Savage Vessels

Controls feel great. Does not suffer from poor RNG loot. These games can get frustrating at times but overall it was a fun experience. Description of game is accurate and tutorial was adequate. Finished the game, hope to see more! Difficult survival game. You'll find more success to take it slow and approach enemies with caution. Analyze your loadout and use/craft resources wisely. Punishes you hard for mistakes and is permadeath. Total of 10 maps with predefined regions that are procedurally combined. Each level you're navigating to three waypoints then return to carrier at start position. Some levels require defeating a boss to reveal the waypoints. [b]Checkpoints:[/b] You can Unlock some levels as you progress through the game allowing you to start from there if you were to die. Those levels will spawn you in with decent amount of loot to get the job done. [b]The void:[/b] Surrounds the entire map and kills instantly unless you craft a specific item. Its shape can shift due to massive objects, causing finicky results and can often be difficult to spot in some areas. Dropped loot can often get lost in the void. It's not all bad, you can lure and push enemies into it! Game has minor flaws but this may be the most controversial mechanic. Suggest not to manipulate it with massive objects and carry that specific item [spoiler]Emergency Kit[/spoiler] when possible to prevent frustrating deaths. [b]Teleglitch:[/b] Lots of inspirations taken from it while still doing it's own thing. It seems easier to me than tele as it is more generous with the loot. IMO this game gets brutal if you start rushing, but it doesn't often overwhelm you if you take a slower approach. Don't expect the same experience but it's definitely something to try if you're looking for something heavily inspired. These games deserve more love so give it a shot!

I've replayed the 1st and second level several times and since there's no save until 3rd level I think, I just keep having to do it over. There doesn't appear to be a gun to be found on those first two levels so I suppose you have to get past that point to find one.

The perfect example of a hidden gem

A love letter to Teleglitch.

It's fun - some parts you use to craft advanced weapons are used to fix your ship. How far will you push your luck? :)

The game is very attractive. Not a great variety of scenarios. But interesting for its money. For lovers of space can be recommended! P.S. I hope the developers will add more features

Short and sweet (10hr?) - Worth picking up whenever its on sale :)
