Retro-Inspired Action Adventure: Star Salvager Review
Screenshots
Star Salvager by A-Game Studios is a delightful action game that pays homage to '80s arcade classics, combining retro aesthetics with modern gameplay elements. Inspired by vintage games, it introduces original combo-making mechanics that feel like a fusion of TETRIS and breakdancing in space, offering a unique and engaging experience.
Star Salvager features SPACE INVADERS-style combat, adding a wickedly fun twist to the gameplay. Each level is randomly generated, ensuring that no two runs are the same, although the variety isn't as extensive as expected. The game incorporates a roguelite metagame, encouraging players to grind for progress with each run. While this adds depth and replay value, some players find the progression system a bit grindy. The dialogue, delivered by 2D characters, is entertaining, although it lacks depth, and the voice acting can be cheesy at times.
