Nimian Legends: Vandgels

A work, and a world, of brilliance and beauty. I don’t write reviews, and I don’t play many games, but Vandgels is an oasis in a vast digital realm of repetitive and aggressive gameplay. It’s so imaginative, so detailed and so thoughtfully woven together, and its narrative is built around a gentle and inquiring ethic. Rare, original, absorbing. Thank you.

Like Brightridge I love this game. For a solo developer this is awesome work, keep it up. I look forward to seeing more games like this.

Such a beautiful story which captures what all of us go through every day life. Power, greed, force, fortune, balance and faith. Ultimately, have faith and know that we are part of something greater. Well done for portraying such truths in a game that we all live in our daily lives.

i love dis game! There is SO much creativity in it and fantasy animals(but some are realistic like deer) but why waste a whole day on dungeons for just animal morphs? I think u need to change the spiderbot dungeon all because it’s just the hardest area ever.

i was very happy to come across this little gem of a game that is actually a vast world of possibilities! it took a lot of research through endless links to finally find what i was hoping for...a beautiful open world adventure in natural and ever changing environments and conditions with the freedom to explore at leisure...with or without storyline...but always the sense of wonder and adventure of what is over the next ridge...through that portal...beyond those ruins.... the ability to choose weather patterns and completely control the graphic qualities of the games environment and lighting were a delight to discover and allows so much individuality and customisation to the adventure...along with a lovely soundtrack that also adapts to changing environments all makes for such an immersive and sumptuous gaming experience... i enjoy particularly long and mysterious adventures with little or no guidance and maximum freedom of choice and movement in as limitless as possible open world design imaginable and for this reason alone i give five stars... i don’t enjoy endless repetitive battle scenes or grinding to achieve anything of value in a gaming experience and the complete lack of these cliche elements from this game also scores another five stars from me... i would like to thank the developer for sharing this beautiful dreamscape with us and making such an enjoyable open world adventure possible again...at last...the search is over...and now the journey of endless possibilities may begin...

If you like in depth storytelling on fictional concepts of otherworldly culture, then this might appeal to you as a story unfolds while running around a gorgeously designed landscape. The scenery is really beautiful and kudos to the developer for such a detailed and gorgeous landscape. For myself, after two hours it got tedious as it just seemed I was constantly running to wherever the yellow diamond marker appeared on the map, where all that happened when I got to it is i’d receive a small snippet of dialogue. Then the yellow marker appears somewhere else to repeat the process. Im more of an action player so the indepth dialogue was a bit too much for me.

This game is so amazing! I just downloaded and haven’t played much, but I couldn’t wait to rate it. The setting, landscape, music, and story are all amazing, though I haven’t finished yet. I love the option of dungeonette and explorateur mode, and the fact that you can customize every thing about the world. I especially love the filters! It was more expensive than most games I downloaded but it was worth every cent and more, I’m surprised it was only 4 dollars. This game deserves to win awards and it’s honestly unbelievable that a single person did this. It’s better than most of the games I’ve played, made by a whole big group of people. Keep up the good work! This game is amazing! P.S.: I had to come back because i didn’t realize the sheer depth of this world, the preview doesn’t do it justice. Did you know you can read the books in the library for information about the world?

IPad control is difficult; only issue. I love the free roam!!! Incredible views. Wonderful hidden caves and caverns. How did you create so much range/space with so much detail? Wow! I was able to solve all ten trials and can shift-change to the other creatures. Sure beats walking! Look forward to more. Thanks!

Love this game and all your work so far Robert. BrightRidge was my first game of yours I tried and loved it, but finished everything their was to do too quickly. Vandgels is even better with more space to explore, more shapes to shift into and just so much more of everything with the same beautiful design and great music tracks for different areas. I love all of your work so far and look forward to your next project. I will likely buy anything you release if you keep putting out games of this quality. Keep up the good work!

Please add a mating option, and an online option. And please add new characters too. Otherwise great game! (Almost forgot, for multiplayer, add a chat please. Also, I don’t think this review is sending…)
