An old RPG/strategy game worth playing still

bychalgyr Dec 4, 2012
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A great early example of branching storylines and strategy
Cons Audio and video are even more dated than expected
Recommended it? Yes

So what is Vanguard Bandits?  It is a hybrid RPG/strategy title not unlike Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, but with a mech theme.  Each mission is carried out on a map made up of squares that your team and enemy units occupy.  You have a certain number of squares you can...

Pros Intriguing plot, Nice Music, Great Localization
Cons Sub-Par Graphics, Unbalanced Battles
Recommended it? Yes

Working Designs is now getting a name for their great translations of games which- usually- have poor graphics, and yet prove to be some of the most memorable games. The Lunar series is their prizes medal of accomplishment, but they don't stop there- here is one of their many other well-done games... Read full review »

Best of its kind.

Pros Game style is the best feature.
Cons Not long enough.
Recommended it? Yes

Absolutely amazing and captivating.
I couldn't get enough of this game. After renting it and playing I bought it soon after. Disappointed to find out it wasn't longer, however. But the other things this game has going for it makes up for that draw-back.

The animation wasn't so great,... Read full review »

Another captivating game from Working Designs

Pros Great fun
Cons Less-than stellar graphics may turn some gamers off
Recommended it? Yes

Graphics- 7.5 Not the best ever seen on the Playstation, but they do their job. And hey, RPG's aren't about graphics, right?
Music-7.5 Once again, not bad, but not the best on the Playstation. Still, there are a few memorable tunes and, more importantly, no tracks DETRACT from the game's... Read full review »

Vanguard Bandits: Far, Far Less of a Game Than It Should Be.

byAlkaiser Jul 31, 2000

Pros Turn based strategy combat...
Cons Turn based strategy combat at its near worst.
Recommended it? No

This is the second game I've bought after checking out reviews on Epinions. This is the first one I've been disappointed with. Apparently, the other reviewers who played this game have never played a good turn-based strategy game. Out of all the turn based strategy games I've ever played, this is... Read full review »

A Great RPG Game!

Pros All is good here
Cons Can't think of anything
Recommended it? Yes

Working Designs has done it again, putting out a game that is reminiscent of Dragon Force. Vanguard Bandits sports quick paced battles, good graphics, tons of text and alot of character personality. It also comes with a 8-hour Demo of Lunar 2 that ain't to shabby. If you read Darkstorm's review it... Read full review »

Vanguard Bandits: Another Working Designs hit title?

Pros Great localization (as usual) by Working Designs; plenty of missions and replay value;...
Cons Somewhat difficult to learn, especially for casual gamers
Recommended it? Yes

Vanguard Bandits (originally titled Detonator Gauntlet) is Working Designs' attempt at a strategy RPG, a genre most notably visited by Squaresoft (Final Fantasy Tactics) and Konami (Vandal hearts I/II). While the game does have some weaknesses in the graphics and sound departments, strategy RPG... Read full review »
