Vultures - Scavengers of Death

DO NOY buy this game at its current state. There is so many bugs that ruins gameplay I already reported 10 bugs 5 of which ruins the combat in a unfair way and 1 SOFTLOCKS YOU! This game is the indie game equivalent of Cyberpunk 2077's or Fallout New Vegas's release which both are good games but just a buggy mess at launch! This game would have been 10/10 for me, it's an AMAZING and FUN game I got at this moment 21.7 hours but -8 points of its unplayable mess so now 2/10. This game IS NOT supposed to be early access and be a released state yet it feel's like I was given an undercooked steak. Sure that steak had potential to be cooked same with the game but they weren't patient enough to delay the release of this game and cook it well during its early access. If you want the details as to what are the bugs here: - (Feast of the new Flesh Mission) Central yard's Zombies not visibly present but their groans can be heard, this indirectly led to a SOFTLOCK after escaping from the room with the second clock puzzle where once I killed all the new spawned zombies with also the lobster zombie, the game still thinks there are still zombies which technically are just not visibly present making me not be able to finish the mission. - Shotgun Ammo not appearing on ammo crates when Shotgun is already unlocked The Current patch V1.1.3 actually added more bugs and the previous v1.1.2 did not had these bugs: - Normal Zombies move their designated position in 2 or 3 spaces but then quickly walk back to the space they were from and only move 1 space or none at all instead - Sometimes a zombie moves **11 spaces** but then quickly walks back to their original space and only move 1 space (There's no exaggeration) - Normal zombies sometimes move 3 spaces **and then attack** **sometimes** when they're supposed not to after moving more than 2 spaces. Sometimes they even move **5 spaces** and attack you - Sometimes when a normal zombie is adjacent at the start of a new round, they can attack **twice**, they weren't able to do so in previous patch. - Zombie can move **during player turn** and attack me which is annoying - Sometimes, Ending player turn somehow make enemy turn last 4-5 rounds causing zombies to jump on my boi leo

[h1]Things I Like:[/h1] [b]+++ Turn-Based Resident Evil:[/b] Picture my surprise as a fan of strategy games and Resident Evil-style games, seeing a small team from Colombia reveal 'Vultures - Scavengers of Death'. I like RE-style games, complete with their room-clearing, key-collecting, inventory management gameplay. And making it turn-based just sets it at a pace that's easy to relax and settle in to. [b]++ Entertaining Writing/Direction at times:[/b] "I'm something of a scientist myself." Some fun moments and plenty of easter eggs to all kinds of media, not just the genre itself. Though, the lack of voice-acting leaves a void to be filled in the game's personality. [b]++ Art Design:[/b] I like the overall aesthetic of the art design, including the cover art, UI and character designs. It reminds me of that other RE-like game, Signalis. [b]+ Costumes:[/b] Admittedly, there aren't as many costumes to unlock as I'd like, but the ones that are there are good and you don't have to jump through hoops to get them all. [b]+ Reasonably Priced[/b] [h1]Things I Dislike:[/h1] [b]-- Bugs and glitches:[/b] I've ran into a few here and there. Weapon UI disappearing until I open and close another menu. Characters T-Posing, tunnelling enemies getting stuck out of bounds and soft-locking the game, dead enemies being treated as alive and soft-locking the game and being unable to get 100% completion because areas are inaccessible or just bugged for some reason. That said, every time I've seen an issue posted on the Steam Forums, the moderator has responded quickly and reported it to the team to be fixed in the next update. So while I am happy with the response and I'm sure they'll fix them, the current state of the game that I'm playing and reviewing has a few bugs/glitches happening that need solving. I'll probably edit this section out after a few more updates. [b]-- No Voice Acting:[/b] As I said earlier, the lack of voice-acting leaves a void to be filled in the game's personality in which grunts and murmurs just don't do the fun writing and the cast of distinct characters any justice. [b]-- "Tactical Survival Horror":[/b] I do play a lot of games like this. I've completed both XCOM 2 and all the modern Resident Evil games on the hardest difficulties. But horror is just a flavour here, not a feeling. And even on Survival Mode, I found myself stacked with ammo and meds that it felt like I could goof around like it's story mode up until maybe the second-to-last mission where I had to be careful. I just hope the developers approach difficulty in a way that doesn't take away the fun or turn enemies into bullet-sponges. I think a couple more carefully placed weaker enemies and floor traps in some levels, maybe some increased damage values all-round would do perfectly. Also, the auto-save function is a clear exploit because it does so before you enter every room. So if you miss a shot or realise you could do it better a different way, you can just load the auto-save without consequence. [b]- Not a very pretty game:[/b] And it's not because of the PS1-style graphics, I actually like how some of the models look, especially the main characters. I just think a lot of the rooms have bland designs which make the game boring to look at most of the time and some textures are genuinely an eye-sore. [b]- Weak OST:[/b] While it's not necessarily a bad OST, most tracks are serviceable and do the job, it is an OST that reinvents the wheel in a genre with a lot of soundalikes. Simply not enough to stand out from similar games and not many tracks that energise you while playing or make you want to hear them outside of the game.

