  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. No privacy or child-targeting concerns found.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

Parents ask…

Is The Vagrant safe for kids?

Ludograph gives The Vagrant a rating of 60/100, recommended for ages 13 and up. It offers solid benefits but needs parental guidance on the risks.

What age is The Vagrant appropriate for?

Ludograph's rubric recommends a minimum age of 13+ for The Vagrant, based on benefits, risks, and content review.

How long should kids play The Vagrant?

Our session recommendation for The Vagrant is up to 120 minutes per day. It is derived from the game's own structure (natural stopping points, compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social dynamics), not from a universal screen-time dose.

Session recommendations are design-based heuristics. Evidence linking specific daily durations to child outcomes is limited, and context matters as much as time; treat this as a starting point for household rules, not a clinical threshold.

What are the main risks of The Vagrant?

Players will encounter moderate fantasy violence against monsters and beasts in a hack-and-slash combat style. While the game features challenging combat, it lacks manipulative design mechanics, monetization pressures, or social risks.
