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 streamlined user interface, and controller support.
Originally launched in Japan in 1993 on the Sega CD (developed by Hertz and localized for the US 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. The addition of auto-saving and Bluetooth controller support enhances playability. Players can acquire new equipment and items, learn new spells through character leveling, and even utilize an AI system for autonomous character combat.
The Story:
The game unfolds in a distant galaxy scarred by a millennium-long interstellar war. A colossal, malfunctioning war machine crashes into the technologically underdeveloped planet Vay, causing widespread destruction.
Players embark on a quest to rescue their abducted wife, a mission that could ultimately save the entire world. The peaceful wedding day is disrupted by an attack, leading the protagonist on an epic journey to thwart the destructive war machines.
Vay's narrative blends classic JRPG elements with modern enhancements. Characters gain experience and gold through random encounters, and the game features nearly ten minutes of animated cutscenes with English and Japanese audio options.
