Vindictus is a Korean action game from devCAT, an internal Nexon studio. At home it is called Mabinogi Heroes and launched in January 2010, reaching North America that October. It is grim fantasy on the Source engine: mercenaries fight the Fomors.
The structure is simple: a town works as a shared lobby, and fights take place in instanced dungeons you enter solo or with a small party. Instead of building a class you pick one of the preset heroes, each with their own weapons, and customize looks and gear. There is no targeting, and the arena joins in: you can topple pillars onto enemies, swing debris and grab and throw foes.
It suits players who love dense boss fights. There is no open world, European and Japanese servers are long gone, and the Steam page is blocked in Russia.
