IGM writes: "This is the narrative of Dark Scavenger as best I understand it: You play a wayward space traveler who’s been rescued by a gang of intergalactic scavengers. Said gang consists of three members: a robed skeleton weaponsmith, someone kind of H.R. Giger-esque space horror, and what appears The Joker’s love child if he ever decided to knock up a goblin. This motley crew then deploys you to a nearby medieval planet in search of…uh…space fuel, or something. Long and short of it: this game starts off frickin’ nuts, and only gets more fruity the further you descend into its deranged world of complete lunacy."
Mikhail Madnani: "Dark Scavenger is well worth the low asking price if you don’t mind the nostalgic take on 90s point and click adventure games. Fantastic writing, dark and bizarre humour, and a nice level of replayability make it an easy game to recommend."
Twinfinite writes, "Dark Scavenger is a delightfully strange hybrid of RPGs, adventure games, and card games, and now it’s available on Steam."
There has been a consensus among much of the mainstream gaming industry that point and click adventure have been dead since the late '90s, but that isn't even remotely true. While the mainstream adventure genre has veered pretty heavily away from the point and click roots with games like L.A. Noire and Telltale's brand of adventure games, the indie scene has kept the point and click torch burning for years. Most indie point and click games stick very close to the classic style of the '90s and don't do much new, but Dark Scavenger from Psydra Games is something a bit different; a hybrid of point and click and role playing games.
