Yes, they are ramping it faster. Weapons are boosting up the character's attributes according to rarity, material, set and other characteristics. We summarized the weapon system in our guide: guides.ensorium.com/vagabonds/in...

You can skip upgrades, but there is still a progress depending on number and value of weapons, completed quests, level current character.

It changes: the difficulty increases with new and more enemies.

They start in the quest map, select the first act and start fighting. During the fight they collect loot and use it later in the upgrade map. After that they start over again.

We overshot balancing Cursed Soulless Vagabonds! The splash attribute is so strong that at level 60, enemies don't even make it on screen. Looks like we have some rebalancing to do. Do you prefer totally overpowered builds or keeping the challenge? #survivorlike #gamedev #indiegame #roguelite

Level in Cursed Soulless Vagabonds, where the enemies do not make it into the screen. The reason is overpowered build.

The selection of swords which combines the splash attributes. Due to our balancing the attributes are enforcing each other.

Tooltip of the sword in Cursed Soulless Vagabonds showing the characteristics of the sword Hestia. Damage, Range, Delay, Splash Damage and other attributes are calculated. The result is shown at the bottom: Damage per second results is 3088.

Happy #whishlistwednesday! Sword inventory in optimization phase to make builds even easier! Check the build result by color in the top right corner! Cursed Soulless Vagabonds. Links in bio. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Incremental #ARPG #TowerDefense #RogueIncremental #CSVagabonds #survivorlike

It helped - but only with additional feautures, like massive enemy swarms, new enemy classes and repeating upgrade cycle. You continously improve your character: play, collect and invest. As your power grows, the swarm scales in size and composition to maintain tension

We reduce the run length even further. In our game a single level is 3-4 minutes. A full run takes under 15 minutes. It makes failure less punishing, as you will keep all gathered loot.

Ensorium @ensorium.com · 25/07/2026

The swords inventory is ready! To build easily synergies, we gave every weapon a color. Match blades of the same color to increase attributes. Finding identical swords strengthens them even further! #gamedev #indiedev #Incremental #ARPG #TowerDefense #RogueIncremental #CSVagabonds #survivorlike

Yes, it does. You get loot right from the beginning, which you can reinvest to grow stronger. And you can feel it directly. But that core loop has its limits and after a few hours playing, you expect the next big thing - which is what we are implemeting right now.

Ensorium @ensorium.com · 21/07/2026

Very few. This is a real challenge, as sometimes we think too complicated. We try to get the core mechanic right from the beginning and add more later to keep the motivation high.

We use these AI images strictly as broad mood boards to capture a general vibe, rather than as strict blueprints to copy 1:1.

Ensorium @ensorium.com · 27/06/2026

As a small indie team, we use generative AI for early mood boards and visualize our dark fantasy world. Watch how we translate these concepts into our actual, handcrafted 3D levels. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #CSVagabonds

I see the same gap, especially as I am getting older. It's not the easiest gap to close, but I think it is important to take care of it.

Balance vs Fun We use massive .csv files to scale difficulty and balance enemy swarms. How to master this? Every short run ends at the Upgrade Map where you invest your loot. Think it's too easy? Grab the “more enemies” upgrade and balance it yourself! #gamedev #indiedev #Roguelike #Incremental
