Getting inspired by Resident Evil is one thing, but what happens when you take that same inspiration and mix it with turn-based strategy mechanics? Indie developer Team Vultures has an answer to that with the announcement of Vultures – Scavengers of Death, a roguelike game with elements of survival-horror that takes cues from Capcom’s classic. The team currently has a demo available on the game’s Steam page.
Originally conceived as an experiment in demaking Resident Evil, Vultures – Scavengers of Death evolved into a 3D-based game “similar to a tabletop game”. The team’s goal is to gather feedback from players in order to chart a course for the full game. “While we’ve made good progress, we’re still not entirely satisfied with the interior design of each scenario,” explains the devs. “For this reason, we’ve chosen to focus on validating the game mechanics and the overall atmosphere.”
Vultures sees you undertaking extraction missions in the city of Salento in order to recover a valuable artifact. Of course, the area has had a bit of a bioterrorist attack orchestrated by a secret cult that’s left the populace intertwined with a powerful corporation known as Eugenesys Tech, so you know what happens next.
Once Team Vultures has gathered enough feedback from the demo, they plan on eventually beginning a crowdfunding campaign to help with development.
