YMMV / Vambrace: Cold Soul

Go To

  • Serial Numbers Filed Off: The game's similarities with Darkest Dungeon have been a point of contention since before its release, due to essentially the same sort of exploration of Side View dungeons filled with treasure and traps alike, interspersed with the turn-based random encounters.
    • Both games even begin with the protagonist receiving a letter from their long-lost father/relative inviting them to an Eldritch Location! (Although Vambrace puts the combat tutorial from the POV of minor characters in front of that moment.)
    • The similarities with A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Northern plotline don't help either, with both works featuring a lot of magical icy undead, a huge enchanted ice wall, and even have antagonists with similar names (King of Shades here vs. the Night King in the TV series).
    • Gameplay differs in detail from Darkest Dungeon, largely through Vambrace being simpler.
