March 31, 2026 | Colombian 2-people indie studio Team Vultures and publisher Firesquid Games are proud to announce that, after 4 years in development, their tactical turn-based survival horror Vultures - Scavengers of Death, will launch on Steam this April 28. Inspired by PS1 era classics like Resident Evil and the Parasite Eve series, the game puts you in the shoes of two agents, each with their own combat styles and customize their load out before entering a mission. Once inside, choose your tactics carefully. You may not want to engage in every battle, sneaking can be a viable option but when you do engage, you must rely on your tactical training in turn-based combat. Aim for vital spots or disable opponents to slow them down. Use any method to get out alive with the target.
"Somehow it managed to not just meet, but exceed the unrealistic expectations of the Resident Evil-meets-tactics spin-off I’ve dreamed of for almost 30 years is almost too good to be true, and like-minded genre fans should run, not sneak, to check it out as soon as humanly possible." - Matt Karoglou, Cheat Code Central
Choose your agent to jump into survive and extract the target missions:
Leopoldo - A disciplined operative, guided by an unbreakable sense of duty and a strict personal code of justice. With his strength and ingenuity; move, push and jump over objects to control the environment.
Amber - A tactical operative characterized by her analytical intelligence, agility, and ability to make precise decisions under pressure. Use her grappling gun to traverse the environment and control the position of enemies.
Choose your tactics carefully - Resources are limited with unknowns around every corner. Sneak, disengage and prioritize your approach to every turn-based battle. Extracting with the target is your ultimate goal - Get out alive using every tool and method at your disposal.
