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.
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. On release the game received generally positive reception, particularly for its combat.