I recommend this overall, but it can be pretty buggy which can be frustrating. An example of this, is an enemy that is supposed to drop a keycard for me in the final mission didn't drop a keycard. I'd now have to run the mission all over from the start to make sure that enemy drops the keycard. I also was almost entirely locked out of progressing at one point because of a camera glitch until I set myself to free camera and panned through complete blackness until I saw my characters again. Besides that, there is fun to be had with tactical survival combat. Granted, unless you play on the higher difficulty they just added, it's unlikely you'll be at too much risk at any point. Supplies are plentiful and so are powerful character actions. There are lots of weapons and gadgets to make nearly all of your encounters really fun. Shock-chain stunning, push stunning, inflicting bleed, sneaking and assassinating, and unfortunately at the very end for Amber, a lifesteal bleed setup. I can acknowledge I liked what I got here mostly, but this is really a 6.5 ~ 7 / 10 type experience. These titles usually always get bonus points for me just because I like the theme and the graphics.

I love the idea but there are some VERY prominent bugs.

The premise is novel but it turns into a slog in the back-half of the game, and coincidentally this is where I started encountering bugs like teleporting zombies or the game hanging during a post-boss cutscene. Capping all that frustration off with an unsatisfying nothing of an ending pushed this into the negative for me.

Very fun game. It required a lot of strategy to use my resources wisely and avoid getting hit by the zombies. The only real problem is that the game is still pretty buggy. I had a couple of situations where I got softlocked and had to reload a save to fix the issue. I recommend the game, but maybe wait for a few more patches to fix the bugs.

Game is fun but has mission breaking glitches. I interact with a door and enter a void causing a reload. The game outright crashes at times as well.

把惡靈古堡做成回合戰棋類遊戲，配上復古風畫面，整體上其實還蠻有意思的，但目前版本還有一些BUG和調整，可能要過一陣子，版本玩起來才會比較穩定，很期待未來發展

本来想给好评的，但是越玩体验越差，把我的好感全都磨得一干二净 1.这游戏移动力到底怎么算的？？？我都打了6个图了也没看懂。斜向移动到底消耗多少移动力？（有时候是1，有时候是2，没有规律）敌人也是如此。有的丧失走3格到我面前不会攻击我，有的走了3格却会攻击我，我还见过走了4格攻击我的······精英怪也是如此，有个护盾丧尸（移动力4）竟然走了5格然后攻击我。我根本就没有预期，也就没法想什么策略。 2.各种异常状态都是什么效果？？无论我方还是敌方，中了异常状态就显示1个图标，具体什么效果完全不知道。所以也根本没法对策。所以除了出血这种特别好懂的之外，基本就等于不存在。 3.护盾丧尸。能通过勾爪枪卸盾是我自己试出来的（感谢生化4艾达姐给我的灵感）。但是这怪本身的护甲也多，我不知道设计上是希望玩家如何处理，反正我的方法只能是手枪打头，一枪一枪磨死。顺便吐槽一句自爆丧尸，你见过哪个游戏自爆丧尸能离那么远喷射毒液攻击（还带dot），血还那么厚的？ 4.枪械问题。从第0关开始用的匕首手枪，到后面还是这俩。其它武器我感觉都没啥用。多数都不能打头，伤害也低，那个突击步枪最搞笑，不能打头不说，一个3点射能打中敌人几发没有任何规律？闹呢啊 5.弹药补充问题。这也是除了手枪外不怎么用其它枪的另一大原因。比如我的霰弹枪，自从第1关拿到霰弹枪时捡到了2次弹药，之后直到我打到6图，再也没见过1发弹药······弩也是一样。让我连想试一试其它枪的心情都没有。 6.各种bug。越往后玩，bug越多。比如某个楼顶，我清了2个自爆怪+小怪，然后发现地图走不过去，明明就有一条路但就是不让过，勾爪枪都飞不过去，后面有补给和贵重品，还有1个能绕回来的门（从这一侧打不开），但我就是过不去。其它的比如丧尸瞬移，钻地怪消失（可能是钻地图外去了），估计早有人反馈了，你们就慢慢改吧 —————————————————— 总之，现阶段我不推荐。等官方改几个月再来看看吧。如果体验好了再改好评

Love the game, great feel and aesthetic. 10 Quacks of of 10
