The incredible journey in an interstellar monastery

What awaits you in The Banished Vault? The Banished Vault is the perfect game to satisfy the desire for an epic board game adventure when you’re short on teammates.

The strategy game puts you in control of a group of monks in an interstellar gothic monastery. They are the last survivors of a terrible catastrophe, the “Gloom”.

To keep it that way, you must guide them safely through hostile solar systems, manage resources, build outposts, and craft valuable materials to keep your crew alive. It is important that your monks never lose faith, otherwise it will all be over.

The solar systems your journey takes you through are procedurally generated and riddled with challenges and dangers to overcome. The goal is simple: survive long enough to write your story and transmit it to the monks’ homeland.

Fancy some math?

How is the game doing? To get a better sense of whether The Banished Vault is for you, we’ve rounded up some reviews here:

  • Lucid (recommended): “The Banished Vault says, ‘Hey kid, wanna do some math?’ and then laugh at me when I leave my exiles stranded on the ‘Hallowed Planet’ because I had the hubris to think I could inscribe our voyage there.”
  • Smiles (recommended): “The concept is pretty great and the graphics are fun. I wish there was a little more lore and some interesting unlocks, but so far I’m enjoying it.”
  • jurgioslakiv (not recommended): “I really wanted to like this game and I think it’s well done, but it’s not for me. The other reviews saying this is a math game are not wrong. While there is some element of randomness, the ‘right’ way to play is to plan 15 moves ahead, make the necessary calculations for each move, and then execute them.”

    • So The Banished Vault could be just the right thing for you if you want to experience that certain board game feeling, can get something out of the special hand-drawn look and dark atmosphere and are a little bit masochistic.
