About Salvaged

✦ AI summary

Salvaged puts you in command of a hardened salvage crew exploring a war-torn galaxy as Commander Pieterson, blending story-driven campaign missions with real-time tactical combat where you direct your customizable agents from a first-person command perspective. The game stands out with its immersive VR-first design and unique head-cam views of the action, letting you experience strategy gameplay either in virtual reality or on traditional screens.

The human race explores the stars, but a keen focus on the future has left a trail of desolation in the past. You are Alex Pieterson, commander of the salvage ship Thaddeus and its team of hardened agents. You are a remnant of that past, fighting for survival in a huge new galaxy.

Salvaged is a strategy game designed to be played in both virtual reality and with regular 2D screens. The game’s first-person command view is a unique take on the genre, allowing the player to see the world of Salvaged literally through the eyes of Commander Pieterson.
  • Story-focused campaign - Salvaged features an original story-focused campaign mode penned by Daniel Hunter-Dowsing, a twisting narrative that integrates seamlessly with the game’s crew and combat systems.
  • Command your agents - Take command with unique real-time combat mechanics that force you to think on your feet. Plus, view the action through each of your agent’s head-cams in classic Hollywood style.
  • Upgrade and customise - Your team of Salvagers will become a personal squad of expert alien hunters. Make them your own with customisable skills, weapons and armour. Adapt your team to fit your strategy.
  • A deep new universe to explore - Salvaged takes place in a universe torn apart by warfare, pestilence and greed. The human race explores the stars, but a keen focus on the future has left a trail of desolation in the past.
  • Designed for both VR and regular play - Salvaged has been developed with virtual reality at the fore, designed to immerse you in your role as the commander of the salvage ship Thaddeus. However, the game can also be enjoyed without a VR headset, allowing anyone to experience the tactical gameplay and story-driven campaign.

✦ AI summary

Salvaged has a promising concept but suffers from significant technical and design issues that have gone unaddressed for years. Players consistently report severe performance problems, broken UI mechanics, an unskippable 30-minute tutorial, repetitive gameplay, and poor AI implementation, with several noting the game has received no updates despite being in Early Access for over five years. Most reviewers recommend avoiding the game until substantial improvements are made, if they come at all.

EDIT: It has now been over 5 years since my initial review. The "Early Access" game has recieved no updates. Save your money for something more active. This review is bound to be out-of-date pretty fast, but this was mainly written on (12-13-2016). Okay, I've played quite a bit now. This game has a bit of a "leg up" on other early access games, because it's playable, right out of the gate. There's a campaign (probably) an ending, and everything you *need* for a modern game. But there's quite a bit of problems. First off, the game is VERY slow-paced. I hope you don't have stuff to do, because the tutorial alone is 30 minutes long. Not kidding. You also can't skip that tutorial, even after you've already gone through it on another save. After each mission, you HAVE to listen to a long conversation between yourself and your AI, who treats you like it's "Baby's first starship". That isn't too big a deal, but the game doesn't give you your "mission rewards" or let you choose or look through your next mission until you've sat through a usual 1-5 minute cutscene. This means that if you're low on money, then you can literally do nothing until the cutscene is over, and your money is giv…

The concept is very promising, but the current state of the game is unplayable. Massive performance problems mixed with serious UI issues (like clicking only randomly working), unfortunately, make the game unplayable in it's current form. Considering it's been 6 months with no update and no word from the developers at all, it's hard to imagine this is going to change. I hope they update this game at some point and start making it live up to it's potential, but I wouldn't recommend buying it until then.

A few pointers on your game: 1) The guys in the tutorial can die even if you're following the instructions YOU put out. That wouldn't be a big deal... if you didn't 'fail' the mission when one of them dies and by that I mean the game is literally stuck in a loop with a dead person. 2) At least make the tutorial skippable and/or playable if you're going to do that. Update: Finally got past the tutorial. Why do I stick to my guns on these games...? Okay; here's the spiel. This game is DEFINITELY repetitive. I don't mean grinding but most of the combat is exactly the same. Granted, there isn't much else that could be done with this game in that way. However it is certainly a kind of game I personally enjoy. Let's break this down into pros and cons. Pros: 1) So far, great story. Definitely a lot of potential. 2) Great concept. Definitely worth checking out. 3) Decent enough graphics given the kind of game it is. Neutral: 1) The controls are a bit wonky at first. It really takes some getting used to but ultimately it's not that bad. 2) Your guys don't shoot while moving. Seems like a relatively okay-ish scenario but when you consider you're literally planning a breach…

Seems like a nice concept but generally seems poorly implemented at this stage. The graphics are standard non inspiring and basic. The concept of controlling the characters is novel but seems very limited. There appears to be no real point of not simply send them all just within the door and let them go. You can set movement ponts but that doesn't seem to really achive much besides them running blindly to the point. I hope they improve on this to allow setting so you can command a troop to go to point 1 and do this, THEN move to point to etc. At the moment there seems very little AI, with the troops simply blasting madly at the enemy that also seem to simply head towards them with no real intelligence. The resource system is basic a random, clear the room, here's your items! No real searching etc. Stabiliy and general crashes is the biggest issue at this stage as it hard to go through more than 3 or 4 rooms before the system stops reponding properly. It doesn't crash as such, but seems to just not respond how it should, meaning the only way out is to Alt Ctrl, delete OR RESET the PC. It is an early access game and I only hope that it improve immensely in the near future. Nice …
