11 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay offers a simple yet engaging roguelike RPG loop involving combat, looting, and upgrading recruits through connected stages, though it provides only a few hours of content. While some find mechanics like the "juice" feature unnecessarily frustrating, the core gameplay is praised for being addictive, strategic, and satisfying, though lacking in bespoke level design or narrative depth.
“Decent gameplay loop of taking your recruits down into some area, killing enemies, looting stuff, then going to a shop or another area, upgrading your recruits and guns with randomized stat upgrades, and working your way through connected stages.”
“Just a fantastic blend of roguelike and an RPG with a gameplay loop that is simple, yet very fun and satisfying.”
“Salvagers has an addicting gameplay loop, great music, easy to understand but hard to master mechanics, complicated strategies and realtime decision-making.”
“The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression and so on.”
“Not to mention your players simply refuse to shoot; not sure if they just surrendered or if it's a game mechanic.”
“Get rid of juice; it is too annoying of a mechanic.”
