Vandal Hearts — PC Port v1.3.0

A native PC port of Vandal Hearts (US, SLUS_004.47). You must supply your own
legally-owned disc image (.bin); the download does nothing without it.

Fixed (both modes)

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when transferring items to or from the convoy/depot.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur during certain cutscenes.

Quality of life (both modes)

  • Return to Title — a new options-overlay entry to jump straight back to the title screen from
    anywhere, without restarting the app or sitting through the intro. Confirms first (unsaved progress is
    lost).
  • Enemy threat overlay — now consistent at every camera angle (it no longer leaks onto off-field
    tiles, nor drops from genuinely-threatened tiles, when you rotate), and its pulse is softer and easier
    on the eyes over large danger zones.
  • Save management — destructive prompts (restore, delete) now show their question in red; the
    inspect action is relabeled "Inspect file content" for clarity.
  • Fixed the Fullscreen option being un-toggleable in the overlay.

New — Tactical Mode (opt-in, in testing)

An optional, fully-isolated rebalance for a more varied tactical experience — a per-chapter level cap
that ends experience-grinding, Trials of Toroah that scale to your chapter and reward gold + XP, class
reworks (Monk/Ninja, Guardsman/Dragoon mobility), a reined-in Vandalier, and restored cut content (item
descriptions, two cut weapons). Off by default; the normal mode stays byte-for-byte the original, and
Tactical saves are kept separate. See the Tactical Mode guide.

⚠️ In testing — later chapters are still being validated in playtest; balance numbers may change in
1.3.x. Normal mode is unaffected.

Downloads

Platform File How to run
Windows 10/11 VandalHearts-v1.3.0-windows-x64.zip Unzip; put your disc in a game\ folder next to vandalhearts_pc.exe; run it.
Linux (glibc ≥ 2.34) VandalHearts-v1.3.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage + vandalhearts.ini Put both together; put your disc in a game/ folder beside the .AppImage; chmod +x and run. Needs FUSE2.

Config: edit vandalhearts.ini next to the executable (window scale, audio, etc.).

Note on contents

A release binary embeds a portion of game-derived data (the executable's static
data segment, a small BIOS-derived font, reconstructed tables) so the port can
run — © Konami / © Sony, no ownership claimed. It is a fraction of the game; the
bulk loads from your own disc at runtime. See NOTICE/DISCLAIMER.
