Revenge of the Savage Planet

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sci-fi action-adventure game and a sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet released in 2020. Following the ideas of the previous installment, the sequel also boasts colorful graphics and a satirical approach to the science fiction genre. Humor is manifested in the plot, as well as in the challenges presented to us.

The sequel was developed by the independent Canadian studio Raccoon Logic, which was brought to life by former employees of Typhoon Studios, responsible for the first part of the series. One of the founders of both teams is Alex Hutchinson, known for his work on the Assassin's Creed series.

Plot

In the game we play the role of an employee of the Alta Interglobal corporation who, after waking up from hibernation, was sent to an alien planet as part of a colonization program. Unfortunately, the employers quickly realized that it was not a profitable investment and decided not only to fire the protagonist, but also to leave him to his fate. Together with the hero thirsty for revenge, we must find a way to return to our home planet.

Gameplay

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a third-person game focused on the exploration of alien worlds. During the game we visit different planets, which are distinguished by their climate, as well as the fauna and flora we can encounter. There is no shortage of lush jungles in the game, as well as ice-bound mountains or vast deserts inhabited by huge monsters moving under the sand.

The main character has a wide range of movements and tools, which make him excel in the role of an explorer. In Revenge of the Savage Planet we can climb peaks, dive in deep waters, and move around with the help of a grappling hook, a jetpack or a hang glider. Dodges and characteristic kicks are useful in a fight, but we can also use ranged weapons. A novelty offered by the sequel is the lasso, with the help of which we can catch certain creatures and then place them in pens next to our headquarters.

An important element of the gameplay is conducting research. We can use a scanner and try to catalog all the encountered creatures and animals. In this way, we gradually develop the character's knowledge and unlock new items that can be crafted (including weapons, armor, and tools). The game also allows us to personalize the protagonist's base.

Game modes

Revenge of the Savage Planet can be experienced alone or in co-op. The cooperative mode includes both playing on a shared screen and through a network connection, regardless of the platform used (cross-play is supported).
