Vigil RPG, released one year ago today, is now $2! If you're not familiar with it, Vigil RPG is an 8-bit-style RPG that features: * Portrait mode, one-thumb controls, with NO on-screen D-pad; * Quick-but-interesting turn-based combat, where you must anticipate your foe's moves to be successful -- NOT the typical basic attack repeatedly, exploit elemental weaknesses, heal up as needed, rinse/repeat; * NO stamina timers, IAPs, or ads! Not even a "review this app" nag dialog!

Vigil RPG is a single-player, 8-bit-style, premium RPG, where *every* battle — not just boss fights — is quick, yet involves interesting decision-making. Take on the role of a solo hero on a quest to discover the hidden cause behind the sudden appearance of marauding bands of goblins and monsters! Vigil RPG strives to be the ideal pocket-size turn-based RPG, by incorporating these features that you may come to wish that every mobile game had: • Created by a one-person development team with a design goal of maximum FUN — not maximum monetization! Vigil RPG has no IAPs, ads, stamina timers, or even "leave a review!" nags. If a feature doesn't add fun, then it didn't make the cut. • Meaningful decision-making in every combat — even vs. non-boss enemies! Every enemy has unique attack patterns and "tells" for a clever player to overcome. Healing is hard to come by outside of town, so employing efficient battle strategy is important and rewarding. • Fast turn-based combat! Select an action and launch each combat round in a single tap — no multi-level menus to navigate through. Each round takes about one second to play out. Zip through battles quickly against easy enemies; take your time to consider your strategy vs. tougher foes. Vigil RPG respects your time! • No annoying tropes common to console-port RPGs: No imprecise on-screen D-pad; just tap your destination to move. No save points, or manual saving; your progress is continually auto-saved, even mid-battle! • Absolutely no Internet connection required! Play from start to closing credits in Airplane Mode! • Unlike many other mobile games, doesn't unduly drain your phone's battery! Vigil RPG is 100% implemented in Apple's native Objective-C language — no bulky 3rd-party frameworks used! VIGIL RPG SPECIAL 5TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION - Huge v2.0 free update! • Now a Universal app! Play on your iPad, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro in full resolution! • Beautiful high resolution support for all iPhone sizes, from iPhone SE to the iPhone 13 Pro Max! • Bo the Bartender has tons of new advice, commentary, and humor!
