Vay Remastered: 16-Bit JRPG Reborn on Android

SoMoGa Inc. has released a remastered version of Vay for Android, iOS, and Steam. This classic 16-bit RPG returns with updated graphics, a modernized interface, and controller support.

Originally released in Japan in 1993 on the Sega CD (developed by Hertz and localized by Working Designs), Vay was re-released by SoMoGa on iOS in 2008. This new version builds upon that legacy.

What's New in the Remastered Vay?

The revamped Vay boasts over 100 enemies, a dozen challenging bosses, and exploration across 90 diverse areas. A standout feature is its adjustable difficulty levels.

Convenience features include auto-saving and Bluetooth controller support. Players can acquire new equipment and spells as their characters level up, with an AI system allowing for autonomous character combat.

The Story:

Set in a distant galaxy, Vay's narrative unfolds millennia after a devastating interstellar war. A malfunctioning superweapon crashes onto the technologically underdeveloped planet Vay, causing widespread destruction.

Players embark on a quest to rescue their kidnapped wife and potentially save the world. Their wedding day is interrupted by an attack, setting the stage for an epic journey to confront the destructive war machines.

Vay's compelling story blends nostalgia with modern elements. It retains classic JRPG mechanics, with experience and gold gained through random encounters. The game includes almost ten minutes of animated cutscenes with both English and Japanese audio options.
