Revenge of the Savage Planet: Exploring Comedy
The world of Revenge of the Savage Planet is just as fun and wonderfully detailed. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game’s environments feels alive and complex. In my demo, Reid Schneider, Raccoon Logic’s studio head and co-founder, takes me on a tour of two of the game’s ‘savage planets’, one an acid-green forest layered with pink-leafed trees and a desert world that manages to splash colour into its sandy nooks.
So now we have two pillars, a protagonist that’s a joy to spend time with and a world that’s ripe for exploration. So what do you do in Revenge of the Savage Planet? Essentially, it’s a game that celebrates its main strengths and challenges you to explore these worlds, scanning life forms, shooting critters and gathering resources to craft new gadgets to open up the world to more exploration, blasting and gathering.
Revenge of the Savage Planet has found its voice
There are layers to the game’s world design that shine in my demo. It’s said that good level design is about distracting you from your goals, teasing you off the beaten path with new rewards. It’s something Revenge of the Savage Planet is doing incredibly well.
Conclusion
Herein lies the balance being pitched with Revenge of the Savage Planet, it’s both a visually arresting game that offers unusual alien worlds ripe for exploration while underpinning everything with biting satire and broad comedy. And we’re back to simply enjoying moving in the game, watching the protagonist slide on slime (at one point the character shoots slime out ahead of himself to slip down dunes and slopes, alluding to the physics-based game design) and running in a gangly, chaotic ‘knees-up’ manner through deep water (animation that’s inspired by the Californian surf running subculture).
