About Vanguard Bandits

Vanguard Bandits is a tactical role-playing game released for the PlayStation in the late 1990s. It places you in command of a squad of specialized mechs, known as Vanguards, during a conflict against an oppressive empire.

In Vanguard Bandits, you guide "The Kid" and his allies through a story that unfolds across numerous missions. Each mission involves deploying your Vanguards on a grid-based battlefield. You'll carefully consider each unit's movement, attack range, and special abilities to outmaneuver enemy forces. Combat is turn-based, requiring strategic planning to exploit enemy weaknesses and protect your own mechs from damage.

Progression in Vanguard Bandits involves more than just winning battles. Between missions, you can manage your squad, repair damaged Vanguards, and acquire new parts or weapons to customize your mechs. This allows you to tailor your forces to specific mission objectives or enemy types. The game also features branching story paths, meaning your decisions can lead to different outcomes and multiple endings, encouraging replayability.
