The late bloomer Saturn homebrew game, Vigilant Paradise, is available now
I’ve long waited for the day I could talk about an impressive new indie game for the Sega Saturn, and the wait is finally over.
Vigilant Paradise is a new Miami Vice inspired FPS designed for the Saturn by one Riccardo Campione. Of course, although I say it’s new, the game actually made its debut with little-to-no fanfare in November 2025. It sat quietly on itch.io until someone going by dmar3000 just happened across it from simply searching for “Sega Saturn” on itch one day and then posted about it on Reddit. From there, it caught the attention of our good friends at Sega Saturn Shiro, who then wrote about the game themselves. It goes to show that sometimes going off the beaten path can lead you to some interesting hidden discoveries.
If this looks interesting to you, you can read on past the break to find out more about this hidden homebrew gem.
