by a millennia-long interstellar war, the game unfolds on Vay, a technologically underdeveloped planet. A malfunctioning colossal war machine, programmed for destruction, crashed into Vay, causing widespread devastation.

The player embarks on a quest to rescue their kidnapped wife, a mission that may determine the fate of the world. Attacked on their wedding day, the protagonist sets off on an epic journey to thwart the destructive war machines.

Vay's captivating narrative blends nostalgia with modern elements. True to its JRPG roots, characters gain experience and gold through random encounters. The game includes almost ten minutes of animated cutscenes with both English and Japanese audio options.

Download the premium version of Vay (priced at $5.99) from the Google Play Store. For more gaming news, check out our other articles, such as our coverage of the Loving Reveries update in Tears of Themis.
