Vindictus is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created by devCAT, an internal studio of Nexon. The story follows the player character joining a group of mercenaries and going on a series of missions to battle monsters. The gameplay has players exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, and upgrading their characters.[2]
The game was originally released on January 21, 2010 as Mabinogi Heroes (Korean: 마비노기 영웅전) in South Korea, and then later in North America and other regions as Vindictus. It is a prequel to devCAT's previous MMORPG Mabinogi set in the same world, although the two games have different gameplay. Vindictus is a live service game with new content being added in free updates over time.[3] On release the game received generally positive reception, particularly for its combat.
