Astronauts needed, no experience necessary
Exploring the vastness of space is no trifling matter – it demands precise skill, expert knowledge, and the very best of equipment. Well, normally at least. Journey To The Savage Planet dares to ask the question, what if a rank amateur set out for the stars with nothing but a head full of dreams, a pocket full of hope and the backing of the world’s fourth best interstellar exploration company?
The answer is, er, die a lot. This first-person survival adventure tasks you with exploring a colourful, bizarre and, yes, deadly alien world. But far from feeling punishing, a comedic spirit turns every death into a punchline, after which you simply reform back on your ramshackle ship.
It’s the debut of Typhoon Studios, a small team of 24 devs who all hail from prestigious triple-A backgrounds. The creative director Alex Hutchinson, for example, previously led the way on Assassin’s Creed 3 and Far Cry 4, and others on the team have worked on the Batman: Arkham and Splinter Cell series – so the studio’s got no shortage of talent.
