The long-awaited sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet is here—and it’s more colorful, chaotic, and co-op-friendly than ever. Revenge of the Savage Planet crash-landed today on PC and consoles, delivering a vibrant blend of sci-fi exploration, creature collection, and snarky corporate satire. And yes, it’s still best experienced with a friend by your side.
Whether you’re new to the series or a returning Pioneer from the first game, the new installment cranks up the weirdness and the fun with four sprawling alien planets, dozens of upgrades, and more offbeat humor than you can shake a lasso at.
🚀 Welcome Back to the Savage Life
Set after the events of the original, Revenge of the Savage Planet finds you once again stranded on an alien world—only this time, it’s not just one. After being unceremoniously fired by your interstellar employer, Alta Interglobal, you’re left with no paycheck, no plan, and a whole lot of unresolved issues.
Your goal? Survive. Explore. Catalog everything in sight. And maybe—just maybe—get your revenge.
👽 What’s New This Time Around?
Where the original game stuck to a single world, Revenge of the Savage Planet expands the scale significantly. Players will explore four unique alien planets—each loaded with their own absurd creatures, terrain hazards, collectibles, and upgrade opportunities. And that number might not be final. The devs tease there may be even more worlds hidden in the stars.
You’ll now roam these surreal landscapes in third-person (a shift from the original’s first-person-only view), giving the game more personality and a better view of your fully customizable character and space trailer habitat.
🎮 Solo or Co-Op – Online & Split-Screen
While the game is fully playable solo, it shines in two-player co-op, with support for both online crossplay and couch co-op split-screen. It’s one of the few modern games bringing back the joy of playing on the same screen, and the absurdity of alien encounters becomes even more hilarious with a friend.
Whether you’re teaming up with your bestie or your favorite hellspawn, the cooperative format makes this satire-drenched adventure all the more memorable.
🧪 Explore, Capture, Upgrade, Repeat
The gameplay loop remains familiar but refined: explore biomes, scan weird flora and fauna, complete science tasks, and unlock new tools. You’ll also be lassoing and collecting bizarre creatures, many of which can be relocated and kept in pens outside your trailer like some kind of interstellar petting zoo.
From slide boosts to whip grapples and stomp attacks, new traversal mechanics and tools give the movement and combat a more kinetic flow. Plus, there’s a generous helping of “goo” involved. You know… for science.
🎁 Dave the Diver Crossover Bonus
In a fun twist, fans of Dave the Diver can find the titular diver in all his 3D glory as a playable skin in Revenge of the Savage Planet. It’s a charming nod to another indie hit that’s as quirky and beloved as this one. Available in both the standard and Cosmic Hoarder editions, this crossover feels right at home in a universe full of jelly-faced critters and passive-aggressive AI.
🌍 A Visual and Auditory Treat
Visually, the game is once again a standout. The lush worlds feel alive and chaotic in equal measure, stuffed with bright colors, animated plant life, and that unmistakable lo-fi sci-fi aesthetic. Pair that with a cheeky corporate AI narrator and some surprisingly catchy background tunes, and you’ve got a world that’s a joy to get lost in—even if you’re being stalked by an exploding alien goat.
🎉 Steam Launch Bonuses
To celebrate the launch, players who purchase on Steam within the first month will get two awesome extras:
- Trash Panda Suit – because even in space, you can dress like a raccoon.
- Bonus copy of Journey to the Savage Planet – perfect if you’re new or want to gift the original to a friend.
There’s also a 10% discount during launch week, so it’s a great time to blast off.
🧠 Should You Play It?
Revenge of the Savage Planet builds smartly on the foundations of the original—retaining its charm, humor, and quirky design, while adding more worlds, more chaos, and better co-op support. If you enjoyed Journey to the Savage Planet, this is a no-brainer.
It’s not a combat-heavy experience like your typical shooter, nor does it take itself too seriously. But that’s the magic. It’s about goofy moments, unexpected physics fails, and slowly uncovering the oddball world that’s been dumped in your lap.
For anyone craving a cozy-meets-chaotic sci-fi adventure with plenty to do, plenty to see, and plenty of slime to scoop—this one’s worth the trip.
