'''''Vindictus''''', known as ''Mabinogi: Heroes'' in the original Korean version, is the Prequel to ''[[Mabinogi (video game)|Mabinogi]]'' produced by DevCat Studios and distributed by Nexon USA. The storyline takes place during the period of ''Mabinogi'''s history referred to in-game as the "[[Great Offscreen War|Fomor Wars]]", which forms the backdrop for most of the original game's storyline quests. The land that the ''Vindictus'' storyline takes place in {{spoiler|what becomes the dark, hostile "Another World" of the original game}}.
While set in the same world, this is a [[Darker and Edgier|darker]] and [[Bloodier and Gorier|bloodier]] version, using [[Valve]]'s Source [[Game Engine|engine]]. Although it maintains some of the original's skill-based system and titles, gameplay is far more combat-oriented -- it is being promoted as an "Action RPG" -- and the game mechanics are simplified. The gameplay is like a mix of [[Dynasty Warriors]] and ''[[Monster Hunter]]'', with just a pinch of ''[[Demon's Souls]]''. Also differing from ''Mabinogi''; ''Vindictus'' is far more story-driven; and at least half of the missions advance the main story. There is almost none of the [[Wide Open Sandbox]] quality that dominated the original game; and most of the side missions are in some way related to the main storyline, typically providing more detail, character development, or a different perspective.
