Overview
VAULTRATS plunges players into a desolate future where humanity's remnants drift through space aboard derelict starships. Four hundred years after the old world's end, these hulking vessels are still operational, albeit governed by forgotten rules. Players take on the role of the 'Awakened,' small, fast, and fragile beings who, along with their crew, deploy from the NEZT into these decaying ships. The core gameplay loop involves exploring procedurally generated derelicts, salvaging valuable resources, and extracting them before succumbing to the dangers within. It's a tense dance of exploration, collection, and knowing precisely when to cut your losses and escape.
Highlights
- Co-op Extraction Action: Team up with up to three other players in this 1-4 player co-op experience focused on salvaging and survival.
- Procedurally Generated Derelicts: Each expedition into a derelict ship offers a unique layout, with shifting corridors, rooms, enemies, and hazards, ensuring no two runs are ever the same.
- Roguelite Progression: Embrace the 'do it again' philosophy, as the unpredictable nature of the derelicts and the inherent risks mean players will need to learn from each run and adapt their strategies.
Who It's For
VAULTRATS is designed for players who enjoy cooperative multiplayer experiences, particularly those with a taste for survival horror and roguelite mechanics. If you thrive on tense exploration, resource management under pressure, and the thrill of escaping a dangerous environment with your loot, this game should appeal to you. Fans of sci-fi settings and atmospheric exploration will also find a lot to love.
