Vultures – Scavengers of Death was sent my way by Team Vultures and Firesquid Games, which I am always thankful for. Vultures- Scavengers of Death is basically what you would get if classic Resident Evil and X-Com had a baby. You will hear this a lot, but there is no way to avoid this comparison because it really wears this on its sleeve.
The story is quite simple: you go through missions investigating an area with characters Amber and Leopold. While doing this, you will fight assorted zombies, creatures, and cultists that have been affected by a biohazard. You can already see the Resident Evil vibe shining through, I am sure. The combat is very tactical, turn-based, and if you have played X-Com at all, you will feel right at home.
Scavenging for items such as ammo and Molotovs to use feels great. Coming from a Resident Evil background, this and the story made me feel right at home. Unfortunately, coming from a Bethesda background, the multitude of glitches and technical issues also made me feel right at home. Starting in the tutorial, I had to deal with multiple crashes, controls that randomly decided not to work at all, and once even a tutorial that just did its own thing and forced me to redue a section.
Now the game still sits at very positive reviews on Steam, and for less than $20, I can see why. The game is far from perfect, and the issues can be easily fixed with a patch, and may even be caused by system specs. It is still a 6/10 title that is worth checking out. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
