Evaluation
Vestaria Saga I: War of the Scions launched on December 27, 2019 as a complete strategy RPG. Post-launch developer activity was limited to bug fix patches through February 2020 and the addition of Simplified Chinese language support on June 28, 2020. The only DLC ever released was a soundtrack pack on the same day as the game's launch, and no additional DLC has been announced or listed.
The December 2021 announcement and July 2022 release of Vestaria Saga II — a separate sequel title on its own Steam page — confirmed that the story continuation the developers had in mind took the form of a standalone follow-up game rather than additional content for Vestaria Saga I. The store description itself describes this game as "the first chapter in a new strategy RPG series," and that sequel has now shipped, effectively closing the loop on any outstanding narrative promise tied to this entry.
There have been no developer communications directed at Vestaria Saga I since mid-2020, no unreleased DLC, no announced future updates, and no roadmap. The game launched as a complete product and all post-launch activity has long since concluded.

About this game
Story
Vestaria Saga tells the story of international conflict between a powerful empire and a small coastal kingdom. When an imperial ship is set ablaze near the port of Meleda, it sparks a cascade of events that thrusts young warrior Zadrian into a war for the future of his kingdom. On the run from a vicious imperial force and short on allies, Zade and his small band of knights must make difficult decisions to ensure that Meleda's princess, and the very future of its lineage, remain intact.
However, not everything is as it seems, and forces in the dark corners of the continent conspire. The stage is set, and the pieces have begun to move.
Gameplay
Vestaria Saga is a strategy RPG where positioning, movement, and even weaponry, are paramount to success. Move your heavily armed units around a classically styled grid-based map and engage pirates, rebels, monsters, imperial soldiers, and anyone else that stands in your way.
