What it is

Vangers is a vehicular combat and exploration game with a unique creature-based economy and a dark, alien future setting. Players drive, fight, and trade in a dangerous, procedurally generated universe.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 96% positive, but with 1,160 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
