Android: Vay's 16-Bit JRPG Reboot by SoMoGa

SoMoGa Inc. has unleashed a revitalized version of Vay on Android, iOS, and Steam. This classic 16-bit RPG returns with enhanced graphics, a modernized user interface, and controller support.

Originally launched in Japan in 1993 on the Sega CD (developed by Hertz and localized by Working Designs), Vay received a 2008 iOS re-release courtesy of SoMoGa. This latest iteration builds on that legacy.

What's New in the Revamped Vay?

This updated Vay boasts over 100 enemies, a dozen formidable bosses, and exploration across 90 diverse areas. A standout feature is the adjustable difficulty levels, catering to various player preferences. Auto-saving eliminates frustration, while Bluetooth controller support offers flexible gameplay options. 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:

Set in a distant galaxy scarred by a millennium-long interstellar war, Vay unfolds on a technologically underdeveloped planet after a catastrophic machine crash-lands. This self-destructing behemoth wreaked havoc before its systems failed.

Players embark on a quest to rescue their abducted wife, a mission that could potentially save the entire world. The idyllic wedding day turns into a nightmare with the bride's kidnapping, setting the stage for an epic journey to thwart the destructive war machines.

Vay's narrative seamlessly blends nostalgia and innovation, staying true to its JRPG roots with experience and gold acquisition through random encounters. The game features nearly ten minutes of animated cutscenes with both English and Japanese audio options.
