Vay

This is a pleasure to play on mobile—I thought I’d stick with the traditional on-screen digital analog stick, but the point-and-click navigation is really smooth and has been an easy way to play the game either one-handed or when I’m out and about and can’t use my bluetooth controller. I love playing old-school JRPG’s, and I’ve been enjoying the monster designs and the combat system in Vay. The company behind the game keeps adding quality of life updates too, so that’s always a plus. The original cut-scenes in the game are old but gold, as they say, and I recommend this game for anyone that loves adventure stories.

I had a lot of fun with Vay, it’s a port of the original sega cd game from 1993. Classic RPG, but includes modern improvements to make it entertaining. I really liked the option to have the 16 bit backgrounds or the HD updated ones. For those who want less grind, there’s options to increase the xp and gold you get from the battles. This was much appreciated as there were times I didn’t want to grind just to afford better armor. One gripe, the names are all changed from the original, so when you use a walkthrough or look for help it can be confusing. Weapons, armor, and items are all called something different. It would be nice to have an option to switch the names to the original so you can match up items with what they are referred to online. Overall I’m really happy with the purchase and had a lot of fun playing through. I’d love to see more sega cd remakes from working design! Thanks devs!!

Thank you for the update, it’s amazing! For some reason I cannot fathom I was looking up old Working Designs games and noticed there was an iOS port of Vay. I owned, and I fact still own, the SegaCD version of this game. The control scheme is atrocious but I couldn't pass this game up for $0.99. Other than the fact that movement is highly annoying this is an amazing classic RPG.

Overall, the game is decent. My only real gripe is magic is mislabeled. I thought that my casters were getting duplicate spells for some reason, but when I clicked on then they did other things with more mp cost. For example, Pottle had a second mend on his menu for 2 mp. If that is selected in combat, it makes the team escape combat. I really hate having to click spells to find out what they do and how much they cost. Second minor gripe, I had items that are for use in combat that either would not show up in the item menu or would not let me click them, such as devils spark

At the time of release, controller support was not supported in iOS. That said, if the developers of this port can keep up with the iOS changes that have run many games into the I OS graveyard than they could take the extra time to add controller support to this title which would make it a much more enjoyable experience. In terms of the game itself, there are much better iOS RPG games to play on the platform at this point and unless you are aiming at nostalgia or curious about the Sega CD, this is a title better off dismissed for more relevant gaming experiences.

I like the game but would love controller support. I have trouble playing with screen controls so it makes me reluctant to choose Vay when I could play Lunar which has controller.

If you like the game, this is a great way to play the game. Enjoy yourself.

The games super fun the only problem is I don’t get the video to play but the game works and the developers are still fixing bugs after a long time so I’m glad they are still improving

I just get a black screen and audio. Sounds like a cool story.
