The Banished Vault was one of our favorite games of last year. Chris Tapsell gave it five stars in his rating. Banished Vault Review“Give The Banished Vault your real, undivided attention,” he wrote, “and what it delivers is a feeling of almost unparalleled reward.” I just finished reading this, too. Interviewed Nick Tringali, creator of The Banished Vault about the game.
The Banished Vault is a science-fiction puzzle strategy. You’re a space monk of sorts, and you must fly through space while escaping an impenetrable, destructive blackness called the Gloom. You must fly to different star systems, find ancient knowledge lost by your order, and then harvest the resources you need to escape again. This is no easy task. The Banished Vault is a game that requires calculating many moves in advance. It’s a game about weighing fuel savings and resources and micromanaging every aspect of it. Precision is key.
