Renegades Vault FAQ

Renegades Vault is an adult post-apocalyptic slave-trading management RPG where you acquire, evaluate, develop, retain, and sell a valuable roster while rebuilding power from a hidden desert Vault.

It combines roster management, RPG progression, resource survival, slave trading, exploration, turn-based combat, story choices, and mature adult themes. Trading and developing the right people for the right opportunities is the central economic loop.

Your long-term goal is to grow the hidden Vault into a powerful operation, use information and profitable trades to build influence, and gain leverage against Overseer Kane’s network of control.

The game takes place in the year 2210 after economic collapse, environmental disaster, drought, and resource wars reshaped the world.
