It looks rather promising, as you can see in the below trailer.

Full disclosure: I misread the title as “Salvage” and got excited because salvage games are one of my favourite things that basically don’t exist. This may not scratch that exact itch, but I am intrigued nonetheless.
Unsurprisingly, developers KPas nameTeleglitchas an inspiration, even going so far as to call their work a “spiritual successor”. That’s rather bold, and a high bar, although there are a few obvious parallels to Test3 Projects' 2012 survival horror roguelike. That game was a case of nervously inching through creepy bases hoping to find a tin can you could turn into a makeshift nailbomb before one of its skittering undead horrors appeared to rip your legs off. It was great but not to my taste, and very stressful and difficult even to its fans, as former RPS perpetrator Jim Rossignolreported. He and his accomplice John Walkerwent into some detail about itin 2013.
Savage Vessels is expected to come toSteamon the 2nd of March. According toits forumit will cost “about $10 to $15”. A much earlier, outdated demo is available onItch.
