Sword of the Vagrant is a hack and slash side-scrolling role-playing video game. It was developed by Beijing-based studio O.T.K Games and published by SakuraGame and Rainy Frog LLC. The game was released on June 9, 2017, for Windows, and was later released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on December 1, 2022. The game follows a female sellsword named Vivian who travels to the island of Mythrilla in search of her missing father. There, she is cursed and forced to serve an evil witch. The game is notable for its heavy graphical inspiration from Vanillaware titles such as Muramasa and Dragon's Crown. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its graphics, but called its gameplay simplistic, albeit worth the low price of the PC version.
