Vivid World

Vivid World confirms that the series retains its strong potential, combining tried-and-true elements from Vivid Knight with innovative ideas. The auto-battler mechanic, Jewel System, and Orbs allow for creative party-building and strategy without unnecessary micromanagement. Roguelike elements and varied bosses keep every playthrough fresh and challenging, while the visual style and redesigned characters create an engaging world. The story offers mystique, interactive choices, and interesting twists that encourage exploration. The game is thus suitable for both fans of the original title and new players seeking strategic depth, experimentation, and synergistic combinations. Vivid World is a must-play for every lover of original strategy games.

Vivid World is an enjoyable auto-battler strategy game with roguelike elements, wrapped in one fun package. It's got it all, from fun gameplay, to cute, whimsical visuals, and a gripping story, coming together for a solid gameplay experience that will have you entertained for hours.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the game only allows mouse and keyboard to play, I would have given a higher rating. I did attempt to play the game on my Steam Deck with a lot of issues and just end up playing on PC. Vivid World is a fun game that has a co-op option if you’re able to find someone to play the game with you. I would have loved to use the feature, but focused mostly on aiming to beat each dungeon on my own. If you like playing auto-battlers and want to play a game that only requires 1/4 of your brain to play, in a good way, definitely pick up Vivid World today. Maybe pick up Vivid Knight while you’re at it too! I give Vivid World the Thumb Culture Gold Award

Though its RNG inventory can be bloated and it doesn’t communicate information perfectly, Vivid World is a highly fun combination of several genres that stands out for its replayable, engaging gameplay loop and super unique identity.
