There is some charm and a fresh concept here, but Vultures - Scavengers of Death is too buggy and frustrating to recommend right now. I expected challenging turn-based fights and rewarding exploration, but got a confusing mess instead. The Bad: Navigation Issues: This is the biggest problem. The maps are blind, directions are confusing, and with so many doors, the game desperately needs a compass. Unrewarding Combat …

Super cool blend of PS1-era Resident Evil and XCOM Tactics gameplay! If you like either or both it's worth a try.

Voltures is a brilliant mashup of genres. It understands survival horror down to a tee, and knows how to translate it into a tactical, turn-based format. The zombies, the music, the run-down locations: this might as well be a PSX-era Resident Evil game on a grid. I have some issues with the game design and challenge, though. After playing for a while, you realize that a lot of encounters are easily solved in the …

This game has really solid foundation, but needs more complexity in my opinion. The gameplay is fun, effects satisfying and has a good soundtrack, but i expected to be some sort of a skill tree for your characters, well that's not here, game is really easy and pretty short, This game feels like introduction for Resident Evil fans to Turn Based RPGs than other way around which results in game being really easy for …

Played the demo and enjoyed it. This game is a neat, cool fusion of tactics and survival horror. Bravo.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What an absolute banger of a game. I'm so glad I decided to support small developers who actually deliver, instead of buying another UE5 slop game or some soulless, trend-chasing soulslike/roguelike/survivor/RE clone. It's a fresh idea full of potential. Massive W.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to recommend this game. As I found it just coming off a session of playing the Resident Evil Board Game. And that is what this game really feels like at first. But after getting the credits to roll, and having my keyboard thoroughly mashed in i cannot recommend this game. It is very fun at first and seems well polished. At first. The more you play the more the cracks in this product show. Firstly the difficulty spikes. The hardest parts of this game are easily the first…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended watch. My wishlists after the stream: - Gloomy Juncture. Disturbing-looking low-poly mistery - Worship. Duotone cultists, 2.5D action, plenty of blood - Vultures - Scavengers of Death. Turn-based Resident Evil? Sign me up - Phoenix Spring. Stunning artsy detective game
neutral · AI labelView post →Vulture: Scavengers of Death Review I usually only post a review after hitting 100%, but currently that seems impossible for me. I put about 10 hours into the game and was enjoying myself until I hit a hard stopping point. The game suddenly refuses to let me continue. The title screen now tells me I need to “finish the demo, win the game,” with no other selectable options on the screen. I have never downloaded the demo version of this game and was/am playing the fully released version of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to really like and thumbs-up this game but its crashing for me every 5 minutes of gameplay. I am not going to refund this as I am hoping it gets fixed and I can continue playing. I never expected this many crashes to happen with a game especially when the graphics are not demanding and for the 4minutes of gameplay before crashing everything is running smooth
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2.5 location down, so kinda early review. Feels very nice. Fun exploring locations, fun solving battle "puzzles". Have some bugs and issues, hope it will be patch out soon.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A love letter to the good old survival games with a retro aesthetic It's good to see that the devs have also thought about the fact that we are not as young as we use to be when Resident Evil was released so they have added turn based combat to avoid us massive jumpscare! Joke aside it's a great game, the atmosphere is top notch and I really love the idea of this turn-based combat into a survival horror setting

neutral · AI labelView post →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…

neutral · AI labelView post →I love the idea of a tactical Resident Evil. But I'll admit I was worried when I started the first mission and almost all difficulty disappeared as soon as you understand how to cheese base zombies without spending any bullet, which is made even worse by the relativelyarge amount of pick-ups and healing stations, and the generous autosave. Fortunately the following levels get a lot more creative, with sadistic ennemy placements (and of course the classic "bosses come back as very annoying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the gameplay itself is fun, the aesthetics and atmosphere wonderful, there are numerous, repeating bugs that completely take away from the experience. All involve actions that you should be able to take during combat but randomly do not work. For example, being unable to do an enemy or wall jump on a valid tile, being unable to reposition an enemy, etc. I've also had a boss randomly get stuck doing absolutely zero actions and experienced a crash while attempting to stack ammo. If they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to love this game. Sadly, it's crashed to desktop over 10 times, half of those in the tutorial. At this point, wait a year and come back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I quite like this game, I cannot in good faith recomend it in its current state. Bugs are very frequent, including four crashes and five or six softlocks (forcing a restart) experienced in my one normal playthrough. Furthermore there is a noticable lack of polish, seen in things such as geometry not being implemented on all furniture properly (zombies will walk through some desks or barriers to reach you), lacking quality of life features such as inventory-box sorting (now being added…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good game, it's a turn based Resident Evil clone, we have more or less the same mechanics but we can also sneak and get permanent upgrades. We play through pre-made big locations and each missions you chose the dude or the girl to play as. I played the full first missions here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKP1aHyyGXk Doesn't have difficulty selection, maybe something unlocks after completing the game, seems a bit easy and has some bugs. Items and ammo seems to save between missions…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was given an early access code to play Vultures - Scavengers of Death's demo and wow, I'm looking forward to the full release!

neutral · AI labelView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game and I haven't regret, I bought it. Yet. Gameplay-wise it's a blend of Incubation & Gorky17 which is amazing by itself. And I enjoy it. But no game should be THAT unpolished on release. Bugs are everywhere. Thank god I haven't hard locked yet, but I play in the constant fear of this happening. Half of mechanics are wonky and inconsistent, in almost every combat encounter glitches are there. Weapon refuses to target enemy, more movement points wasted on a move than should've been,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DIdn't play much but didn't want to cross my refund window. Fundamentally it was fun enough but there seemed to be a little too much railroading me into playing a specific way and follow a specific path. I didn't feel like I had multiple ways to tackle a problem.

