It's good. Boss designs are interesting, and they've got variety in weapons, armor, and skills to keep builds fun - though, honestly, I just maxed out a sword and chopped everything. Dodge skills keep you alive, but parry skills melt health bars. There's quite a few quests, but they do not hold your hand on these and you need to prioritize completing quests before killing bosses or you might lock yourself out. Managed to beat the game, but I'd probably have to do a new playthrough taking much more time to get the true ending and all the hidden side-bosses. If I've got complaints, I think the controls scheme is non-ideal. Double tap to dash, double tap to slide, rocking back and forth to use a weapon art - these movements, while simple enough, just don't come out as smoothly as you would like. There's a slight resistance where you can tell the game is trying to read your inputs but sometimes a dash will just jitter walking forwards instead, or a slide will end up as a roll. There's no difficult platforming in the game (maybe the devs realized this as well), but it means combat will never be as smooth as sticking with the basics of rolling and slashing.
This game is a hidden gem. A Metroidvania with methodical, souls-like combat, Vigil has an amazingly compelling world that piques the player's interest. With some highly-challenging hidden bosses and multiple endings, the game truly delivers more than I expected. I really hope Glass Heart Games develops a sequel, because I need more of this game and its fascinating world. 10/10
I don’t usually write reviews for games I’ve played, but Vigil: The Longest Night definitely deserves one. While it’s not the best metroidvania I’ve ever played (it’s not on the same level as Hollow Knight, Silksong, Nine Sols, or Ori and the Will of the Wisps), I still think it deserves way more recognition and a much larger fanbase than it currently has. For its price—and considering how under the radar it went—Vigil: The Longest Night is a surprisingly large game that can easily keep you busy for dozens of hours, especially if you’re into completionism. The map is huge (we’re talking about something on the scale of Silksong), the story is fairly long (split into three acts, even if the third one is quite short), and the game is packed with items and upgrades to find. What really impressed me is how much effort the developers put into the sheer variety of weapons, armor, outfits, spells, and consumables. Some of them even feature mechanics I hadn’t personally seen before in other games. Overall, the level of care is on par with much more well-known metroidvanias, and the amount of gear available supports a wide range of playstyles. The visuals and soundtrack are very solid—maybe not outstanding, but still clearly the result of a lot of work (and ultimately it comes down to personal taste). The game also features multiple endings and a New Game Plus mode, which are definitely nice additions. Enemy variety is another strong point. On the other hand, bosses are a bit of a weak spot: there aren’t that many of them, and most are fairly easy, often going down on the first try. Overall, I think this game is worth it even at full price. If you pick it up on sale (and it often gets heavily discounted), it’s honestly a steal for the amount of content it offers.