It's a tactical turn-based game that feels like a Resident Evil game, at least in the demo I don't turn-based stuff much at all, but I had a good time Thanks to @pantaloon.io and @firesquid.games for the opportunity to get the full game

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Things I Like: +++ Turn-Based Resident Evil: 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. ++ Entertaining Writing/Direction at times: "I'm something of a scientist myself." Some fun moments and…

neutral · AI labelView post →Scratches the itch for resident evil and evil tonight fans. Also parasite eve. There's a few bugs regarding buttons not showing up and some inability to click or move at certain points, but nothing an escape button can't fix. Lovely purchase! Thank you devs! Okay, one small edit. At the mission for Thiago's apartment complex after facing a certain enemy, getting the another weapon out back crashe my game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i just finished the game (with amber) and i already miss it!! <3 i love RE1 and isometric turn-based strategy games, so "vultures" is right up my alley. it really captures the thrill of opening a door and not knowing what to expect, even employing a similar sound design. the search for a safe room sometimes unnerved me but i'm not complaining. (it's great there's an autosave though) the combat system is super fun: select skills that totally did the trick for me, lots of weapon variety, ammo is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hilarious, cheesy game. Super small studious made it. To the people who complain about difficulty? Do not use the push cheese and upgraded knife! I got around just with stealth, upgraded knife and crossbow. And it does make a lot trivial. Still it is cheap, around 10-15 hours and it is charming with the old style graphics and gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, for me it's that kind of games where you watch the trailer for the first time and immediately buy it afterwards. The game itself is a solid nod to 2000's and PS1 era of games, inheriting both best and worst qualities of it. It has tank controls, simplified graphics and clunky inventory, yet possesses the same charm these games had. What I really like about it - its difficulty, which can be a walk in the park if you understand the game's mechanics or an unplayable nightmare if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wonderful art style, good exploration, story is good enough to keep you engaged. Combat feels nice except for the "push into wall/stun" mechanic. It's too exploitable in my opinion and not only on normal enemies, once i got the first boss between Leopoldo and a wall... it wasn't really a fight anymore. maybe add stun resistance buildup?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Managed to get it work, seemed buggy at first. Can't really tell how it is going to work out in the end, but seems cool enough.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the demo, enjoyed very much, came back for more. Very cool resident evil 1 RPG blend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept and fun game - old school Resident Evil but turn-based. Unfortunately it randomly crashes without any reason or error-message.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started the game, first five minutes it crashed. Cool. This should still be in early access. Pisses me off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*sigh* I liked the demo. Figured I'd be a fan of this too. Instead it's just a terrible day to have hands. All sorts of complaints here that completely turned me off the game. The difficulty balance makes no sense. I get that we've got pushing, and can shoot zombies in limbs and stuff to immobilize them. Head shots have like a... 2% chance to one-shot, and you don't have enough AP to try 2 head shots. I have room for 6, but can only do 3. What? There was one random zombie that took 4…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the demo and it was such a good experience, really fun to play tbh. Also the character's design, models and art are awesomeeee
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After multiple breaks with this game, I have to go out of my way to make a review for this nightmare. For all the cool ideas and mechanics presented, there are multiple growing pains when it comes to enemy spam/ui bugs/AI pathing/Crashing/etc. to make what would be a pretty honest turn based horror game into a sluggish hellhole. Every session past an hour of game time, I'm guaranteed to have my game crash randomly or have some visual bug that covers the screen/remove the UI/prevent movement…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun mix of RE and XCOM. As a big fan of both, i was hooked until i finished it. As of this writing however, there are alot of bugs. the camera moving on its own after entering a room, not being able to select weapon after throwing a grenade, items showing (0) in inventory but still taking up space and crashing if you try to move them, and more. Nothing game breaking but definitely annoying. Super worth it at the price though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly pretty damn hard to put down. I hope to see more of this series. I would say it's not particularly scary though it's an engaging and fun turn-based game. Though I do hope if they continue this, they step up the music and voice acting. I set the audio on the music to 0 and just let my own playlists go in it's stead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The demo alone is better than many games out now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Turn based Resident Evil. As soon as I laid my eyes upon the trailer for the first time, I knew this game was made for me. -Fresh idea. -Awesome level design with lots of unique settings, both thematically and gameplay-wise. -Unique and deep mechanics. -Highly replayable. Can't say much about the non-gameplay aspects such as graphics, music and story cause I honestly haven't paid too much attention to those. I just really enjoy playing the game itself, it's so incredibly fun! Few negatives…
